In this full interview, Michael Franzese speaks about his life as a former New York mobster and caporegime of the Colombo crime family, where through the gasoline tax rackets in the 1980s he reportedly made more money for a crime family than anyone since Al Capone. During the height of his scheme, Franzese was selling half a billion gallons of fuel a month while earning approximately $10 million a week, all the while keeping the tax revenue for himself which was spread throughout the family. Additionally, due to the substantial profits being made, Franzese was able to sell the gas at the cheapest prices in the city, thus becoming known as the Robin Hood of his community.
Elsewhere, he talks about family turmoil where his own father put a hit on him after leaving the mafia, who later was given an 8-year prison sentence after Franzese's brother wore a wire and took the stand against him. Additionally, he mentions how the mafia killed Jimmy Hoffa and extorted J Edgar Hoover, as well as sharing information he heard regarding the mafia's involvement in JFK's assassination.

Mr.Franzese answers questions like a man who is planning, thinking, and listening every second. I admire his technique.

This guy is brilliant! He walked away from this life, got out of prison... and all of that without putting anyone else in prison or getting killed for leaving the life.

Michael does not lose. He went thru all his life with power and money and at the end of the life walks away with books, interviews, and many other successful ventures! This man is a boss! Wow.....
-
This guy doesnt actually answer most of the questions. He just starts telling a story instead of answering and its rather impressive.
-
The next big mafia movie needs to be about this man.
-
Smart, disciplined guy. He rarely gives you information that is not already publicly available. He does personalize what he says but only to a point. And is still entertaining.
-
His business brain and acumen far exceeds anyone I know who studied business at University. He also understands very clearly how to smartly manage the expectations put on him. I honestly believe he’s have been incredibly successful at anything he chose to do

I love how this guy talks about everything, without talking about everything.

Just imagine the things that he's NOT talking about. Wow.

32:31 Everytime he speaks at my church… the place is packed. It’s amazing listening to him speak
-
Michael clearly is accustomed to being questioned! Look at how he conducts himself and responds to questions.

A polygraph would be scared to snitch on this guy.
-
"What is your favorite drink?" "Look, when you're into drinking it doesn't matter what the drink was made of. You're just drinking without knowing what you're drinking and when you finished the drink you don't ask about the drink. Not that I liked the drink, but you drank the drink that you had to drink."
-
Just from his demeanor and poise alone, you can tell he’s telling the truth about everything. His storytelling speaks volume.
-
Vlad, your questions were fantastic… I saw one of Michael’s interviews before… but you asked the questions which uncovered for me how it really feels to live the live he lived. Thanks
