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.

This dude is alive for one reason... he was the smartest of all of them.

This guy doesnt actually answer most of the questions. He just starts telling a story instead of answering and its rather impressive.

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.

Fear an old man in a profession where men die young

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

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

"Did it happen in the summer?" "I mean, look... all I can say is it was warm"

I dont know the guy, but already feels like i owe him money

Just from his demeanor and poise alone, you can tell he’s telling the truth about everything. His storytelling speaks volume.

Such a stand up guy no matter what walk of life you come from. Someone you would be proud of and lucky to have as a friend. But completely humble.
