The "Yuppie Don", really? He doesn't even rate this thread, tell me when he made his bones? The only reason he was made was because his old man was locked up and Franzese quit school to help support his family.
He never killed anyone...If it wasn’t for his dad he wouldn’t even have been a member..The only reason the gas scam fell into his lap is the Russians reached out to his father for help with protection and licensing for the gas stations but because Sonny was on Parole he passed the deal to Michael...
!
Exactly...And when Michael actually gets caught, he has no violence in his indictment just racketeering.. Very important point...
Its like Tommy Gambino...He was able to buy his way out of a harsh sentence, even after being arrested with Gotti because he wasn't a muscle guy...
Only difference with Franzese is, he's obviously not a muscle guy but yet brags how he beat the government out of hundreds of millions...
You don't do just 3 or 4 years for beating the government out of $100 million dollars a year...Leona Helmsley was tougher then him...She did her time standing on her head...
He says he did most of his time in the hole because they wanted him to rat....Its actually the exact opposite...They put him in the hole to protect him because he was a rat !!
