This fucking guy didn't say shit about what he was doing. SO HE WASN'T KICKING UP THE GAS SCAM MONEY! Michael Franzese is a liar. Fucking guy wanted it all for himself, but he got in trouble for it and his only way to escape the Colombo family wrath was to deliver his best friend, Larry Carrozza to the wolves. Michael used Larry's share to keep Carmine and Gerry Lang calm. This is what I believe really happened.
