Here's stand up guy Franzese naming names !!

I can’t watch 22 min.
He said that nothing he said led to a conviction

He probably could have been caught on audio or video with someone and had no other reasonable answer.


Probably went down like this:

MF: Hey Junior, I have to name a few people I associated with

Junior: Ok, add another $5,000,000 to the current buy-out amount, but don’t say my name.

He was convicted because of Franzese's testimony...This guy's got everybody bullshitted !!

Out of all that ... that piece of shit Al Sharpton is still on the streets scamming any one any place he can and calling others out ... he has always been a piece of shit late 70’s early 80’s he was in AC trying to get in with anyone that would get him around Scarfo .

They are both stone rats! Franzese and Sharpton. In their own ways they stuck it to everybody. They still are!

Damn, he's dropping all kinds of names!

Even Gerry Cooney..He wasn't even asked about Cooney, he volunteered his name...So the guy gives ya a tip and you win an easy $30,000 and you pay him back by snitching on him to congress ?? What a guy !!

Haha of course Michael Franzese is a rat. He was an impressive earner, even in his early 20s he was an earner, but the man never had the balls to walk the walk. His father was as stand up as they come, but he raised a weakling

Nicely put

He may not be a 100% rat but this is 100% snitching, even if a lot of these guys were dead or in jail at the time.

who was convicted? Link to the court records?

Franzese is a snitch, not a rat, I dont believe any of his direct testimony put anyone in jail

https://www.nytimes.com/1989/03/15/sports/crime-figure-testifies-to-link-with-sports-agent.html
"Mr. Franzese admitted that he became a Federal informer in February 1986 and that his sentencing in connection with the charges for which he pleaded guilty was contingent upon his cooperation with the Government in several investigations."
"He stated that he had informed the Government of meetings at which Carmine Persico and top leaders of New York's five organized-crime families discussed taking retaliatory measures against Federal agents."

https://www.nytimes.com/1989/06/20/sports/two-sports-agents-get-prison-terms.html
"While agreeing that Walters and Bloom were not the only guilty parties, Judge Marovich said the sentence was motivated in large part by the testimony of Michael Franzese, the admitted captain in the Colombo organized crime family, who told the court that he was a silent partner in Walters's sports agency and had exerted pressure on Walters's behalf for many years in the entertainment industry."

Him testifying against the Russian mob in front of the subcommittee on organized crime
“Another Mafia defector, Michael Franzese, who has admitted to being a captain in the Colombo crime family, is expected to testify about multimillion-dollar gasoline excise tax frauds engineered by Russian criminals and the Colombos, investigators said”

Here’s the link to the testimony. Notice the dollar figures that come out of Franzese mouth are complete bullshit. Honestly he’s a bullshit artist. He exaggerates the money and he claims he didn’t snitch. Complete and easily verifiable bullshit

I find it amazing that Michael Franzese has become this YouTube superstar and somehow convinced people he never ratted or was making $7-10 million a week. Now he's reviewing The Sopranos on his channel, claiming it's the greatest show ever made after years of saying the entire show was a joke.

Lol yeah Franzese is basically the same as someone like Sharpton. They're all first class stool pigeons and the government just allows them to grift.
Of course everyone snitches these days. I mean, the Italian-American mafia has always been in the spotlights so their rats are widely publicized, but the same thing happens with the Black and Hispanic gangs or any other kind of organized crime these days: it's a stoolie fest all around. And it's not difficult to see why: in the past a snitch would've ended up in the trunk of a crappy car with a crowbar inserted in his anus. These days snitches - especially high profile ones - are the ones that come out laughing. Of course they snitch, because they know they get off with a light sentence after which they can just continue being grifters without disturbance.

And 25 years later, he's still scared to the point where he wouldn't even attend his own fathers wake and funeral...That's not because he left the mob, its because he was a rat...Even his own mother says it in that video..That's probably why he left her to be homeless in her last days !!

And this is the bum that all these YouTube groupies fawn over ??

You people need serious fucking help.

You've glorified murderers and rapists to the point that you now think if they dared to tell the truth they somehow aren't good people?

You know because people like Christy Tick who gang raped 15 year old girls, hes more worthy of your affection than someone like Franzese.

No, we are recognizing someone who found god and doesnt think telling the truth is a bad thing. Some of you ascribe to the Gotti "steeple sticking out of my ass" method. The rest of society would like to see this type of shit stop.

Some of you glorifying mobsters on this board because you think its glamorous and something to aspire to. The rest of us are on this board to remember this shit so it doesnt happen again.

You'd rather glorify a guy like Gotti or Lucchese as if any of these people were men of honor. I can't name a single person in the entirety of LCN who had integrity across the board.

I haven't glorified any mob guys...I guess that groupie remark struck a nerve !!

And spare me that he found god...He has a nice big house in California, brags almost every day about how much money he made and yet had his mother living in her car and his father in a nursing home, 3,000 miles away...Does that seriously sound like a man of god to you ??

I dont even follow Franzese but I respect a guy who tells the truth a fuck lot more than murdering rapist pieces of shit that some of you think is worth glorifying because they didnt rat.


all of these people are reprehensible individuals

only those who have seen the error of their ways and are trying to atone are in any way worthy of any level of respect

But yet here you are defending a guy you don't even "follow"....so how would know what he says and doesn't say and whether it's fact or fiction? -- Lisa B

Franzese tells the truth ?? He gets caught in lie after lie as the above videos prove..

If he's trying to atone for his mistakes, then he should give restitution to the kids of his best friend that he had killed so he could make even more money off the gas scam !!

BINGO!!!!........ DiLorenzo, you hit the nail square on the head! DONE! 1000%....... if ANYBODY cannot see what you are saying, and doesn't understand it, and agree with that assessment, then they are either blind and deaf, retarded, or both!

Michael Franzese was, and is, a rat! Plain and simple! There is no two ways about it. He is a greedy, self-centered scumbag. A spoiled brat who lived off his fathers name. He hung his blood family out to dry, his personal friends, his "associates," even his first wife and children to leave for Cali to make another life and family with some girl he met and was smitten by. I guess his first wife (and the beautiful little kids he had made with her were not good enough). POS!

He said something that he loved his brother on one of his videos and all suckers were eating it up and saying you're a great guy Michael to forgive your brother etc..I couldn't take it anymore and posted do you think his brother appreciates Michael always mentioning that he's a junkie and rat in almost every video he makes ?? Franzese deleted the comment...

Interesting that you bring up his wife...Franzese wrote in his book and always says in videos that his father put a contract out on him, but when that Trevor Mcdonald did his video, he interviewed Franzese's wife and she said that she didn't want Michael to go to NY to visit his father because she didn't trust Sonny and then she said Michael told her you're crazy, my father would never do that...She basically contradicted everything he's said !!

Correct. There are a million more things about his bullshit persona that he's "styled" for himself over the years. With all the suckers eating it up like its gospel.

He's a jerkoff. A wealthy jerkoff. But a jerkoff nonetheless. And a rat. and a degenerate who threw his entire family under the bus for money, etc, etc.

But I am not here to invalidate M. Franzese. If anybody REALLY checked his history, most of it is there to see for themselves. I hate to use the word "legitimate suckers" but that's what he's playing legitimate people for. Suckers!! Plain and simple.

He's a car salesman. He did it for a living. Lol and he does it in theory.

He's NOT a rat??? Go ask Junior Persico, Little Allie Boy, Jerry Lang, Joe T, Little Vic, and all the rest of em. Go ask Chin!! See what they say.

DO NOT MAKE ME LAUGH!.... because he's a fucking clown!

LMFAO if you don't get that Franzese is a bonafide grifter I don't know what to tell you. Found God? That's what they call a shtick. Franzese's a rat and now he's just hustling his way through life having all of those chumps fooled.

Correct! and he's making more money with suckers like this idiot TonyBombassolo eating it up and subscribing and paying their money into his pocket.

Like the old adage goes, "there's a sucker born every day, and two to take him!"

Tony is a BORN SUCKER! And there is no redemption for him. He's a lost cause. He must live in "Bumble-fuck, Jerkoff-land" or something. He CANNOT be a NYer or from a major city. Or even be a sharp guy for that matter.

No doubt about it, he takes them for suckers...If I recall correctly, he even called a lot of people on YouTube, groupies

If this Tony could, I'm sure he'd drop to his knees in a flash in front of Franzese and go to town on him! LOL

What a banana!

Another little observation I've made over the years is that its usually the "Holy Roller" types, the guys who are so indignant, that are less than righteous themselves. They are usually the biggest frauds and bullshitters. If you could peel back the layers of their lives for review, they usually are the biggest hypocrites and frauds of all. Sort of like this "Tony" character.

Anybody with half a brain, and who is confidant in themselves, doesn't need to try and denigrate other people to try and elevate themselves (in their own mind of course). They attack others to put shade on their own activities and integrity (or lack thereof)... Fact!
