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
