Personally, I like Franzese. He doesn't over-embellish (I'm sure someone will find an example) relative to many other rats. He seems smarter and better educated than most wiseguys. Just seems like a guy born to the wrong dad who woulda made it big in any other field he tried at. Idk, just my .02.
I agree he doesn't embellish his stories or try to bull shit his audience into thinking he was bigger than what he actually was (although we was one of the richest guys on the streets with the gasoline tax scam.)
Doesn't he go from state to state talking to college athletes about the dangers of getting in bed with the mob??
