The 2 people that appear to have transitioned are the 2 that I believe are lying to the public. I believe they hid money over the years and still have enough to live in comfort.
#1 Michael Franzese #2 Phil Leonetti
There are others.
Mikey Scars is apparently doing very well for himself. I've heard that he's making money hand over fist as a contractor. And I've read that Mickey Featherstone is just about the biggest success story in the history of Witness Protection. But for every two guys like that, there are a dozen Henry Hills and Sammy Gravanos.
You can change your life. But only if you really want to. And chances are, if you were a scumbag dope peddling deadbeat when you were in the mob, you're going to be the same scumbag when the Feds reinvent you.
But it still shocks me that people are surprised when these guys show their true colors. A piece of shit sporting a Brioni suit and a Presidential Rolex is still a piece of shit.
Gotta say Featherstone surprises me. He was a psycho.
