when sonny franzese and abunch of colombos and associates got busted in nyc like 2008 he was caught in the dragnet. its his claim to fame. he wasnt even in nyc he was based in LA. real low level crimes if i rmember.he would throw around sonnys name to extort people or something like that. the biggest crime in the indictment was sonny was trying to shake down the huge hussler strip club in nyc and he was able to. the gambinos and genovese tried and couldnrt make inroads. i will say sonnys kid the one who wore a wire against his dad think his name was john jr was the guy who got ori busted
