Can You Ever Truly Escape The Mafia? Former Mob Boss Shares Dark Secrets…

Former Mafia Boss Michael Franzese was sentenced to 8 years in prison for defrauding the US government out of millions of dollars in gasoline tax money. In this clip he recalls how his partner in crime snitched and became an informant against him, where all the money he made in his mob career is now and he shares exactly how hard it is to walk away from the mafia unscathed.

I've heard the best way to escape is to lay low and only go on like 3 or 4 podcasts a week max.

[@darthconquerus]

Yeah if he was in any danger he would be lying low. I suspect the lack of power the mafia have has meant he’s able to come out and talk

[@KyleSLFC]

😂😂😂😂

[@oblidi123]

becoming a public figure makes the stakes a lot higher for ordering a hit on him. I think he's smart in what he's doing. if he got hit there would be a lot more questions now compared to if he led a quiet life

[@ski8615]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@enjoyingytbshorts8687]

Bruh he left the live in early 90s now is 2024 and the mob become weak and weak

[@Mothers_milk]

I've never seen Michael so relaxed on a podcast and cracking jokes,he's actually kinda funny,great podcast

[@sabine4867]

The Brit's bring out humour in people..👌😊

[@ryanyates4124]

As a mafia expert myself having recently played the mafia trilogy, I agree with Mr. Franzese

[@user-zz5hm1xn6l]

Michaels dress shirt with the black lining on the collar ... OK yes very nice.

[@sabine4867]

These 2 host's obviously made Michael Franzese feel very relaxed.. they're very likeable. Some good laugh's.😊😊 Yes,when some people love,they Will endure extremities for them. Michael is blessed to still have his family after all these rollercoaster's of his life. He also made sure he did the right thing by them in the end. He chose "his" family.👌

[@-scrim]

michael is such a king

[@franksindoneii5410]

The constant laughter from the two hosts while Michael is describing his life is so disrespectful.

[@christinebernazzoli9981]

The hosts act very unprofessional while hosting a serious interview! Michael probably thought so as well!

[@bubuerrico9950]

These 2 have never heard of Noriega? 😂 wtf!

[@PeterSothern]

I like michael but he's told these stories dozens of times

[@user-gf5he2fr7y]

.....HES ALL ABOUT DIRTY MONEY ! WHY ? BECAUSE THATS WHAT HE DOES.....

[@cindyrussell1581]

That's the only story there is.

[@rickyporter1265]

I'VE HAD TROUBLE FINDING YOUR BOOKS IN TEXAS BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TITLES OF YOUR BOOKS, SO I LOOK FOR YOUR NAME OR PICTURE ON THE BOOKS! LOL

[@CreakyBlinder]

Loved this podcast and it's funny that you both seem slightly scared of Michael 😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@user-gf5he2fr7y]

......Their all full of SXXT...

[@bruuhhhh]

'he died 2 years later' 'died of?' and no answer lol I think we know what that means

[@stratum-rw1uq]

After 19 years?

[@taleoftwowolves74]

@@stratum-rw1uq A life contract rarely ever goes away. Only reason Michaels ran out was the boss died and Michael made it very obvious he was no security threat

[@stratum-rw1uq]

@@taleoftwowolves74 the guy is talking like michael killed him after all those years. After quitting the mob was my point.

[@taleoftwowolves74]

@@stratum-rw1uq Oh right, I thought he just meant a mob hit in general.

[@siweiss9214]

You guys should go on the road. Comedy funny

[@rickyporter1265]

THESE SMART PHONES ARE A LOT SMARTER THAN I AM!

[@tomking7080]

What people don’t realize is that the women,the wives, the daughters, the sisters are the ones that are really strong in those situations. Because you are in prison doesn’t only affect you. You are locked up and can’t really do anything. They are the ones putting money on your books,raising your kids,being mom and dad at the same time. You can only do so much. Yes you can call everyday and talk to your kids and try to be a father,husband but it’s not the same thing. Over those 8-10 years your kids are growing up without you. Your daughter was 7-8 years old when you went in and when you get out she is in college,driving a car,dating. The world has changed and everyone grew up without you. I have friends who went to prison for 5,8,12 years and it’s a difficult thing to deal with when you get out. I give the woman a lot of credit because they are the ones who keep the family and marriage together. Also not many women can wait for 8 years. Most women who have husbands in prison for more than a couple years don’t make it. The relationship just doesn’t last. Then the men get angry at the women but it’s like really? You can’t expect them to put their lives on hold for you. You put yourself in prison,they didn’t. You can’t be upset with them leaving.

[@michaelthrower7165]

These two guys interviewing Mike are really funny! They laugh at everything! Had me laughing!

[@Bicorn711]

I guess he was right about hanging around influencers part

[@JeremyBercow]

Every man’s hour will arrive

[@stephenlan5450]

I want to buy that house in Medford, Ma. The one that the FBI recorded the 1989 induction ceremony

[@adamlees8410]

These presenters arent the usual "style" of presenters usually interviewing Michael Franchese shall we say. I've never seen such serious topic's laughed at before from the interviewer's. I don't think a couple of middle class, giggly, wet behind the ears guys were a great match for an interview with a mafia boss but they were hilarious interviewing Carlton Cole!

[@jeezpeople3672]

You can escape "the life", just go on every other fuckin podcast ever 4-5 days a week, and spend the other 2 days talking about your gas scam or wine or your beliefs, easy way to make a living right there

[@user-gf5he2fr7y]

......MAKE THAT DIRTY MONEY, still......
