It is obvious that he is set for life, he does not need that life anymore.

If you can show me substantial evidence that he's still a bad person, I'll agree. But as far as I can tell, he made changes to his life for the better. Especially in a position that's terrifying to leave. The choices he made weren't easy. So I have a hard time thinking he did it knowing that he wasn't leaving that life behind.

[@TheTwitchybird]

@@RoughEndDrag Of course he is being honest about his actions, they're public knowledge. You haven't noticed how he's extremely dodgy in every single interview kind of thing that he does when it comes to things that aren't public knowledge? Why wouldn't he be honest about things he's served time for? lol. He's not a 'bad' person now simply because he doesn't need to be. He has everything he wants and needs now so why would he go back to living that life now that he's out?

@@TheTwitchybird he didn't need to be a better person either. Look at everyone else who stayed in the field. Either way, virtually no one is supporting his crime. I'm certainly not supporting his past. I'm supporting the idea of growth and change.

Tia Power Im convinced we truly live the end times, and that is not much till we will hear about the sunday decret! As the Catolic church, ran the inquisition in the midle eve, so it will be în these last times, with al who will want to live only to a 100 % "stays writen", especilay the true sabat (4th comandmnt in the ten laws, Exodus 20:8)! I recomand you get a book caled The great controversy by Ellen White! It depicts the war betwen good and evil from Lucifers fall, till the very end, and in the last 100 pages youl find everything about the sunday decret, what we live, whats to come, pure undiluted truth, with amazing insights! Is a must read for everyone who is intrested that we live the end times, and how everything, is playing out! May God help us be sheeps and not goats in that day! God bless you and youre loved ones!

Mike chases him away, within 2 min, that CO drops a NKJ Bible through the door slot. Bing Bang Boom. His wife is a Born Again woman, her entire family is. He is by his own admission blessed beyond anything he could ever imagine. He has a rare opportunity among former Fed Inmates, he can witness in Federal Prisons. To Organized Inmates. I know folks in the sewer of New York and on L.I. word on street is Mike is legit Man of God. So both the good guys and verry bad guys both say his conversion is legit.

Are you and I good enough to meet God’s standard of righteousness required? Do we qualify for heaven? He shows us whether or not we do. Would you consider yourself to be a good person? How many lies have you told, and what do you call someone who lies? Have you ever stolen something, no matter how small, and what do you call someone who steals? Have you ever taken God's name in vain/blasphemed, even ‘OMG’? That’s taking the name of the God who gave you life and using it in the place of a cuss word - would you do that with your mother’s name? Have you ever dishonoured your parents? Jesus said whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery in his heart. Have you ever looked with lust? Most people probably have broken all 5 of these commandments. I myself have. I’m not judging you but if you have done these things then you’re a lying, thieving, blasphemous, rebellious adulterer-at-heart by your own admission. That's only 5 of the 10 commandments. God is fully just so he must and will punish every and all sin (which is departure from/rebellion towards God and the conscience) when he judges us. He cannot simply cancel our debt and let us go, or else he would be unjust. If you went into the courtroom and said: ‘Yes Judge, I’ve done these things but I also give money to the Red Cross and volunteer at an old-age home. I try my best to love people’ the judge is not going to take that into consideration. You’ve broken the law; the good you’ve done won’t help at all on the day of judgement. If he judges you by the moral law will you be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? The answer is Hell. Doesn’t that concern you? But, fortunately, that is not God’s will. He is so loving and merciful, he made a way for you to be forgiven. The Son of God came down as a man, Jesus Christ, and lived a perfect, sinless life, so was the perfect sacrifice. He excruciatingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the FULL debt we owe because of sin; justice is fully done. You and I broke God's law and Jesus paid the fine in his life's blood, being resurrected again 3 days later. That’s why he said “It is finished” on the cross - in other words the debt has been paid. God has the payment ready to go for you. What you need to do is repent (recognising you are a sinner deserving God's punishment, turn to Him) and trust ALONE in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins. Our works can do nothing as by the standard of God’s moral law we fail, but faith in him is enough to save us from all sin - past, present and future! Then though you have grievously offended God, he will forgive you and you will inherit eternal life being reborn in the Holy Spirit when you put your trust in the Lord and saviour. Too, you enter a covenant relationship with God - sonship, and truly I tell you your life will change in his presence. So repent and trust (i.e. Biblical faith), receive the free gift of grace. He redeemed me. God, The King of The Universe, came down as a man. He lived the first 30 years of his life as a poor carpenter then spent the next 3 preaching, healing and saving souls - all the while being persecuted, insulted and hated by his own people - and took the punishment to save our lives. It’s the most amazing love that anyone ever displayed. Christianity’s not just a religion. It's a pure, sweet relationship with God. Because of Jesus, I am now a son of God. He is my dad, and you can be his child too. God loves you. Will you let him come?

Again proof? The mobsters he does mention are dead. And him talking about himself isn’t snitching. Not sure why people think it’s ok to throw dirty on someone’s name without any proof. Again he left without getting anyone locked up. I’m not sure why you don’t understand that. Everything isn’t a goodfellas movie guy. He beat 5 indictments I’m sure they didn’t wanna chance him beating another and offered a decent deal.

[@CokoKimono]

Wow. This is Dope. One of the best ones yet. He's so poised & well spoken. Great story!

[@AliciaM5555]

Did he say his father got out of prison at 100yrs old? 😳 He looks like he smells good and mind blowing he is almost 70yrs old!

[@gristmill1213]

His own son, not Michael here but Sonny Jr. wore a wire and turned on his dad and sent him back to prison when he was in his 90's im pretty sure. So there was no love lost between Mike and his brother Sonny for many years but i think they reconnected after the dad died not too long ago.

[@bellagarzia9653]

We Italians got good genes lol but yeah that’s crazy fr

[@jonnboimuhfucka]

John "Sonny" Franzese is not his biological father... but he raised him as his own since birth...Michael didnt find out till he was an adult.

[@jonnboimuhfucka]

@@AnishinaabeWaterProtector yeah...he looks NOTHING like him... I mean compared to Jr... (son who ratted him out) who is a spitting image of Sonny... and the daughter looks like him too. Michael even said in a recent interview that his real father died some time back. Just my opinion ...I kno it sucks when u find out your family lineage isnt what u were told ... happened to me...although probably way worse in that life where ur lineage stands for something.

[@sillyrockstar1984]

He looks like he knows how to treat a lady. Like he’s good with the kisses down under

[@DEeMONsworld]

Intimidating at the start of the interview, he practiced his skill at sizing up people with the interviewer. after establishing that this was going to be a soft interview, he said to himself, OK, this is a nice kid I'll give him what he wants.

[@Bryanbobber]

I also thought that. But he was sizing up the interviewer before they even turned the cameras on. Trust me. I know.

Besides the false sabt(Sunday),and teh wide spread of spiritism(yog, karma, ouiaj bord, reiki,hipnosis), last final decie wil be ,atht satn himslef wil come as Hrist, sayinghe changed teh day of rest! And this decie wil be poerful for al those who dont read teh Bible for themseles,as it wil be flowed by great miracles and healings,everywere he wil apear! But teh Bible dosnt live su without wraning to this and cleaerly says aht when Jesius coems " All eyes wil see Him" ,so everyone on earth, wilse satans fake only here and there! -read Mathew chaoter 24! Another direct warning to teh spirit f the anthirst is in 2 Joan 7" anyone who says atht Jesus doenst coem in flesh/body, is teh spirit of the anthirst"! And i would sugest you get abook caled " The great cintroversy" by Ellen White, is ana mazing book, wich depicts the war betwen good and evil,from Lucifers afl til teh very end,and in the last few chapters, is everything about what we live, and whats toc eom, pure undiluted truth, with valiuble insights!

This man is mesmerizing. He should teach a masterclass on charisma.

[@agangstersparadise1]

I don't think that is something that can be taught. Its one of those things you either have or you don't.

[@brendawilliams5182]

He can’t teach this. It might be the only thing he can’t do.

It's insane that this guy is almost 70! He looks like he's in his early 50's. The way he carries himself is so sexy. He seems so intelligent and just like gentlemanly. Lol. I'm glad he turned his life around and got out alive.

Michael is articulate handsome guy with a great gift of telling his life’s story. Glad he is still around to tell his tale. To pull back the curtain of that kind of lifestyle is riveting. Thank you Mr. F

Amazing story. Smart guy. The fact that he's still alive says something.
