How can Michael still respect his father ? His father said at that meeting, maybe Michael did steal. I don't know. Knowing Michael, why didn't his father stick up for him ? Second, when there was a hit out on Michael , his father agreed with it. We know that his father as mentioned in the video, seemed to care for his mob family than his own family. His father almost got Michael killed twice. It makes no sense that Michael could still love him. People that say, well it's still his father, that's nonsense logic ! Michael seems like a decent guy. So people would say no matter what his father did to him, including almost getting him killed, he should still love him. Well his father stops being a loving father and worthy of his son's respect, when he almost gets Michael killed. How does that show his father still loves him and is worthy of love ?

[@ahsanmohammed1]

6:10 My intuition 1. his father knew what he was doing 2. he saved himself 3. by saving himself, he left Carmine two options a. kill Michael, and face the father of the killed son, over time; discomforting b. let Micheal live, face the father of the saved son, over time; comforting 4. Carmine was wise too, when he noticed he couldn’t take out the father, he let the two live 5. The father took a counter intuitive position that saved both. 6. If the father had defended Micheal. The last thing Michael would probably have seen on this earth was his father's blood and or body on the floor. My guess. My opinion. My read. Sorry.

[@xhagast]

I disagree. Dad could have said he did not know anything. But. Sonny was making SO much money, why risk everything after a career of doing the right thing? He had trouble dealing with the money he had. Another million or so? Two? Three? Why risk it? He gave Junior his cut and he was the golden boy. Why risk it? More likely the accusation was all envy. Who else was earning like this? The Lufthansa heist? Peanuts. A truck heist compared with what he made every week. And when did sonny EVER mess up about money? Dad could have said that. Easy. With no real risk. Because it was all true.

I got to meet Michael Franzese a few weeks ago, on August 21, 2021, at a private speaking engagement in which he was the guest speaker. The event was set up by the insurance broker for the company I work with. In total, there were approximately 30 people on hand to listen to Mr. Franzese speak and tell incredible stories of his life. I highly recommend checking out Franzese if he is in your area speaking. Not only was he very entertaining and interesting, but he gave loads of information about the life of a “made man”, answered many questions about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his opinion about the death of Jimmy Hoffa, dealings with John Gotti, various opinions of people and how he felt about certain instances and the way they were handled. Without a doubt, Franzese is a very interesting person. His knowledge and insight about “the life” was very informative, interesting, a bit shocking in some areas, as well as frightening. Best of all, due to the small and intimate crowd, Franzese answered many questions during and after the speaking engagement. The personal stories he told were nuts. He spoke of certain people that are currently pretending they were hitmen for the mafia, his plans for the future, and he even briefly discussed his sit down with Sammy “The Bull” Gravano.

And among the jewish gangsters who fought the nazis was Jack Ruby who was the man who killed Lee Oswald, the man who killed jfk. so he claims there’s a mob tie in the assassination of jfk but the government wants to keep in under wraps cause it would be an insult to USA to confirm that a mob was involved in the killing of their president

to michael, not to sonny the wiseguy 3000.

I mean isn’t his father not his biological father

Where are these guys from interviewing? Canada?

I've actually done charity work with his brother. He has gotten sober and gives back and works with addicts alike. Part of his recovery was he had to be honest so that he could move forward. Idk if I would have became an informant but it's also not for me to judge.

God Bless you stay well.

He informed on his dad. I'd rather do my time than ever rat on my parents.

[@jotac87278]

@@JimmyLeSpurs that's obviously your choice. I can't say that I'd do differently. I hope we're never put in that position.

What’s up with the tubby guy wearing his sisters T-shirt?

[@kieranb7747]

already told this story, so many times it takes one google search to find about this.

[@cultivatedmind8352]

"I never brought it up" "He denied it" Hows he gonna deny something you never brought up?

[@Rangerfan11]

If you listen clearly…Michael said he wrote in his first book. So his father must have read the book and then denied it.

[@kingstreetrecords1964]

@@Rangerfan11 yes but "not bringing it up" implies it was never discussed between Michael and Sonny, unless of course he means Pops denied it in another interview/ media after reading about it and having it addressed by someone other than his son. That wasnt the impression I got from Michael's language, but maybe that's the underlying assumption I'm missing here I guess

[@Assface2k]

His father denied it to people who they both knew

[@ACook94]

Maybe his dad read his book then denied it to him?

[@thomasr.8658]

He never brought it up at this time, his father brought it up after reading the story in the book a few years later.

2:30 .... we see you baby girl 🔥🔥🔥

So whatever happened with Micheals first wife?
