So Sonny approved?

@@powell4661 yeah… Michael explains on one of his videos when he was walked into the room for his sit down

They let him off because of all the money 💰 there all green eyed rats 🐀

He's 💯% a rat

You doe’s took the words out my mouth! We’re am from that stone cold grass in🥶

He says he ratted now. Even Sammy says he did.

Im pretty sure they already knew most of the stuff. He never said anything that put anyone away

​@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 yes So true 👍

It's shockingly blatantly obvious.

They never lived the street life, and they’re just stupid

This was already known . This is just a confirmation of sorts .

​@@courtneybrubaker9738not really as everything he said here was already known by the government not as if he was telling them anything new

he didn't rat. He took a plead and manipulated the situation

lol.

He'd only just got out of the family

It's funny how he said he never ratted either.

F*cking nauseating! You don't ever admit the existence of this thing! I did 20 years in the can!

I’m surprised tho clip isn’t bought up. I believed he didn’t rat. I was wrong

just because he mentioned them doesn't mean he threw them under the bus the feds knew all that already lol

Yes he did.

@@curse587 You still don’t mention it!!!!!!!

@@curse587 that's how the FEDs build cases ....you know that right ?

@DisLB you do realize they can add to peoples sentences and it could implement a whole lot of other people by association due to the RICO act.

No one ever went to jail on behalf of Micheal .

@@GiveMeaFuckingBreakDude As if you would know, you Franzese knob jockey

Nope this was already known this is just a confirmation of sorts . 😊

Who freaking cares!!! He’s a great guy turned his life around and deserves props for that! I’m sure others dropped his name right back, all of these guys snitched on each other that’s what was going on then. I remember watching these back in the day… Sammy was the worst ruined everyone’s day

@@tpw9099 Yeah his partner snitched on him and that's what got him arrested. Like you said, they all snitch on each other. Even bosses are snitching now.

This is 1992 , Sonny and Michael were both captains . Sonny was the underboss from early 60s to mid 60s when he got convicted. So he didn’t rat on his father .

@@sanket677 Yes he did. The government uses these hearings to verify positions within the families. This is the EXACT same thing that Joe Valachi did! Valachi didn’t send anyone to prison directly but his testimony was used in countless investigations. Everyone Michael is naming was definitely investigated, possibly fined or fired. He could have plead the 5th but he had already signed a cooperation deal to get out of prison (1989) and debriefed the FBI & US attorneys. Michael Franzese was a made man, not a civilian! Calling the cops anonymously is snitching. It doesn’t matter if someone is convicted or gets probation. Also, Joe Valachi never took the stand as a witness, Michael did. There’s no argument that he was an informant. No excuses. He told the authorities that his father had a hit out on him, told the feds about their rackets, positions. That’s 100% snitching!

Around 7:53 he names Carmine "Junior" Persico as the boss. This can't be good for his well being 😂😂

@@MOBFAX I had read that Valachi did testify once, in a case against Persico sometime in the late 60’s for hijacking arrests from 1960. Resulted in Persico heading to prison for the first time. Did you read this?

@@danevertt3210 I forgot about that. He did testify back in 1963.

Right, and to the senate, he's a big RAT!!!

Sammy testified at the same hearings, naming names and talking about other families.

I was under the impression that he never ratted. Boy was I wrong. 🐀🧀

@@jonathansemler369 : ratting is testifying against someone at trial to save yourself.

@@tommyboyindy1157 that's one of many ways to rat.

It's all BS! He grew up in, and taught how to BS.

@SubArc Adventures That’s a good question.

@SubArc Adventures William Cutulo Sr., Scarpa Sr., Greg Jr., and several other Colombo members

@@DontDefuse I'm not necessarily doubting you but wouldn't that have been the same indictment Larry Mazza was on? I haven't heard him say anything about Franzese having involvement in that. Incidentally they got everything they needed about the Colombos from Scarpa anyway, didn't they? Again though, not strictly doubting you. Just wondering.

@@elmerofairo Search up Investigations Officer v Cirino “Charles” Salerno, and William Cutolo. It’s a government document that outlines people that Michael Franzese ratted on and his testimonies were instrumental in their takedowns. Franzese was an FBI informant…his mother cut off ties with him when she found out he was a rat.

He's the biggest phony there is !!

Jeez, you guys need to do some research. The guys that he's talking about were informants or agents trying to setup Don King. Their fake story was that they were trying to launder money. You can find out all about it, it's public record.

@@pulitzerprizejansaba7341 Andrew Russo was an informant ?? He called him a captain...That's naming names you clown !!

He never said he didnt. He always say that he talked about this but that nobody went to prison on his words

@@ponta6887 don’t mean sh!t. He named names, he’s a snitch,

He never said they committed a crime . He mentioned who was the capo etc. he was stating what the Government had already known. This was long after the mob was all brought down . Nobody was convicted because of what he said . That’s not being a rat

@@stephenmckeown260 WRONG. You never admit the existence of their thing. In mob circles, that is the exact defintion of being a rat .

@@russelltolbertii5728 well then u could say carmine persico was a rat because he admitted the existence of cosa nostra

@@russelltolbertii5728 Carmine Persico, the Boss of the Colombo's, literally told the court that he is the Boss of this family. So, why should Michael not mention that (which he did in this video)?

And this prick looks down his nose at Sammy The Bull , a rat , is a rat, and I don’t care how you slice it up , And Michael is here snitching his ass off

I was thinking the same thing. Go figure

Yes he did. The video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMCllMmlvLTYXac.html

Sammy did a looooot more than that.... Gotta watch HBO'S GOTTI. Back in those days Sammy was on TV more than OJ... Testifying on all the families in New York. I think over a hundred trials he testified in. The very first of its kind at the time

@@BirdFromYakiVegas The difference is Sammy doesn't try to deny it or deflect, or shy away from what he did. I think in all he's responsible for around 30 convictions. I also think that in his defense, Gotti should take as much responsibility for what ultimately ended up happening. After all, Gotti is the one who solely brought all of the heat of the FBI onto the Gambino family at that time- even going back to the Castellano hit. Sammy is guilty by association and blindly following orders from a man that in all honesty, he should have got rid of a long time ago. If he was smart, he would have went to Paul with the news that Gotti was going to put a hit out on him and history might be different.

@@BirdFromYakiVegas Phil Leonetti

He doesn't say it that way, he plays with his words. But that's exactly what he did.

He said he cooperated but he his testimonies didnt hurt anybody

@Kenzie GameFowl Farm but he didnt incriminate anybody because those are all known facts. The only one he almost incriminate is Norby Walters, even Sammy know that.

@Kenzie GameFowl Farm but it was all common knowledge. It was out in the news who was who. It wasn’t like he was revealing it. He was just admitting his part

Lucky Luciano said that too.

This is a senate hearing, not a criminal trial.

Do you think those in the Mafia would accept that explanation

@@94MD94MD Well you seem to think that senators went and arrested mobsters right after this testimony

No, I'm saying that Franzese's claim he never ratted is clearly bollocks afrer watching this video

@@94MD94MD To my knowledge is only claim is that he never put anybody in prison, which from what I can tell seems to be true. He's even acknowledged this senate hearing a few times if I remember correctly.

Here's the truth.....The Feds knew he couldnt come out as a full rat (because of his legendary dad doing 50 y/o without snitching)......So they arranged a plea deal....where he didnt have to go to court......one Mafia guy (on some Christian channel on youtube) was forced to plea guilty instead of going to court to see Mike Franzese....And Franzese gave the Feds and NYPD (to the best of my knowledge) insight on how the Mafia work.....And arranged him to talk to college kids on gambling (Feds had a hand in it).

He has already spoken about this many times. He said he spoke to the committee but he never testified in court against to send someone to prison.

@@stretfordender11 Frank Campione. Gerald Gusterman. Tutt (Campione cheffuer). Norby Walters.

Exactly. He can't own it. Whether someone went to jail or not wasn't his call.

@@courtneybrubaker9738 He's street wise.....which is why he lies.......The FBI and him made a plea bargain...where he wouldnt put any made mob guys on stand (knowing his dad was a legend in that life).....and in exchange....he speaks out against gambling...and preaches the word of God!!

Exactly. If someone goes a witness against a guy but that guy still gets off that doesn’t mean the guy didn’t snitch.

Who cares??? Get over it this was forever ago NO ONE CARES and if u really feel that hurt by it u need a freaking hobby

@@tpw9099 It’s not the fact that he ratted. As you say it was years ago and doesn’t really matter now. And when facing the rest of the only life you get in a prison , most people would snitch. Most people with sense. It’s the fact he expects people to believe he didn’t rat is what some people find annoying. Not to mention all the clowns that buy his “I never ratted” hook line and sinker and go around parroting it when they clearly haven’t looked in to it even remotely since it’s here on youtube for the whole world to see. That’s what annoys people.

@@happybee7725 I’ll say it again “WHO CARES ???” Worry about important shit please? Like how our country is going to hell in a hand basket… not about whether or not 40yrs ago someone snitched on about bunch of criminals and today… yes says he didn’t he does say he gave names but duh he also … if u listen??? He has pointed out that the names of these people were already known to the feds, on tape already all he did was talk about his part in the crime admitting what occurred. That’s not ratting, they already had the evidence he admits the guilt. He did not go to them & give up stuff they had no ideas about? Like when Sammy G went and told that V. Gigante was really not insane and was the head of the Genovese family and head of the commission! They needed that info that is something they were having difficulty proving . That is what real ratting is, not admitting something happened they already have on tape! So apparently u don’t have enough info, & u need education and to become So Called annoyed by his comments, I say… go get annoyed at how our president is handing over the country to China N Iran so they can destroy us along with his associates in the administration. Now that annoys me

@@tpw9099 Who cares? You mean other than the 64 thousand that have went out their way to look it up? Plenty of people. Not that he snitched. But a lot of people care that he keeps denying it and expect them to be dumb enough to believe he didn’t do it despite this video being here to prove he did. Just cuz you like riding his pole doesn’t mean everyone else does. Just cuz YOU don’t care doesn’t mean no one else does. Or are you one of those fools that thinks everyone thinks or should think the same as you? It would appear you are. Just cuz you claim you don’t care doesn’t make you a better person than those that do. And I don’t believe you don’t care either. You care enough to go out your way to look up the video then watch it them sit and type out a whole essay about how much you “don’t care”. And if you think people can only care about one thing at a time you’re even less intelligent than I thought from your original comment. Just because you’re incapable of caring about more than one thing at a time doesn’t mean no one else is.

Sammy did the same. I dont know if his words got people jailed

Now it makes sense Sammy got so riled up and interestingly enough, so did Michael. It hit a nerve.

@@courtneybrubaker9738 It did. Brought out the Mobster in Micheal, Sammy did and that's all what Sammy wanted. He wanted to sit down with a fellow mobster and not some reformed motivational Speaker.

@@glenncon2894 good insight Glenn. I think you're right.

He hides behind the letter of the law, not the spirit or intent. He had to live with it. He is smooth. I've liked his style and stories. It did feel off at times. I just wouldn't invest or loan him any of my money or trust.

He did compromise though

And he jacked up in a tissue

Pérsico and his dad were already in jail before he testified, Andrew Russo didn’t go to jail until a couple months ago, who else did he bring up?

@@hamzak2181 yes

Yeah, he's a good guy a preacher now for the gullible Christian followers' LOOL! He only helped the communist Russians steal hundreds of millions of tax dollars and made people pay more money for gas, he stole money from business owners by threatening to kill them and their children, for 20 years, then ratted on all his family, DAD, and friends aka business associates. Michael should help and pay for his crimes by being in prison in a 7 by 11 cell for life and make the world a better safer place to live!!

You can still like the content he makes on youtube. I admit I'm fond of it. But keep in mind that all of these mobsters (Franzese, Sammy the bull, Alite etc) have a vested interest in making themselves out to be honorable people. Listen to them but do your own research and then make your own opinion.
