    --------
    In this clip, Michael Franzese spoke about being around Colombo family hitman Gregory Scarpa, who was known as "The Grim Reaper" due to his fondness for carrying out hits. Michael then added that the FBI definitely exaggerated that Scarpa killed 120 people, as he pointed out that the Colombo crime family only consisted of 115 people total. He went on to speak about Scarpa becoming an informant and being hired by the FBI to hunt down KKK members in the "Mississippi Burning case."

      Well, if you watched this interview, or any interview of Franzese, he is constantly making the point that the concept of a "mob hitman" is a myth. Some guys kill people because they cant earn, but Scarpa was an earner but did "work" because he enjoyed it. He could have avoided it, for the most part, if he had wanted to but he enjoyed killing people, hence the nickname Grim Reaper.

      Exactly. That's the main point being missed here.

He even took a bullet graze to the eye doing it. Even the FBI was like, "Nah, that's it for him" after abusing their system and wantonly running rackets and killing folks since forever.

    The way he talks... every single time I've seen an interview or video of Michael Franzese speaking, he is always giving you the feeling that he is aware of every single word that comes out of his mouth. The way he said " I can count the guys that I know of that got murdered on the fingers of both hand"- instead of saying he is aware of up to 10 murders and lead the law enforcers to believe that he was a witness to that. His logic and clear mind show why he was such a big earner.

Scarpa wasnt just some mob guy , he was a literal assassin. Part of his grim reaper moniker was that he was a known spook. It is why Scarpa's thing was always tangential and distant to the family, his government ties were a useful liability. all the wetwork he was doing was earning, it gave him cart blanche to kill other guys in the life without fear of the fbi, and they had a symbiotic relationship when it came to information which allowed the mob to feed them bad info and get people arrrested. 3-4 guys were dying everytime persico or orena would try and set up a hit, and it was his crew that was doing the majority of the killing on the persico side, so much so that when Scarpa stayed neutral they threatened to kill one of his crew. Most people knew Scarpa was a rat in some form of the other ( had a clear history of doing dirty work for the government) so he was immune from retaliation because they didnt want the fed heat . Fun Fact the Jimmy that worked under Scarpa is the same Jimmy that drove michael to what was almost his final sit down when they thought he was stealing from them.

      also just speaking factually and realistically Scarpa and his relationship to the FBI was totally corrupt and out of hand., remember his handler got caught up in his mess too. 120 is probably the LOWEST guess because if those numbers were doctored they were lowered not raised which is the opposite of what the FBI normally does.

If all of these people killed as many people as both parties claim, the population in the U.S. would be about 10% smaller, not to mention that it would be bad business on the part of the mafia. When bodies start stacking up, it starts to draw attention, particularly if they aren’t people, “in the life.”
