  • At the start of the year, we at VladTV are taking the time to look back on our most-viewed interview of all-time, which is with former mobster Michael Franzese. In the 2019 sit-down, Michael reflected on his time involved in the mob, including how his family history led to his involvement. Michael also detailed his high-profile life, as he was making $10 million a week at one time, and he went on to speak about his tension with infamous mobster John Gotti. From there, Michael spoke about becoming of the top mafia earners of all-time, which was highlighted by Forbes. To hear more, including Michael speaking about doing time in prison, quitting the mafia, and his family going after him, hit the full interview above.

    Slightly disingenuous of Michael to say he 'created' the gas-tax scheme, some Russian Jewish mobsters started it and he got in on it early and built it up w his Cosa Nostra connections. He was instrumental in making it into what it became but he did not make the idea/initiate the scheme.
    Still think he's a super interesting guy though and is one of the most interesting mobsters still around, I always enjoy listening to his stories. One thing to his credit is even if I've heard the same story several times he's always consistent with the details so I'm much more inclined to think they're true.

    Michael had a dark past, but years of a 'made man' and privilege got him prison time. In a world of Mafia where men are arrogant, egotists and narcissistic it's an end to destruction. He has managed to stay humble and most importantly he loves God. Like his content and mix of interviews on his own channel, Michael has been honest about his past, and now his present has been more visible his changed life in Jesus.

    Tbh, all these mob genre RUclips 'content creators', and i mean all of them, should thank Vlad for assisting any successes their channels have had. Basically this interview is what kick started all the buzz and interest on RUclips about mob related podcasts and/or channels. Dont wanna inflate Vlad's ego too much but facts are facts. Its nuts if u were to compare how many mob related channels and views there was prior to this interview and then not even a full year after. And ontop Vlad brought some lesser known mob guys on and gave those guys exposure to help them grow their channels and make that genre even more popular. Dont know exactly if Vlad paid these other guys to interview them or not, but thinking of it they hit a small gold mine, especially that these guys weren't mainstream artists, entertainers etc etc, because of Vlad they probably got a few bucks for doing their interview and a huge audience when they were basically nobodies. Now they all make a living cuz of it with a platform and followers. Vlad u gotta stop saying u solved the 2pac murder and instead praise and credit yourself for what i just stated. Cuz the latter u definitely had a tremendous part in creating willing or unwillingly for that matter

But yes you're right that cuz of PBD doing it first, which PBD even said it was a last min interview that almost never happened thst Michael interview, Vlad went on to start getting into the mob interviews
