@@Jay539-i3d I'm wondering the same. People keep saying it's great but it's the same rehashed material over and over again. Same with Sammy the Bull's channel. There are other aspects of their life they could get into but the interviewers and people commenting keep asking the same fucking questions, and getting the same answers, over and over.
Michael was a captain in one of the five families during the most violent and chaotic time in mob history. Obviously he's done work. But the moment he says "Ok yes.. there was this one guy I had to kill back in the 70s.. he owed Persico some money and blah blah blah.." All the FBI has to do is sift through their unsolved case file.. and oh look.. Johnny "Big Nose" Lasagna went missing in 1977 and hmm, informants say he owed Persico money.. and next thing you know Michael is back in prison for life. So you just have to read between the lines.
Michael can not/will not admit he killed guys since he has no immunity. He could be prosecuted for admitting about an unsolved murder. But for people to think he never got his hands dirty, at least once you are crazy.
There are almost 1,000 made guys in New York. Not all of them have killed someone, maybe Michael slipped through without having to. I'm not saying he didn't or that your wrong!! And your absolutely right about Michael's lack of immunity if he did have to kill someone. But he may very well have not don't it....
Any human being with any brain cells know not to admit to something if they have no immunity. A Michael probably slip through the cracks but he probably didn't he's probably had to get his hands dirty a time or two. And if he has I don't want to know especially since he has no immunity. That would be self snitching. And only idiots do that I don't think Michael is an idiot.
@@vrossi6625 he didnt kill anyone, he made a bunch of money..you dont need to kill someone to get made. Obviously, I dont know for sure, no one but he does, I strongly suspect he never killed anyone.
He never came close to getting his hands dirty. But he won't be respected in this "community" unless he convinces you he did. Don't get it twisted. He was an earner, nothing else.
@@historyiwitness5915 That's Sammy talk. Bottom line, unless he had some kind of "Bobby Bacala type deal" which is unlikely, he at the very least took part in a hit.
I think a lot of people overlook the mind-state of someone who has been given an order. They WANT to be a part of that life. They WANT to show the bosses that they are capable. So they WANT to perform, sometimes regardless of the task given. I can only assume it’s similar to an army recruit. He gets deployed and believes that the enemy is a detriment to their country and their people.
Yeah this is what I think is easy to overlook. A lot of times I see people ask how these guys can be such stone cold killers. The more of these mob interviews I see, the more it sounds like a lot of them look at it like the military. They follow orders. They’re protecting that fraternity and that life. Obviously there are guys like demeo who really loved killing. In an interview with jimmy the weasel he talks about how all the guys he killed were scumbags and killers themselves. Not excusing murder, but I can see their mindset when they’re ordered to do a hit.
Most monsters are cowards. I knew retired cops from NYC that were involved with mass arrests when the RICO law was enacted. They said most of them cried like babies when they were arrested. Now there are the stone cold types but they are few and far between.
These questions about "doing work" are always frustrating to me. There can be several different kinds of scenarios where a hit can be ordered. This thing about "what if he's just an associate, can he refuse the order?" is just missing the point. These guys generally get into the life to become made guys. They know that it almost always includes "doing work". These aren't the type of guys who get sensitive about that kind of order.
Not entirely...Michael didn’t get in for himself he got in to help his father ought of prison and take care of his fathers business while he was inside. Quiet a few guys are highly pressured to get in the life by uncles and fathers. They pick you more then you decide to pick them. They know you from the neighborhood. There’s a lot of young guys who didn’t wanna get there hands dirty and there known. One guy even killed himself from all the pressure to join. Now street guys, wise guys, and even rich fellas have introduced themselves from outside the neighborhood as a hang around with intent to get made or atleast in the life for the benefits. They know who’s “capable”. Everyone sorta has a role. There’s drivers, collectors, schemers, bruisers, and hitters. You become valuable in the life when you’ve got something to offer.
Bro we get that, the thing is that many times they may be asked to kill someone close to them. We all know made men were in the life for good, they made an oath and it was against the rules to get out at that point, but that wasn't the case with associates and recruits. Asking if a recruit could refuse a hit and get away with it is a legit question.
He stole 300 mill at least from the feds, and was able to beat em down to 100k, and has yet to repay the total amount AND HE continues to make money from his life story. The man has no shortage of "blessings"
@@senmanzero6493 you can’t be made without commiting a murder. But at that same time they weren’t murdering random joe’s from the block. If you got murdered it was because the guy was caught up in the life and did something he shouldn’t have.

Micheal was one of the biggest earners in mafia history, Sammy was one of the most feared..... you can't compare them, its apples and oranges. Not everyone in the mob has 20 hits under there belt
@@Demarcointuit Im trying to picture what would happen if Michael was working for Scarfo back then making that kind of coin. Scarfo would have probably had him killed and took it over
Man Vlad ! you're droppin some great stuff today! A determination was made by the bosses at the end of the day case fuckin closed. He was proposed by his dad, his dad obviously had the highest respect from his bosses as well as their trust . If the bosses thought for a single second this proposed man was not going to do his/this/the job he's ordered or produce for the family or earned it ? I assure you , no matter how much the bosses loved , trusted and respected his dad they would not even considered it for a single second BECAUSE theyre obviously very aware the books have not been opened in 20 years. . . .think about it logically. You bet your ass he's earned it. The last thing the bosses want is rife within the ranks. That gets things all convoluted, these are not some dumb old men, they seen it all before, they know what happens and what was going to happen, they must have thought /weighed their decision carefully and decided the man was worth the risk . Obviously !
The bottom line was this , they saw him as a leader and whoever was also in line and was looked over Michael beat them out but I believe with all my heart fair and square, in fact he was worth more to the bosses than all othered considered. That's what I think.
Mike has to be viewing this as a paycheck and a pay check only...he’s answering questions hes either bored with or already addressed 10 times. But Vlad wants to know about violence so he’s gonna press on with these questions lol
Those are all mob guys who became informants and entered the witness protection program, they have immunity michael doesn’t, you said clueless murder has no statue of limitations.
Thats cuz sammy already admitted to being a mass murderer back in 97 he doesnt have to give a single f about anything anymore he done time he did wut he did
I get where Sammy is coming from, like I do believe Michael got made cause of his dad, not saying he didn't put in work, but so did the guys that waited 20+ yrs, so I believe Sammy is right that he got made cause of his dad, but I disagree with Sammy about the killings and stuff
So you'd rather be the guy hogtied in the car trunk. Because that's where Michael would be within thirty seconds of conflict with Sammy in the "good old days".
@@historyiwitness5915 Michael would be in no such place. He was one of the biggest earners in mob history. If you fucked with him, you were an absolute dead man walking to the Colombo family. You’re taking away their biggest money asset. No one would be that stupid to try him, including Sammy.
@@BillyBob-ec5ox not sure I disputed that. If anything, I might have said being an earner is the only reason a nebbish like this guy is still alive. Earners frquently live into old age. Well, not Sally Burns.
I would totally love to hangout with Michael Franzese learn more about the mob. Unfortunately all the mob info I will learn will come from the internet or TV...
That’s not true his dad did ten and a half years on the 50 , you think Michael was just washing cars for over 2yrs, he had to make his bones to get made ur name gets passed too all 5 families, they have to agree ur worthy, plenty other recruits who had dads or uncles who were either made capos under boss or bosses Michael is one of many, Michael can’t speak on murders.
Michael himself says he's not glorifying and he's constantly tell people not to get in that type of lifestyle. For many fans it's not making these guys heroes it's intriguing because it's a secret society with traditions a part of life we don't know. Kind of like any other secret society people remain entertained by it.
Yeah or he could've become a successful entrepreneur/ businessman and hired good lawyers to help his Dad out. Not all of them but a lot of the mob guys, cartel members and gang members and drug dealers see legal, legitimate 9 to 5 jobs as being a waste of time and many of them think that people who do 9 to 5 jobs are suckers. But there are other legal ways that you can make a living if you don't want to work an ordinary job and work for someone else( and it was the same situation back when he became a made man but now, there are definitely even more avenues and opportunities for people to be self-employed businessmen and women and entrepreneurs).
One funny thing I’ve noticed it that the same people complain about vlad every time. What’s the point? Every time you watch he gets paid. Good for vlad. Trolls are consistent income. See y’all on the next clip
Fact is without his father's name an his friends looking out he wouldn't have gotten to the level he did especially his younger days sn i glad Michael found a better way. An Michael may or may not have any wacked hopefully ge never had to but the fact is when he was young he definitely hurt a few people an during the gas business time he definitely order hes crew to beat up bat up an threatened a lot of people he obviously doesn't like to talk about it i understand. Love the show
It is possible to refuse a hit and still live. Just tell them that you'll do it and in the meantime tell your family to start packing so you can move away and never come back. FBI agent Joseph pistone said plenty of mob guys did that when he was working undercover in the mob.
Micheal has already talked about this. He absolutely did not kill anyone for his bosses. He was a money man, they are not going to send a money maker out to do something that can stop the flow of money. They have other members that don’t necessarily bring in loads of money that can do the dirty work. It’s common sense.
No question about that. But it’s extremely likely that he was involved in at least a few hits during the period where you have to prove yourself. It’s an almost guarantee. Mike knows that everyone knows that, but of course he’s not gonna say it.
@@BillyBob-ec5ox I doubt it, one could argue that before members of the mob are officially made they have already somewhat proved themselves. What I mean is before you become a made member your an associate right ? People are still putting in work and paying tribute as an associate . I’m almost certain they knew of his money making abilities early on. But hey what the hell do I know I just make high quality t-shirts for a living.
@@ugh9176 murder is the only way a dummie can prove themselves. Money makers prove themselves by making money. Why would you risk that with giving them a task to commit murder ?
@@agnsprinting I'm sorry but you don't know what you're talking about. To become a made man, you need to carry out a hit, regardless of how much money you bring in. So yes, Michael almost certainly did carry out a hit. Why else do you think he shy's away from talking about it so much?
Sammy was just trying to win the argument. I mean Michael even said he pops gave the ok to have a hit on his own son. How much more ruthless can that get?
Sammy the bull had a black short sleeved tee and a silver necklace. Michael did this interview with a black short sleeved black tee and a silver necklace.
I could never get bored of watching Michaels interviews
Same here. He's not a showboat. He's practical and factual.
How can you actually not get bored he is saying the 10 same stories in pretty much every interview for 20 years now.

He was a money man, they are not going to send a money maker out to do something that can stop the flow of money. They have other members that don’t necessarily bring in loads of money that can do the dirty work. It’s common sense.
No question about that. But it’s extremely likely that he was involved in at least a few hits during the period where you have to prove yourself. It’s an almost guarantee. Mike knows that everyone knows that, but of course he’s not gonna say it.
@@BillyBob-ec5ox I doubt it, one could argue that before members of the mob are officially made they have already somewhat proved themselves. What I mean is before you become a made member your an associate right ? People are still putting in work and paying tribute as an associate . I’m almost certain they knew of his money making abilities early on. But hey what the hell do I know I just make high quality t-shirts for a living.
Committing a murder on behalf of the family is literally a prerequisite for becoming a made man.
@@ugh9176 murder is the only way a dummie can prove themselves. Money makers prove themselves by making money. Why would you risk that with giving them a task to commit murder ?
@@agnsprinting I'm sorry but you don't know what you're talking about. To become a made man, you need to carry out a hit, regardless of how much money you bring in. So yes, Michael almost certainly did carry out a hit. Why else do you think he shy's away from talking about it so much?
Never refused an order to get your fucking shinebox
Tommy DelGiorno from Philly refuse a hit from Nicky scarfo on Joey Merlino. But then have to go into the witness protection.
Vlad doesn't comprehend that the recruit is trying to formally join a criminal organization so doing whatever it takes to join is not far fetched.
It's just like in the military.
People know they ain't sign up to sell cookies. You don't join the Mafia thinking that you will never kill anyone. It's part of the job description.
The fact he went against the mob and is famous talking about the life is a example why you should choose years over blood lol
Glad your voice is brainwashing me💯💀🤣🎯
It's not brain washed, it's if you're affiliated then you gotta do it, or you're out.
Yeah, "out" of this world and into the next.
Actually the person you’re told to kill is more often than not some u kno bcuz u can get closest to him without his guard being up
Gotti brought his sons in an made him a boss at 35.. probably the youngest boss besides joe bonnano in L.C.N history
Ayyyyyyye numero uno
Michael "my father" Franzese
They wouldn’t be happy
Sammy " this guy never cracked an egg"
still have no clue how getting into the same organisation that got his dad sent to prison would help get him out
Just check Jasper Campise and John Gattuso
Question for Michael. Dd he know Joe Dragna? And Frank Desimone?
He was to young. My age . But family history. Would be a great story.
Sammy was just trying to win the argument. I mean Michael even said he pops gave the ok to have a hit on his own son. How much more ruthless can that get?
Sammy the bull had a black short sleeved tee and a silver necklace.
Michael did this interview with a black short sleeved black tee and a silver necklace.
So tired of interviewers beating around the bush asking Mike if he killed somebody
it seems the me the word they should be using is Murder not 'kill'.
Yeah i wasn't sure before but now 85% positive he did wack somebody
If Mike Fran told me my own mama had a hit out on me, I would believe him. I trust Mike.
Man ! Vlad is really milking these ad revenues posting 4 minutes clips
A order isn't a request Vlad. 😅
At least Vlad didn't ask Michael about SixNine yet again.
