--------------
In this clip, Michael Franzese discussed taking a plea deal back in 1986 which sent him to prison on a 10-year bid. This was Franzese first time in prison and he described what that experience was like. He explained how being a made man gave him a certain type of clout with his fellow inmates but did very little for the overarching power structure of the prison (C.O.s, warden, etc.).
Later in the clip, Michael Franzese breaks down how the RICO act began sending guys away for decades and how made men began turning into informants as a result.

This guy was a REAL gangster, yet we haven't heard not one cuss word in his interviews, and he telling enough info to keep you interested but yet maintaining his integrity by not talking too much. Mike proves that there's a difference between playing hard and being hard.
This ain't a g
G don't give the game up
@@bbrochesterny7194 plenty OG's done spoke on the game when their time was up. Just reflecting on it, not like you talkin bout everything while its goin on
@@luckycarter536 he knows he's doing wrong
Only a true street g knows the real from the wrong
I agree bro. These other dingbats have the title gangster purely because of an image and the way they talk.
@@TexasAlabamaBoi205 he's still revealing game
Damn I can listen to him talk for hours.
Jay Privacy the problem is Vlad ends up talking for hours
ruclips.net/video/5U-yqm9H_Sg/видео.html this is the better interview
Jay Privacy same here
That’s exactly what the FBI said 😂
@@dakingataleedo lol
I can't get over how calm he always seems. I'm sure that served him well in "the life."
He is og
He talked about the 'sit downs' where they already had the plastic on the floor. One mistake and you are done. I am sure that was good experience on how to articulate yourself and not put your foot in your own mouth.
@@stevenbrown6956 facts
I think that life makes you calm. You've seen it all. Nothing surprises you no more.
I like this guy, he is a good dude, a good fella
your a funny guy
Gary Ordus what you say? 😂😂😂😂
mike lol facts
@@garyordus2383 funny how? 🤡 Is he a clown, or something???
Aww i see what you did there
This guy has a very calm demeanor.
Most killers are
The calm ones are the most dangerous...
Baffour ComMo Second most dangerous. Most dangerous are those who feel that they got something to prove, and they’ll do anything to prove it.
Mike looks great for 67 👍
damn he’s 67 thats crazy
He look like he in his late 40s lol
I wouldnt be surprised if they killed him and hes a gen 2 clone.
look at the old videos of him in the 70’s. he was the youngest skinniest mob guy. was barely intimidating if you didn’t know who he was backed by
I guess so
Amazing how his eyes just never, ever waver... cold as ice.
I like how he say a lot but didn’t tell anything important
Daryl Batie that’s how the mob moves
Thats how he got out of doin hella time he talks alot but dosent really tell anything
he a snitch bro is all
He a 🐁 bruh
Leo Polo Just A Trucker
He’s never snitched or did anything that got anyone in trouble or killed. There’s a reason he’s still alive today, he’s anything but a snitch/rat.
Michael Franzese: 'correct'
Michaels smooth at avoiding any implications or answers
Glad to see Officer Vlad reporting for duty
Franzese became a fed informer in 86..... he testified against Frank Campione..... he testified against Norby Walters .. in 92 he testified to the Senate about the mob's role in boxing... these are snitch moves.
Source?
Vlad gets so excited when saying “Made men” 😂😂
Angel Castillo fr dog 😂
He took a plea deal which was already known and admitted to his own wrong doings, he never ratted on anyone or implicated anyone in any of his crimes and took full responsibility for his own stuff. That's not a rat, what it does is save the feds a lot of money and time which is why plea deals exist not only for snitches.
Check me out
You don't have to snitch to get a plea deal. That's something the prosecutor will offer you to save time. Especially if there are alot of defendants. Do you just believe anything people tell you? Even when you can easily look up the truth?
@@rick_4760 You just repeated what I said lol, I said you don't have to snitch to get a plea deal. A plea deal saves the prosecutors time and money and the hassle. I'm agreeing with you lol
exactly -- a lot of the people in the comments are stupid. admitting to your crime doesn't mean you implicate someone else.
@@Amidat you guys are conflating taking a plea and informing. He informed AND took a plea. On the street, informing on others is ratting. No two ways to look at it. It's all over pacer and Google scholar. Not to mention I know per the street hes considered a rat! You guys like him so you justify believing he didnt put at least 2 people in jail. One was innocent and a janitor! Hor or why would you argue that!? It doesn't mean you cant like the guy, but he did rat to get out of trouble
7:08 Let that be a lesson to you youngstas out there, this is not a game of long jeopardy... expect the fold
Good philosophy 😲
Izzie Farreal 100%
Vlad: So you get out and you continue doing crime?
Mike: 🤷🏻♂️
“Background information “ gotcha
Nah this guy ain't no rat I don't feel it or get those vibes from him at all, what he's saying makes sense no need to go in hard detail at all 💯.
Same here - Intelligent man (He played the game very smartly).
Fym he straight rat on his crew and own father. “ I don’t feel those vibes from him” stfu you sound stupid af🤦♂️
@@joey2765 you're gay shut up
He's got flaws in his story
Recksz N Kingz Activities #RKA T.V. U aint from the streets so how would u know
There should be a movie made of this man
Uhhh, is that a joke?😂😂
Keep up the classic interview Vlad
They allowed these guys free reign to commit crime for decades. It's interesting to hear the shock of the party being over.
3737raider crazy isn’t it? when you learn about people like greg scarpa (mob guy turned FBI informant allowed to kill whoever he wanted) you realize the game was rigged all along
3737raider nobody let anybody do anything. If your next door neighbor gets killed in the night and you don’t hear it, but you find out about it later, are you not in shocked?
They owned a lot of politicians and law enforcement - that's why... That's the style they brought over from Sicily/Italy.
The government stole there tactics
The mafia still exists as long as there is illegal gambling the mafia will always exist.
Get Shaun Atwood to do an interview, if people like this one, I think they might like his interviews too (he was on Valuentainment channel before just like Michael Franzese)
Idk if he’s allowed back in the US
Need to get him on Ungle Joeys podcast
He looks like Liam Neeson in the thumbnail 😆
OhHey Wessuhhh you mean Liam Neeson as Rha's al Ghul in Batman Begins. Yep, noticed it too
OhHey Wessuhhh soo funny 😒
Whoever that is lol. I'm over here in Georgia from New York trying to sell my Benz for a couple thousands and these guys making millions daily.
Ray Rocco thank you!
no. give me your ig tho
I wanna see his life story in a movie or does he have a book
Ted R gta
@@jonathanmpdemon4821 yeah I've heard Michael de Santa is somewhat based off of franzese life
These are good questions. Very interesting
When asked about one of his counted Michael says, “I don’t even remember, you know?” Lmao
Great content Vlad! But it would be nice seeing a different backgrounds in your interviews. Something new and fresh!
I was gonna try 2 wait & watch the whole interview @ once but i jjust couldn't do it lol . ive.seen this guy in SEVERAL docs
He's a great speaker and handsome tooo
Franzese is incorrect about Goodfellas in prison. At Lewisburg (federal prison) most of them lived in 'H' block. They ate steaks, various Italian foods, seafood, etc. Whiskey was brought in in 35 gallon milk jugs. A lot of that stuff was brought into the block by corrupt guards.
No one was assigned to 'H' block unless the mob guys agreed to it. So the cellblock was composed of made guys and trusted associates.
I know all this because I was there. I worked in the kitchen, and I sold them eggs and other foods. Not once was I ever searched by the guards when I was making deliveries to 'H' block. That''s just the way it was.
They were as good as their word, and I had a tidy sum of money when I got released. I was not an associate, just some guy trying to get by in a bad situation.
He cooperated.
So you told but didn't tell.
@Boondock Saint ok
They created the RICO act because my crew was becoming too powerful so I switched to comedy - TK Kirkland
This has the perfect voice for narating a mob movie.
So interviewer asks a question.. dude answers it to the fullest and then the interview literally repeats back everything he just said in full like dude didn’t just say that WTFFFF 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Watch the Valuetainment interview instead, Patrick Bet-David a much better interviewer ruclips.net/video/5U-yqm9H_Sg/видео.html
Still so handsome ,no where near his age does he looks...just like his Daddy. I love hearing Mike speak, always so very intriguing.
He’s the step son of Sonny Franzese. Not his his biological father. Read his autobiography.
@@italiancapo7 Whatever, bottom line of my statement still stands. Reasoning ,the whole point of my statement stands, regardless, biological or not. Don't you have anything better to do with your time then correct a casual statement that holds no importance what so ever. 🙄
Mike is smooth as ice
Bout time Vlad interviewed a real one
His dad is the real gangster
He was a real gangster. Bro,he was a fucking Capo. He made the list of top earners in mafia history. I mean yall love goodfellas, an me too, it's literally my favourite film. But this guy was higher up the chain than Liotta, De niro and Pesci's character. Not one of those were even made men, none of them. This guy was absolutely the real deal.
@Galva Tron yup. That he was Bro
It's a yes or no question @4:05....when someone start with all the long drawn out, you cooperated......by the way.... they all cooperated, aka rat, aka snitch whatever you want to call it.
No it's not 😂😂😂😂, how is that a yes or no question. People like you who don't care about context are the dumbest people on earth. His explanation made sense, he didn't implicate anyone , a snitch is a teller, you tell on your homeboy or colleague in crime. He took a plea deal he told on himself mentioning no one else. He didn't testify and he got his associate off the hook. They clearly took it out on him by getting him locked up on bs. Now take a look at tekashi, now that nigga is a snitch.
king he's a kid and probably trolling
@@kingS-sl9wj No it is a yes or no question. And Im someone who focuses on context and circumstances., but on the street it doesnt matter wether you testified or not. He gave information, names of made guys, thats a death sentence. These guys dont care if you didnt actually testified. Your dead, you have to live on the run. And Michael did testify against Norby walter and other! So it is yes or no, in this case!
@@rick_4760 he didn't give the names of made guys he LITERALLY said, that was the reason he was thrown back in. Personally I don't like to act like I know exactly what happened since I wasn't involve nor should you. But based off what he said and based of what was reported to have happened, based off the fact that he is still alive and was left alone for years. This all indicates he didn't cross the fatal line. He still talks to his dad regularly the same man who authorised a hit on him and maintains his gangster principles till this day, do u think they would have a relationship if he actually gave away the names of made men. Moreover the same guy he was subpoenaed to talk against was freed after he attended, if he didn't snitch on his associate then that's good enough supporting evidence I need to assume he didn't snitch.
@@rick_4760 if you focus on context and circumstance than it ISN'T a yes or no question to you.
You see I told Michael he would of had lost this last trial because all of his associates were line up to testify against him....Postal Inspector/ Mr.Tk Kirkland
Finally, A Creative 1 😂😂😂
Yo vlad you stay bringing the internet gangsters and mobsters out to your videos lmao
"I told Vlad to never actually research who it is that he'll be interviewing".
~ TK Kirkland
That explains why he's a shit interviewer, thanks :-)
I think he just wants the common man approach for his audience not the I have researched you for months and want a relaxed chat to feel like an interrogation route. Pretty creepy if he knows too much.
I counterfeited the money.
-TK
Vlad really got a gift for the obvious.
I get so triggered because of that
He rlly got this boss swagga not like these rappers bro
This is a man from movies
dj vlad the detective man
Most ppl will snitch if the looking at 30 or more years
i know i would
Most people... including you
Let's see ,snitch and live with the gilt or spend 30 years never touching a women again..hmmmm
@Google User 😁
When you grow up in that life you know what that entails, jail is part of it. Keeping your mouth shut is another. His father never did. He knew the life. They're not just anyone.Hes not just anyone
Great interview...with insightful questions.
P.s could someone tell me, why there are always comments referring to TK Kirkland ? I don’t get it.
Peace from the UK.
Tk just act like he got a hand in everything to the point where ppl leave these comments
Watch his Vlad interviews in order, he's funny
Tk Kirkland lead you to ask that question....the guy is good hahaha
TK is a know it all... at the very least, he gives off a vibe like he's helped everybody. In actuality, he's a fucking thief. Tried to steal Eddie Murphy's watch out his house once.
FM BXB thanks for saying that , I’ve been wondering the same thing with all these tk comments lol
Everybody snitches in the end and the ones who say they don't snitch the most
teddy two guns not everybody...but it’s like 90%
Lil Kim made me a Made Man within the Junior Mafia family - TK Kirkland

Vlad got a michael franzese interview ??!!he the feds hahaha
One of your best Vlad
Well articulated. Experience

Shout out to all the wanna be mobsters and investigators in these comments lol
I feel like we are kids playing cops and robbers.
Mike is a liar . Really listen...
Thanks u
He's giving game away
He makes people play gangster
He's giving all the jewels up
He's a dry snitch
Like who?
Yo vlad is trying to get everyone to say snitching isn’t bad
Snitching ain't bad, it's good. We're talking about Criminals here, they have no honor. Honor is wasted on a Criminal. These Mob guys are liars, cheats, killers, rapists and all around degenerates. Every mob member is looking out for number one. Every criminal only cares about themselves. You have to be a self centered, egotistical douchebag to even think about becoming a criminal. So the mob and any other street gang is full of douchebags like this and some how people thing these guys are going to become honest citizens when they are looking at hundreds of years in the pen. Get the hell out of here with that shit. The mob has along history of killing their friends who they think might snitch. Why is that if that oath they take actually meant something? They kill their own kind because they know the type of members they have in their group. They know they're all full of bullshit and bravado. They know that oath they take don't mean shit. You want criminals not to snitch, just kill family members until they shut the fuck up. The only thing criminals understand is criminal behavior. Oath's are for idiots, doesn't matter if it's the military or the mob, oaths are just propaganda tools for the weak minded and the young. People who buy into it fully usually end up dead. I respect this guy cause he played the game, he didn't let the game play him. He did what he needed to do to keep his freedom, to breath fresh air and have his family around him. The dumbasses who bought into the oath are either dead or in jail. In life try to be the smart guy, not the dumb guy end of story.
It's like his mission in life at this point
@@stellarhyme3 nah thats just what you see on tv
WITLESSMASS wow.. regardless of there actions, to put the responsibility of an upbringing on a person is pretty dirty. This guys a rat but his dad was straight off the boat from Naples. I’m sure criminal career was not his first choice. And if you know anything about this guy he was premed before his dad went to jail and he had to provide for his family. Not an excuse, but a person isnt responsible for there circumstance
Boss J Desano Yeah I don’t gotta figure out why you don’t understand the idiocy of that statement but rest assured what you just said is ridiculous. If you swapped bodies with someone, you would be them. It’s literally that simple. If I gave you the chance identical circumstances and genetics as this guy Michael, you would do every single thing he did and thats a fact. You can’t take credit for having a different experience when you didn’t create the circumstances that put you there. Criticize anyone’s actions sure. But to have like anger towards a criminal as a person? That just means you don’t understand causality. You didn’t pick your parents, nor the environment you grew up in.
"I actually did time with both Michael & his dad" - TK Kirkland
only reason most of them snitched is because new laws were coming up with foot ball numbers. most of these guys didnt have millions in the bank to hire a good lawyer to get them out.
Victor McIntosh the reason they snitched was because they rats 🐀 piece of shits .. everything thing else is fuckery
true. rico law and donnie brasco absolutely crippled the mob at the time.
Great interview
I would love to go see Michael speak.
Crazy
His dad,as of April 29 2019 is 102. Wow 😲
best interview since MC Search.
I’d imagine in his earlier years, he could have just about whatever women he wanted. He looks solid for being 67 years old, must take after his father.
I believe him when he says he only gave background information look how hes talking im the interview seems like a lot of details but its really not and he never says any names or anything
I don't get this tj Kirkland stuff, is there a video I should watch lol
Lloyd James
TK Kirkland is a comedian and a Vlad guest who helped many people on there path to success but it wasn’t known until he spoke about it on Vladtv.
Now he has become a Vladtv legend and everyone has an untold TK Kirkland (story) jokes about who he helped on their path to success!
@@a-tre8798 thanks for that, I'll give them a watch
Legend has it T.K paid lloyd James rent 🤣🤣
I Love this big Capo mr. Franzese
This guy is Michael from GTA 5
Facts 😅👊💯
Wow I’d love to meet a man like Michael Franzese 💕💕👨🏻👩🏼💕💕
Bimbo.
F Stanz thanks 😍
Ths guy is a straight OG
3:36 I used rent on the street down from where these guys always hung out.
Made Men still don't usually flip. A lot of them still take plea deals... Even when Vlad asked, Made Men? Michael hesitated because he knows an associate will flip more than likely. He was more associates flipping.
Marcus Young wait what do you mean? Flip on who? Michael? Didn’t he already serve his time? Sorry I’m just confused by your comment can you explain please?
@House of Savoy he told www.vanityfair.com/news/1991/02/john-gotti-joe-columbo-fbi-investigation-witness?verso=true
A very clever man
Genuine AF. The real deal.
awesome dude
A true wiseguy
Reason why I don’t trust anyone and consider people my friends
Vlad over here making movies 🔥🔥🔥
More of this!!!!
No matter how you cut it he basically snitched he gave up some type of information I don’t care if you didn’t Tell on any made men he still told on someone and was working with them people he just said it his self
Pretty Ahki It doesn’t matter at the same time he still said he gave some type of information and this is what he said I’m pretty sure the cops have a different story
Ain’t no one trying to do 100 plus years
AL Sharpton and everybody else snitch but not him, Lol
He testified against norby walters and a janitor, people who weren't i. The life, thats even worse to throw them under the bus. MF phrases everything to make himself the good guy and younger people just believe it. He gave names of made men and intel. Thats just as bad if not worse than testifying hes an informant.
Heres the youtube tripple og to tell us he knows who snitching and who aint lmao this guy be dead as a fuckin door knob if he snitched
vlad gettng interviews with mafia bosses he made it at the pinnacle
Tk:you know what's crazy I actually was in on the gasoline scheme but my guy didnt rat and I was......
VLAD: wait wait you were working wit the mob?
Tk:well obviously I can say something now cause of stature of limitations but I put up the money for la Costa nostra
You are a genius!!!!
trabucks 😆😁😂 Facts
TK was El Chapo's plug
Everyone snitched why else would he be out right now
Gengi 615 only reason this guy is alive is because his father paid off the other mob families. He Is a blessed man! May Christ have his heart now. If not then he a fool ! lol
End of the day it's a business. He was able to buy his way out
Wrong wrong wrong ... He a stand up guy never snitched ever
@Father Lion Nope wrong again
Exactly
You’re gonna like this guy , he’s Alright. He’s a goodfella, he’s one of us.
You get it?
“From what I heard....”
Yea he told. The facts he didnt outright say no i had to do my homework especially if he braggin bout what he did he should brag about how he hold on his UNCLE and HIS OWN FATHER put a hit on him.
I mean they are all pieces of shit from the get go, their misplaced sense of honor can;t cover for that, I'm not sure why I should respect the ones who uphold omerta more than the others.
NO SNITCHING!
You would be the first person to snitch if they gave you 100yrs😂
god dammn aye check out my
Page bro
He look like Liam Neeson 🤣
This guy is the truth
whole interview is great but you can't help and laugh when Vlad asks cooking Italian food like in the movie lol (absolute non sense) quick draw Mcgraw over there lol jesus lmao with that momment
He told
i took a plea in ibiza
Dead eyes. Still fleecing! Good chat tho
Those who accuse mike of being a rat have no idea what they're talking about. View a few more interviews other than just vlad. Difinitive guid to the mob, valuetainment and his christian inspirationals are worth watching. This interview just barely scrarches the surface. Hes no longer in the life and omerta doesnt relate to him anymore, yet his story in all the interviews hes given remain consistent. Former federal officers and district attornies also said mike never cooperated. He told them how the mob operates (they already know how it operates), but thats all they got. Mike stated the obvious and nothing more. Remember theres a book out regarding his departure (for those who are not allergic to books). But people insist on calling him a rat. Ignorance is bliss😔
luciano he gave names, he told lmao.
He basically just tried to sugar coat him snitching in the end 😂
That's not snitching lol that's a plea deal... Snitching is giving up other people and implicating others in your crimes. He only admitted to his wrong doings which saved the feds time and money.
@Monk8990 He said he gave a rough idea of how the mob works and tried to play it off like he's kinda helping. It's like being asked how does a bank robbery happen and the robber saying usually robbers plan in advance and prepare this and that but now even thinking about it damn that does sound like snitching LOOL you might be right
Haks Hustle sorry bro. All your group members get 100 plus and u get 8? Lol that doesn’t happen unless u squeal bruh sorry
@@freshmenleaguebully2078 Different cases and charges bro. They made examples of the others for homicide charges which is why he thought they'd do the same to him like they did to his father despite his father beating all previous fed charges when they can finally get him on one they over-sentenced him for missing him all the years before. He took a plea deal and if he ratted on his pairs it would be public information, the only case that I'm aware of him being apart of was the NBA scandal thing, however, I think if you help give greater insight to the life you live to the feds (which is what he said he did) without implicating anyone or saying any names, you can be seen as a rat as it can indirectly help them convict others.
Haks Hustle he gave names too....he snitched you guys just in denial cuz you look up to this rat😂
He ain't snitch on Tony soprano!
This is the difference with a real gangster and the fakes. Notice how he says “that’s what they said I died” he didn’t go with vlad and admit to shit
Ay he was in goodfellas, he was a FUNNY GUY
