🍷 Have you tried my wine yet?: https://franzesewine.com/ 💪🏼 Join Franzese Family: https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ 🎞️ Watch Full Interview Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjoPjowKBa4 I sat down with Mike Thurston from the UK for one of the deepest mob interviews I've ever done. We went places I rarely talk about - from how i handled the stress of that life, to how I built a basement counting room in a bank to handle millions in cash, why Roy DeMeo was a serial k*ller the mob had to eliminate, and what it was really like running 350 gas stations while dodging the feds. I break down the difference between John Gotti types who love cameras versus Carlo Gambino who ran the biggest family from the shadows. Plus, I reveal why the feds put me through "diesel therapy" for 8 months and kept me in solitary for 3 years when I wouldn't cooperate. This guy flew all the way from England to ask the questions others won't. If you've been wanting real mob stories, this is as raw as it gets.
