Michael Franzese on Joining Mafia, Stealing Millions, John Gotti, Michael Jordan (Full Interview)

They knew everything because there are cameras all over the streets, yes, dad's fingerprint on a license plate. I mean, yeah, it's amazing, I mean, you, you, how you commit a crime today and don't get caught. I don't really know and the guy who killed him wasn't even related to my fear, he was a guy I guess he liked. a girl who was dating him and that's the story, there's more if there is, we'll find out, but the guy seems a little crazy to me from what I'm reading and what I've heard, you know, right? Whitey Bulger ends up being murdered I guess it's his first day in the general population.

I'll be honest with you. I don't know how that happened because I'll tell you, I'll tell you a quick story. Henry Hill was in separation. I, who am separated from many kids, he was in the witness protection program, but he was in prison. Well, by mistake, they put it on Terminal Island, in the general population, where I was and we connected there, now there was a you know. There was a shooting, I mean, against Henry. If any of us found him, we were supposed to get him out, so by mistake they put him in the same prison where I was in the general population when he was in separation, so the government makes mistakes.

Sometimes I firmly believe that they made a mistake with Whitey, so that was, yes, it happens, but it was a fatal mistake, obviously, how do you put it there? Two guys, one known snitch. You know, we have people in every prison. You almost know how. You put him there, Rex, I guess they cut out his tongue or his eyes, or yeah, you know, okay, so when Henry Hill, who is he, you know the Goodfellas character, you know the main character, he ends up turning on everyone, yeah , and goes into witness protection, yes. later, but you were actually with him in prison at one point, yeah, and as soon as he saw me, he put up the NEP seat, put himself in alternative active custody, right, we were supposed to kill him in that situation, well , word got out if I saw Henry, we know what he did, yeah, where I was supposed to take him, even though I wasn't part of it, I wasn't telling your family, no, but you know, I mean, I knew very Paulie well, I know Jimmy Burke, Emanuel, those guys well. so you're expected to do something, you know, you can't say he's here and we're just going to be friends with him, you know, okay, so would you have tried to kill him if you had the chance?

No, no, no, that wasn't like that. Not yours, and I knew Henry pretty well too, you know, so no, I mean, when I saw him I was like, man, what is he doing here? You know, I went back to my cell. I'll tell you what happened. The lieutenant called me for an An hour later they called me to the lieutenant's office and he told me Mike, what happened today in the yard. I told him what are you talking about. This is Mike, who did you see in the yard? I told him I didn't see anyone, but he said, Mike, you.

I have to be honest with me because we would send you out of here now if Terminal Island was an hour from my house. I was receiving visitors. What do you mean you're sending me? I said, hey, you know, it's okay. I saw Henry. He said send him, don't exclude me, okay, peace eats a lieutenant like me, luckily, so they sent him, so Henry Hills is still around no, he's dead, oh, he's dead, yeah, okay, he lived here for a long time, but he's dead, okay, did he stay in PC or not, I mean stay protective in witness protection or not, when he got out he kept getting in trouble so they kicked him out of the show, That's why I understand that Henry is a poor soul that he was using, yes.

Yeah, crazy life, you know, and I always say this in today's society, man, there are so many ways to make money legally, yeah, you know, with Uber, you know? - uh - being a social media influencer - doing whatever you do music on your own. your own business there are plenty of ways to do it that don't involve prison time it doesn't involve any murderers or shootings or stabbings Okay you know that and honestly that's always the best approach for you I totally agree I discourage anyone from life in the street Yes, without a doubt, Oh Michael, I appreciate you telling your story, thank you until next time, okay, peace.
