Ex-Mafia Capo Michael Franzese joins Sean Hannity to reveal how he ran a $10 billion gas tax scam and the shocking reason the FBI targeted his father, Sonny Franzese. From his "blood oath" ceremony to his analysis of modern political corruption, Franzese discusses it all.
In this episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Michael Franzese breaks down the "Business of the Mob". He clarifies the reality of the Mafia's code of silence (Omertà) versus the Hollywood romanticism of The Godfather. Franzese shares never-before-told stories about his father’s alleged affair with Marilyn Monroe, which he claims sparked a personal vendetta from Bobby Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover.
The conversation pivots to the technical side of his $8 million-per-week gas empire and why he ultimately chose to walk away from "the life"—a move that usually ends in death. Finally, as a RICO expert, Franzese provides a chilling comparison between the tactics of the five families and current political investigations.
