58:50Now PlayingMichael Franzese's message at the CBMC Metro Prayer Breakfast in Oklahoma City on April 17, 2019.
Michael Franzese grew up as the son of a notorious Underboss of New York’s violent and feared Colombo crime family. At the age of 35, Fortune Magazine listed Michael among the “Fifty Most Wealthy and Powerful Mafia Bosses” and one of the biggest mob money-earners since Al Capone. Avoiding traditional mob domains, Michael masterminded brilliant scams on the edge of the legitimate business world. From auto dealerships and union kickbacks, to financial services and the sports and entertainment industries, to a multi- million dollar gasoline tax scheme, he earned millions in cash every week at his peak.
In 1985, Michael was indicted on 14 counts of racketeering, counterfeiting and extortion. In 1986, he pleaded guilty to two counts and was sentenced to ten years in federal prison. While in prison, he became a Christian and now spends his life sharing Christ’s redemptive story with corporate executives, professional and student athletes, at-risk youth, prisoners and anyone seeking the inspiration to beat the odds and make positive changes in their life.
