Michael Franzese was a high-ranking mobster in the Colombo Crime Family, one of the big five families of the New York Mafia. His father was a hit man with dozens of kills.
Michael was making millions of dollars a week for the mob in a complicated gas tax fraud scheme across four different states. 
At 26, the family made him a Capo with dozens of mobsters underneath him and an illegal sports gambling network worth tens-of-millions of dollars that had players, coaches and league officials all betting with the mob. 
Michael Franzese joined us on CrimeWaves Podcast for the University of New Haven 2nd Annual Sports Integrity Presentation.
