Michael Franzese is like a walking encyclopedia of the Mob so naturally when the NBA betting scandal broke, I checked out his video channel for inside information on this since he has been there, done that. Although Franzese usually comes across as a very friendly guy, while describing how he used to convince players to shave points on games, his inner scary Mob boss came out. There is no better source of information than his channel on this scandal so watch Michael give the detailed information on sports betting and Mob involvement at the link below.

PING!
Very interesting. Hollywood central casting couldn’t make up a character.
Michael Franzese came to my church a few years ago promoting his new book.
My lead pastor interviewed him for about an hour about his mafia life and how he later came to Jesus.
Even though we were sitting 30 rows back in the worship center and he has completely changed his life, he still came off as a scary dude......you could tell by his demeanor he’s seen very bad things most people never will.
and he has completely changed his life
///////
are you free to say how he changed your life?
Just before he whacks you Michael Franzese will ask “Do you believe in Jesus?”....
