It makes sense if you read his book. He talked about how many guys, after they got made were like Chris on the Sopranos. Getting dressed up, strutting around like a peacock, waiting on everyone to kiss their asses.

Franzese said that after he got made, he didnt really feel any different. He just went to work, like a regular day. He said it was basically the same after he made capo. That as far as his day to day, he was already functioning as a capo.

I think it might be a bigger deal for us guys, then someone in the life who was a capable mobster.

Here he goes again. He's saying it was 1975. He's saying Persico was in prison, Tom dibella was acting boss and now he says Gerry Lang was Underboss when he was made. Andy Russo was his Capo. In his book he says the UB position was vacant.

It's not that important if he can't remember the year.

In his latest video, Michael Franzese says he is likely to do a podcast with Rudy Giuliani soon. It should be interesting.

He misspoke saying 40 years ago. He didn’t ‘admit’ anything. Total overreaction. Maybe he wasn’t made in 75. I don’t know for sure. And none of you do either. If you believe sal misciotto as your proof you are a fool.

It was either late 76 or 77 it really doesn't matter to me. The book he wrote in 92ish should be the bar. I mean I forgot what he said in it. He really didnt go into to much detail he did say it was dibella as boss and his father was locked up at the time of his induction. Sonny was paroled in 1980. All that shit about him doing 50ty yrs was bullshit. He did aton of time but for a flare stretch I dont think he did 10. He goes to jail around 70 71 and was paroled buy 1980. I mean those luchese guys all did like 20straight that run the show today. If sonny stops violating parole all those times he probaly only had done the 70tys disco era

I think he did say 1975 in his first book blood oath. That was a shity book he held alot back

It's not that he misspoke, but that he keeps changing his story. First the UB boss was vacant,now he says Jerry Lang was UB. Lang wasn't even made until 1976(Capeci says 77).

The year is important as there has been debate for years on when the books(5 families) were opened. The general consensus is 1976. A lot of guys that flipped back this date up.

Then you have a few wild cards. George Barone and Fish Cafaro(Genovese) said they were made in 74. Gaspipe (Lucchese) claims he was made in 74 also. Franzese(Colombo) claims he was made in 75.

So I'm not only taking sal Miciotta's word but all the other guys that flipped also. Plus sal's account lines up with 2 of Michael's initial claims.
#1 The UB was vacant at the time. Abbate marco was UB in Fall of 75 and wasn't demoted until early 77.
#2 andy mush and Johnny irish were both captains at that time. Johnny irish wasn't a Capo until late summer/early fall of 78.

A lot. He will still barely even mention or acknowledge the name Champagne Larry Carroza.

He killed Champagne Larry.Even if he didn't pull the trigger he planned the hit.His dad told him to kill Carozza and that was that.He lies about that too

^^^im waiting for him to address that but he wont

Made a new video and at the end he stands by his 75 date. No facts to back up they opened the books before 76 except that he met Fish Cafaro in prison and he told him he was made in 74. Were chipping away at Mike. We need to push for a video only addressing the LCN Bios info, Miciotta's claims,guys he was made with(since they're all dead supposedly) and nothing else. Here is the video.

Why is it difficult for Franzese to mention guys' names made before 1975? He mentioned Vincent Cafaro aka Fish. He's the only guy he mentioned which was made in 1974 as it says on different internet sources. I dunno if they are reliable to be honest.

Franzese has been saying he was made in 1975 since he gave info to the feds in 1989. Has been consistent with that date for years. There's pretty compelling evidence that he was wrong but he'd look like a dumbass if he admitted that now. Also I'd imagine that Franzese, a former Cosa Nostra capo, would be pretty resistant to some randoms in the comment section trying to correct him.

Agree 100%. Plus if all the guys he was made with are dead why can he not talk about it? Seems like this is just another hustle to him. He talks in broad terms and only about well known dead guys like his dad or Persico or Gotti. I can understand him not talking about Champagne Larry(could open him up to legal prosecution) but you got a video about Meyer Lansky and Busy Siegel? He is glomming up the normie views. He won't acknowledge us mob forum guys that know better and ask detailed questions.
