      @metamorphicorder 4 роки тому +37

      He wasnt the 'boss' he was a capo. Under the boss.
      And when he says no money he meant BIG MONEY. They were starting at 100 million. The agent worked down to 10 which is roughly 10% of the principal.
      He brought it down to a quarter of a percent. Over 5 years.
      Hes a national and international motivational speaker and im sure he has started some actually legit busineses in his new life, you have to realize this guy used to have over 1 million out on the street as loans to people. So when he says money he probably means something different than you. Like to me 100 dollars is money.
      To him 100 is a tip he leaves at a table where he got merely adequate service.

      I could see a billion though because $250-$300 million (high end) over 10 years, added to the other businesses and also to the opportunity that type of money brings.

The dollar today is worth anywhere from 5 to 1 percent of the original value, which was defined as rough .9 oz of silver, coined by the us treasury. Thats inflation. Its the printing of money to intentionally devalue currency and give bankers free leverage to control real estate and businesses foolish enough to take the loans. Free money for the bankers, not for you though. Imagine how hard they laugh everyday.

    I wish Michael would tell us some stories about his dealings with the Russian mobsters. He never discusses them or what they're like, or anything about them really. I wonder if he still keeps in touch with any of them and if most of them had an ill-fate later down the line just like most Italian mobsters, usually death or prison. Would be very interesting to hear, since he said he was really close with them and stuff, at least together in business with the gas station crew. So wonder how they were like back in those days because not too many Russians were around here back then, so they were usually only limited to a few scenes like Brighton and so forth.
    Ever since the early to late 90s a lot more Russians and Eastern Europeans generally have moved to the USA to study, work and live, and by now, after 20 some years or more, I'm sure they're a lot more sophisticated than they were back then, with better English and better money, etc. Someone ask him about the rushings, okay?

When you struggle to become financially secure from having nothing I tend to not ever want to go backwards. I hope to be financially secure one day. I'm getting to old to slave away living paycheck to paycheck. They say money doesn't make you happy but it sure would be nice to not worry about feeding your family and keeping utilities on.

      Hehe. She said big. You look like you are big on dating men who are big. If you wanna get big yourself, as you shoudl, you know how you get big? By lifting weights and working hard. You should lift weights and work hard. You will gain muscle and get big. And then you can buy a big house, big car, and big nail polish and tweezer sold in a special travel size pouch for big unibrows that just won't give.
      And no, you can't use my lighter. First of all, it's not a lighter, it's a personal compact fire rectangle, and two, I actually don't even smoke so this lighter doesn't ever flick, unless I am wanting to flick, even if for no reason but to flick just to flick, flick without cause. Furthermore, and you're taking up my time here, I carry this lighter to parties just so I can say no to smokers when they forget their personal compact fire pouch or rectangle, I like to see that little light in their eyes disappear, no, not from when the lighter rectangle shuts off, but when I say no and their hopes to suck are crushed.

      Thanks Pedro. That's kind of you to notice. Are you keeping track? The counting position is open if you're interested. Oops, my apologies, that's *accounting. I often confuse the two 'cause they practically the same thing, you know. That and they often be jewish, if you know what I mean. Hue-hue.
      Back in the day before he retired, my actuary, excuse me, I meant to say *accountant, I confuse those too 'cause they are often jewish too. Scuse me, scuse me. So my old jewish accountant used to always say, "Hey ma! Where's my kippah! Can you check Matthew's room 'cause that fucker keeps stealing mine and drawing profanities all over! I will strangle that little rascal if he has committed such crimes again! Please ma! I'm doing this man's accounting before we go to Sunday service real quick! Ma! Beat the shit out of Matthew for me for defacing/defiling my kippah!"
      His mother would show up and say, "Matthew has disappeared. Gone. Completely unaccounted for. Probably left and gone to a country with no extradition laws back to USA, so you will be unable to put your hands on him and physically arrest or assault him, putting your violent will on our poor boy who has done no crime to no kippah unless you first prove it in the court of law!"
      See, his mother was a lawyer, which my lawyer was too, because it was she. And so, he'd reply back, "Fine, bitch."
      And I would chuckle. And then he would chuckle. And then she would chuckle. And we'd all laugh and laugh. True story, that one. One of my best memories. And this would happen every time, I mean every time I came in to do some financials, logging, figuring out the right price for the hookers, whatever, this guy could do it all, even in old age. Never interested in the jay-jay himself, but he was real good at figuring out how supply and demand works and which hotspots and choke-points were the best for maximum profitability, so I let him run the supply and demand, the orders of more, which he would go by feel, taste and visual, a little unorthodox, but it brought great results so it was fine by me. And so, every time I'd go visit him THIS EXACT SCENARIO would play out one way or another, every single time. I never saw his kid brother even once though, which I thought was odd but didn't question it.
      And here is where his mom laid the bomb on me. When he retired and went to a home, I thought it was a regular home, but it was a non-regular home. If you know what I mean (like for the retardos and stuff), and his mom said that he had 7 other personalities and one of them was that boy that would draw on his kippah. Now I don't know about you, but that boy better get arrested! He tortured that man for over 30 years and do you know the financial strain he caused on this man! Having to buy a new kippah almost every week! So I went to the special retirement home, passed all the security checkpoints with Elmo and Cookie Monster cutouts, and beat the living shit out of him! Halfway through he quit being the compulsively drawing boy and so to this very day I feel really bad for him because I don't know how long I was beating the shit out of him, it could've been very much right from the start, as I don't even remember exactly anymore because of short term memory loss. And so, everybody lived happily ever after after that. Got a new accountant, jewish too, but with a vagina. She's married though so me and Jay don't talk.
      Anyways, good talking to you Pedro. It's been a while. Over and out.
      How's ma? She good and still make that heavenly taco soup and casserole? Tell her to send me one, I'll choke out $15 for the 14.99 international shipping, you can keep the $0.01 for yourself, save it in your rainy fund campaign or something. I got your mums a gift at a garage sale, it's a literal bowl (you can put my taco soup innit biiiiiiitch, haha) on a necklace, I hope she likes it. Because see, that's what good friends do for each other. They say nah, you're good, .01 won't break my wallet, might ruin the rest of my day misplacing a penny, but hey, it's not like it's a dime or nothin'. That would make it rain hell over low caste paradise! *audible chuckling that slowly turns into imitated rage*
      P.S. I expect correspondence within a week or less about the bowl and the frozen taco soup liquid which I will thaw and consume when delivered to these premises, and will respond to you about my personal experience with said product from mex-ma.com. If no said correspondence is sent I will never mention the soup again and will adhere from satisfying you with loving comments and complimentary directed to your ma's excellent soup making ability. No, this is not a joke. Do not test me.
      So long, this is a joke I made up, I am broke, homeless and tired, a little hungry but ate an earlier orange peel which was thick and juicy for a peel which provided me with sustainable sustenance. When do I get the job for the jokester position? I know I'm already a joke, but when does the money for it start rolling in?

    He’s wicked smart. Rest assured, he planned ahead and stashed a nest egg somewhere. Chances of the feds getting the better of him are zero to none!!

      He once said that he had a safe in his basement in NJ with 10 million in cash just to make sure.

    It's a known fact that he had several million in a safe deposit box in Vegas. Unfortunately, his ex wife Sharon Stone ruined all that.

    When is there going to be a movie about Mr. Michael Franzese? It would be a blockbuster
