Michael acts confused as to why Chin wanted to see him and was surprised by how he made an offer to him about joining his family. One answer, chin wanted that gas money baby
Better to give it to Chin & the most powerful family, the Genovese, than the smallest, the Colombos, who, BTW, were always killing one another! Michael should've taken the offer
Vincent the Chin, he may have been odd but to fool the police and everybody for so long is quite an act.He deserves multiple Oscars for his performance. No actor could be as good as he was.
He didn’t fool law enforcement at all. They just couldn’t prove what he was doing in a court of law because of the hoops they had to jump through with the court-appointed psychologist and all that.
@@relaxg1727 He could have been smarter, inventing a new sign language and use it during their meeting, nobody would have had any evidence, never use cell phones, computers, just oral and then special codes .But I admire the guy, although I love Gotti for how he knew to dress real sharp, but that drove more attention to him than to the Chin with his pyamas and the robe. He also had a mistress not sure if his wife knew and with the mistress he had also children if I am not mistaken.
It's amazing dedication living that mob life and making millions like Chin but unable to leave that life by traveling and seeing the world living free from watching over your shoulder and the daily grind of that stressful mob life.
Michael, your stories are much more interesting and entertaining than movies. You always set the bar high but you never disappoint. Respect. Keep up with the great job!
Michael, have you always been this articulate and interesting in telling a story? Seriously, you are like a movie running without commercials that keeps the viewer and listener captivated from start to finish.
I can’t believe that this day in age with all the facts now known, Rudy can’t admit that the Chin fooled him when they Indicted fat Tony instead of chin because they thought he was the real boss. He was wrong but still acts like Chin wasn’t really the boss when everyone else knows he was.
Every time I get the notification that you have released another video, I get so excited! So many interesting facts. Thank you for all you do, sending love and light.
In the mafia they break you or shelf you, break you meaning being demoted & being shelved means you’re excommunicated from your own family & all the others, you’re no longer in the life.
I'm new to the crew and I don't comment often but I have to applaud Michael for the statement "Why would I kick dirt on someone? I was one of those guys". It shows that Michael has made a choice to not be a hypocrite. That might not sound like much but in today's world, the deliberate decision to "I am not perfect and I refuse to judge others for not being perfect" is a rare thing. Thank you for it
Chin was a very smart man, That conversation told me he had his ear to the streets and knew big earners. Shooters are a dime a dozen but guys who can earn big were extremely valuable. Micheal coming over to the Genoveses would have boosted his power by alot. What a powerhouse that would have been.
Chin would have slowly got the info on the gas scam, had one of his crew ready to take over and then had Michael killed on some pretense. Chin didn't trust turncoats.
I bet Chin did want Michael to come be Capo with the Genoveses. His Dad Sonny was extremely well-known and respected, and Michael was a seriously successful earner. ANY FAMILY would love to have Michael on board with them.
Great show Michael I come from New Zealand and have been a Mafia historian reading all the books for about 30 years. Just superb to hear your things from the horse’s mouth so to speak, keep up the good work. Regards Toni
I love how honest you are when you say you met or didn't meet certain MOBSTERS when asked👌You could just say ya I met him and we be none the wiser..That's how I know you're a true story teller with facts🙏Big fan from Ireland 🇮🇪

I can't remember how I stumbled onto watching your videos, it was through the 1st lockdown here in the UK, but I've been hooked on them ever since and they never disappoint. Such a crazy and interesting life to have lived and also to have lived to tell the tale.
Chin for me will always be the most fascinating mob boss ever . I love hearing any stories about him ❤ thought the way he was portrayed in godfather of harlem was atrocious, I couldn't even finish the series it was that bad
@Cutter Gotti crew broke every rule in the book, but Castellano was greedy and messing with his made so Frankie and Sammy with Gotti killed the boss but not turning up to the Respected underboss Mr Neil funeral he saved him for month's great history and have a good day Bro 💯🙏
I could listen to those all day. You are a good guy Mike, I saw your sitdown with your daughters, and I agree with your advice 1000%. Looking forward more of these.
Do keep doing the interviews mate, you've been providing great content, great guests, you let them talk but at the same time add some great perspectives, and it has kept your channel from getting repetitive. Your interviews with guests have been a really smart play.
My week doesn't start until I get my Michael Franzese Mob Monday minute. It's like getting a dose of real-life history that should have been taught in school.
Wow, the more I think of it, the more I’m in awe of this comment. Can you imagine a world where Sicilian cosa nostra/mafia history is taught as a core curriculum subject in public schools? LOL
Hello Michael, thank you very much for another great episode. I thoroughly enjoy every episode and you do such a wonderful job taking the viewer from beginning to end. Have a great week.
Michael u r a class act!!! Love your use of words & how u tell it for real! In a factual manner !!!! You would have been successful in any business imo
I love how he says, “ I already talked about certain things I don’t want to be redundant about” just so that no one twists his words or accuses him of lying or telling the story differently
This is what makes Michael most interesting. He has had relationships with top mob bosses who go back to the 50s and 60s, who themselves were the bridge from the Luciano, Costello days to what the mafia has become in later years.
I find this kind of life interesting. So very different from how I have lived. Thank you so much for sharing, I’m a new subscriber and look forward to watching old videos and new ones as they come out
I recently heard Rudy Giuliani saying that Gigante was 8th in charge of the Genovese family! Michael refuted that and said he was definitely the boss! Everything I’ve seen, read and heard indicates that Michael is right! I respect Giuliani, but I think he got this one wrong!
Great video as always, Michael. Thanks. Always fascinated with the inter-family stuff even though I'm still confused if a capo is over a territory or just a crew or both.
Thanks for any of your stories. I actually like these shorts that you and Mr. G put out. The interviews and podcasts I listen to when I'm in the car for an hr or more. I really wish my mother and uncle were alive to hear these stories. They grew up in Buffalo and my uncle went to school with a couple of guys that were connected in some way or other. While I will never get to hear my uncle tell any stories its all good to yours and Mr.G. I'm glad you both have something cooking because you could do movies or TV shows. As long as you keep going the more I listen. Thanks a bunch
Always great to hear your stories. Chin knew your value to the family and respected that. Another amazing story. I have nothing good to say about Sharpton. Lots of dirty people still in power..Bless you and your family!!!
Men like Michael are rare! Absolute leader, his voice is commanding and oozing with confidence and strong character. I like Michael very much, lot to learn from him!
Mike great story as always. Much respect ✊🏾 I can't wait to see the sit down with you and Sammy, its going to be the biggest hit on you tube for 2021. best believe. You always have my ✊🏾 Mike. Keep the good clips coming💯👍🏾✌🏾
Michael, you're one of the few that got out of the life, didn't give anyone up and is still here to talk about it. Jesus always had a plan for you. Love watching your videos.
I hate how there are some people that call Michael a rat. He never testified on anyone in that life yet they’re calling him a rat. Obviously they don’t understand the differences between informing and cooperating or neither.
Michael, I think what you do is amazing! I really appreciate your integrity. I love your books as well. Being Italian, I feel like this is a part of my heritage, and I thank you for sharing.

Hey Michael! Awesome! Well not much I could say on this one being I know some family but look forward to the video! 🤫🤫😂 Have a great week Mike! God Bless from The Bronx 👊🙏🇺🇸
@@michaelfranzese Your answer is exactly what I was thinking when I read that question. You would agree to meet the other boss, out of respect for him as a boss, but check in with your own boss. That way you can have all bases covered in the event something doesn't go quite as planned. Yes you were a big earner for the Colombo family during that life. You made the right move and now you're earning for the biggest boss around, God. He will never steer us wrong, will be beside us and guide us. I enjoy watching all of your videos and like how they all tend to have a great life lesson we can all learn from. I was involved in a very bad near fatal high speed vehicle crash, on my way to work as a corrections officer at a Texas state prison, on December 20 2016. Two pickup trucks hit my 1999 Saturn LS2 head on at 90 to 100 mph and rear end at about 60 mph plus. I got a visit from God and several angels inside my car just before the head on impact. God told me to relax, don't be scared and fall asleep because he would protect me and I would live. The paramedics arrived at the scene, took me to a hospital in Angleton, Texas. The emergency room doctor called the trauma team in the emergency room at University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston. They told them I was being sent to them as a level one trauma patient which meant my condition was life threatening. I found out the next day I had a brain hemorrhage and actively bleeding in two spots along with a severe concussion. My surgeon then told me he had two full surgical teams rotating back and forth for fifteen hours. He said the standard procedures weren't working so he opened the floor for ideas. They found four things that, when combined, were working and keeping me alive. The teams did that for twelve consecutive hours. I told the surgeon how, when they were operating on me, I felt my soul leave my physical body and I floated above while I watched them work. It was full color, high resolution, real time video experience. Then the room started to get dark, the surgical people started to fade and I went back into my body. My mind went dark for a couple minutes and I felt cold. I suddenly felt a warm white light shining on me, saw a tunnel open and heard a familiar fatherly voice call out to me so I followed toward it. I got to a large golden gate, could see on the other side and many of my relatives and some ancestors were there. They wanted me to join them in heaven but God told them it wasn't time for me yet because I had important work still left to do. He promised them not to worry because I would join them when it was my time. That is my testimony and I hope it has someone out there.
Michael acts confused as to why Chin wanted to see him and was surprised by how he made an offer to him about joining his family. One answer, chin wanted that gas money baby

I think that much was obvious.

So Michael calls it an "honor" when somebody wants to get him in his family to profit from his business. What a joke!
Better to give it to Chin & the most powerful family, the Genovese, than the smallest, the Colombos, who, BTW, were always killing one another! Michael should've taken the offer
Vincent the Chin, he may have been odd but to fool the police and everybody for so long is quite an act.He deserves multiple Oscars for his performance. No actor could be as good as he was.
He acted like a regular guy in the feds. Watched him play gin rummy. Wasn't crazy in any way.
He didn't fool the feds, they knew exactly what he was doing.
He didn’t fool law enforcement at all. They just couldn’t prove what he was doing in a court of law because of the hoops they had to jump through with the court-appointed psychologist and all that.

I just listened to about half of an interview with Rita Gigante. She mentioned his walks in his bathrobe. Thank you for this post.
I find Chin extremely interesting, would love to hear more stories about him.
Ditto
Chin was the most powerful man in New York
according to sammy he was quite brutal.
We need a Chin movie next
Listen to his book or “Mafia Prince”… there’s a few stories in there about him. He made Nicky Scarfo the boss and killed Angelo Bruno.

Chin was so good he has Rudy still fooled that he was not the actual boss 😂😂
@finefeline Rudy never was and still isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Actually, I found him to be quite an idiot. Gigante was brilliant.

John Gotti was at a sit down with Chin once, and told him “my son was just made” and chin said “that’s a sad thing”

Fantastic stories Michael keep them coming and I love listening to you you seem to be a great guy look forward to the next story and God bless you
Love your stories Michael. So when a Boss Calls for you, Rules are you have to go. Does that apply to any boss even if they are from another Family?
@@michaelfranzese Your answer is exactly what I was thinking when I read that question. You would agree to meet the other boss, out of respect for him as a boss, but check in with your own boss. That way you can have all bases covered in the event something doesn't go quite as planned.
Yes you were a big earner for the Colombo family during that life. You made the right move and now you're earning for the biggest boss around, God. He will never steer us wrong, will be beside us and guide us.
I enjoy watching all of your videos and like how they all tend to have a great life lesson we can all learn from.
I was involved in a very bad near fatal high speed vehicle crash, on my way to work as a corrections officer at a Texas state prison, on December 20 2016. Two pickup trucks hit my 1999 Saturn LS2 head on at 90 to 100 mph and rear end at about 60 mph plus. I got a visit from God and several angels inside my car just before the head on impact. God told me to relax, don't be scared and fall asleep because he would protect me and I would live. The paramedics arrived at the scene, took me to a hospital in Angleton, Texas. The emergency room doctor called the trauma team in the emergency room at University of Texas Medical Branch-Galveston. They told them I was being sent to them as a level one trauma patient which meant my condition was life threatening. I found out the next day I had a brain hemorrhage and actively bleeding in two spots along with a severe concussion. My surgeon then told me he had two full surgical teams rotating back and forth for fifteen hours. He said the standard procedures weren't working so he opened the floor for ideas. They found four things that, when combined, were working and keeping me alive. The teams did that for twelve consecutive hours. I told the surgeon how, when they were operating on me, I felt my soul leave my physical body and I floated above while I watched them work. It was full color, high resolution, real time video experience. Then the room started to get dark, the surgical people started to fade and I went back into my body. My mind went dark for a couple minutes and I felt cold. I suddenly felt a warm white light shining on me, saw a tunnel open and heard a familiar fatherly voice call out to me so I followed toward it. I got to a large golden gate, could see on the other side and many of my relatives and some ancestors were there. They wanted me to join them in heaven but God told them it wasn't time for me yet because I had important work still left to do. He promised them not to worry because I would join them when it was my time.
That is my testimony and I hope it has someone out there.
