MICHAEL FRANZESE'S LIES CONTINUE

I'm not sure which is more laughable.  The fact that Michael Franzese has a following despite lying repeatedly, or the fact that he still believes that he's not an informant.  The problem with Michael has always been "over-inflation," a mob associate told me just last night via the phone.

"He wants people to believe that he was some sort of genius, and tries to put him on Tony Salerno's level, and believe me, the truth is, as much as it makes me sick, but Anthony Casso was the brain behind most of Franzese's acclamation's."

What my friend told me is true.  The first part is that, Michael Franzese is definitely a rat. He has tried in vain over the years to bypass that moniker while offering up false tales about beating John Gotti in cards, beating John Gotti out of property, and now apparently knows all the secrets to Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, which is laughable.  Let's begin with the obvious.

He testified against Norby Walters.  Norby Walters was a minor racketeer.  He was extorting big musical acts like the Jackson 5, and Dion Warwick.  Michael has gone on record claiming that Norby was like an "Uncle" to him.  If that's the case, why did he run to the FBI and snitch on him?  When then did he testify against him in court.  Norby Walters got serious time.  Michael admitted in a Vanity Fair article in the early 90's to that.  Additionally he testified against his fathers janitor, who also received prison time.  He followed that up with giving the names of made members to the FBI, who then prosecuted.   So for Michael to attempt to take some moral high ground is hysterical.  He is a rat, make no bones about it.  Rat Rat Rat.

But what about that gas tax scheme he loves to go on an on and on about?  The truth is, he didn't invent it.  It was already in play by Marat Balagula, who was a Ukranian mob boss.  It was his scam which was pulling in billions of dollars with the hub being in Brighton Beach.  So any claim Franzese makes to invent the scam is a flat out lie.  Franzese had attempted to shake down Balagula's crew, and they weren't having it.  Through Christie Tick Funari, Anthony Casso was brought in.  Casso was close with Balagula and wouldn't allow Franzese to shake anyone down without his approval.

Casso told Franzese to back off, that Balagula belonged to him. It was Casso who held a sit down over the issue and Casso agreed that there was enough money to go around, and the money was split up among the five families.  Balagula was essentially paying off Casso, and the five families so that he could continue to operate.

The big lie Franzese tells is how he devised the plan, devised the shell companies.  Absolutely not true.  He also lays claim to being the "biggest money maker in the mafia." Also not true.  Casso made significantly more money for the mob as well as Salerno.  How he even puts himself in that is ridiculous.

His latest lie, is knowing what happened to Jimmy Hoffa.  He also lays claim to Marilyn Monroe and Bobby Kennedy likely being the murderer of Monroe.  NOT TRUE, and hilarious.   In fact, Hoffa's DNA was found in the Michigan house where Frank Sheeran says Hoffa was killed, by him.   Also found in the car Sheeran was in, was Hoffa's DNA, further proving exactly what Sheeran said.  How on earth Franzese can make up a wild story about Hoffa is just further proof that he does what all rats do, and tries to insert himself into history when he obviously isn't that proficient at actually reading about it.

He recently went on a podcast and levy his "version of events," which is not true.  Not only did Frank Sheeran kill Jimmy Hoffa, and his body was in fact put into a funeral home and incinerated a few blocks from the house in Michigan, but his DNA was found all over the place, further proving that Michael Franzese is lying and has no clue what he's talking about.

As far as Marilyn Monroe, those rumors have been all over the board since the day she died.  All Michael has done is regurgitate a conspiracy theory mention a million times before, he offered nothing new, just more innuendo and bullshit.   The story I heard, which is a conspiracy theory is that it was Peter Lawford who had more information about the demise of Monroe than anyone.

 According to some, it was Lawford who dealt Monroe a hot dose in her rectum, which contained cyanide.  Monroe was angry that JFK refused to leave Jackie, and that she threatened that if he didn't leave her, she would expose his mafia connections through Sinatra and Sam Giancana, and how the vote system was rigged in Indiana and West Virginia to help get Kennedy elected.  It's on that basis, that Lawford was sent to deal with Monroe.  What makes the story even more suspect is that  Bobby Kennedy allegedly was in her apartment hours before her death.  The White House keeps records of where everyone goes, and everyone has known for decades he was in fact there.  How long and for what is the million dollar question. 

The likelihood is that he went there to try and calm Monroe down, but he was also sleeping with Monroe too.  Lawford's job was to go and fix it, and put pill bottles into the apartment to make it look like a suicide. 

The truth is, we will never know what happened.  Conspiracies are simply that, but in this case there is no conspiracy about Franzese.  He's completely lying.  It's his modus operandi.   Inflate, inflate, inflate.
