--------
In this clip, Michael Franzese opened up about Sammy The Bull detailing an order from former Colombo family head Carmine Persico, aka "Junior," to bring back an ear of the target of a hit. Michael then stated that he doesn't believe claims that Junior was an informant or a psychopath, but he added that Junior wasn't to be messed with. From there, Michael spoke about coming to Junior with a proposition when he was planning his gas scheme. This led to Michael speaking about bringing $8-10 million each week, and kicking up $2 million to Junior. To hear more, including Michael speaking about giving up $16.5 million he hid as part of his plea deal, hit the above clip.

They had to give up 33 million, that comes out to one month of earnings based off what he said. They were making 8-10 mill a week. This last a couple yrs. Where is the rest of the money, or is he exaggerating the amount they made. Actually they had to kick money to other people out of the 8-10, so it was basically 2-21/2 months worth of money.

What do you mean, nothing is fishy there, he had the bets lawyers around, his lawyer did a great job at only getting them to make him pay 33million. The government has to prove how much he actually made to make him pay it back so they had no way to prove exactly what he made.
