Anthony Ruggiano Jr. is a former member of the Gambino crime family, which is one of the five families of organized crime in New York City. He is the son of Anthony "Fat Andy" Ruggiano, who was also A Capo, a high-ranking member of the Gambino family. Anthony Ruggiano Jr. has been involved in various criminal activities, including extortion, loan sharking, and racketeering. However, it is important to note that engaging in criminal activities is illegal and not condoned by any reputable organization or individual.
Michael Franzese is a fascinating individual with a compelling story. He gained notoriety as a former mobster and caporegime of the Colombo crime family based in New York City. However, he has since turned his life around and now leads a motivational speaking career, sharing his experiences and advocating for positive change.
Born on May 27, 1951, Michael is the son of legendary mobster John "Sonny" Franzese, who was a prominent figure in the Colombo crime family. Growing up in a mafia-controlled environment, Michael was exposed to a life of crime from an early age. His father, Sonny, was a notorious figure in the underworld, known for his involvement in various illegal activities.
Michael entered the family business and quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a caporegime in the Colombo crime family. He became involved in various criminal activities, including racketeering, extortion, and money laundering. However, it was his involvement in a gasoline tax scam that brought him widespread attention and made him a household name.
In the 1980s, Michael orchestrated one of the largest gasoline bootlegging schemes in history. He and his associates would dilute gasoline with cheaper additives, avoiding taxes and earning millions of dollars in illegal profits. This operation made him a significant player in the organized crime world, and he became known as "The Prince of the Mafia."
However, Michael's criminal activities came to an end when he was indicted on multiple charges in 1985. Facing a lengthy prison sentence, he made the courageous decision to leave the mafia life behind and cooperate with federal authorities. This move not only saved his own life but also led to the dismantling of many organized crime operations.
After serving time in prison and testifying against numerous mobsters, Michael embarked on a path of redemption. He renounced his past life and transformed himself into a motivational speaker, sharing his unique story of personal transformation. Through his speaking engagements, he aims to inspire others to make positive changes and avoid a life of crime.
Michael's journey from a notorious mobster to a respected speaker has captivated audiences worldwide. His experiences and insights provide a rare glimpse into the dark world of organized crime and the power of personal reinvention. Today, he is a sought-after speaker, delivering talks at corporate events, universities, and even TEDx conferences.
In conclusion, Michael Franzese's story is a testament to the human capacity for change and redemption. From his early involvement in organized crime to his decision to leave the mafia and pursue a new path, he has demonstrated remarkable resilience and personal growth. Now, as a motivational speaker, he uses his past experiences to inspire others and advocate for positive change. Michael's journey serves as a reminder that it is never too late to turn one's life around and make a difference. - บันเทิง
You, Sammy and Michael are my favorite TH-cam channels. It’s is so great to see you collaborate with them. It is the modern day equivalent of seeing crossover episodes of our favorite tv shows in the 1970’s.
It is great to see
Skinny Joe Merlino coming for that top spot.
@@danamissouri he’s not a rat so he can’t talk about “other” stuff.
Ohhhh Antony. You’re spoiling us now. 😊
you could tell mike was in a good mood here. hes always a bit different when he talks with someone from the old life (well not with everyone you know who i mean) you can see the reminiscing going on behind his eyes and how he relaxes more.
Great stuff. You and Michael are icons!❤
I told several of my friends about you and Michael. We all hope you and Michael don't get tired of telling your stories and any of your comments and opinions about whatever you talk about. Keep up the good work "you's two"....👍
I’d be scared shitless if I found out that it was Michael Franzese’s hubcaps I lifted lol. I could listen to you guys talk all day! Awesome stories
Another amazing video!!! Congratulations!!!
We love your channel!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Beautiful boys. Can't wait for the rest
Great show you to!
Man I'm loving your videos after seeing you on sammys show and now subscribed to yours
Thank you & Welcome aboard!
You guys had me laughing like crazy. Great chemistry between you two.
No better mob guys to listen to! And when you combine them it’s an unbelievable listen! Two guys now thriving and both look in their 50’s ! All the best.
I hope you, Michael & Sammy all live past 100. You got a lot of fans on TH-cam including me.
This was a great interview. Anthony and Micheal are great! Always much love, respect and support from The Zapata Brand Podcast! ❤

AnthonyRuggianoJr@gmail.com
Love your energy super cool. Love what u do.
Awesome interview like always Anthony!
I first watched you on The John & Gene show. I would love to see you have a conversation w/ your cousin Gene Borrello. Continued success Anthony 👏
Thank you Just put a short out about that
@@AnthonyRuggiano thank you for letting me know, I will go check it out. Great interview w/ Michael. Your interviews w/ Sammy were also excellent 👑
I love these guys. Grew up in NYC in the 70's and 80's. My family wasnt mobbed up (unless you count NYPD), but I knew the neighborhoods and the scene very well.
Born on the LES of Manhattan, family in Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay, went to high school in the Bronx.
Anthony talks about the Ritz on 4th Avenue which I knew well. 😂
You guys rock. ☮️. 💚 and respect. God bless you.
met mikey he's a great guy and I know his family we are all from Greenpoint Brooklyn
Hey... I'm going to be 70 this year too. Must be my Sicilian genes and the pizza I eat regularly. Great show.
Tony, Love your Content, your right about that not many can put second generation Content out esp. when us viewers know Sonny , Michaek , you and your dad is Famous Famous, not internet famous, Thanks!
Great video fellas!! Gotta love the chemistry between Michael “the kid” franzese and Anthony “Quack quack “ ruggiano
This is the first time I've listened to Anthony. He seems personable.
Omg. They both look amazing for their age esp Anthony. He has such good energy. Love both their channels and podcasts. Such inspiring success stories.
Anthony is doing a great job as human being. Helping people with their drug habits. Helping with the genre where people discuss mob, mafia or Costa nostra. I mean I'm glad he never got made and flipped. Cause you would be dangerously good at it. And we don't need that. He had the sammy one now Michael f. He actually has no beef with anyone which shows you he wants what is best. Great job. Plus he's not talking like a robot so I don't have to turn him off.
My husband who's 75 has the energy of a 45 year old! Me, on the other hand, am 71 and feel like I'm 90 🙄 God bless you both 🙏
Thank you two for sharing, great interview, Semper Fi, Stay Safe and God Bless, Ray from Lindenwood, ny
Marines and Lindenwood, Ny. Thank you!

In the days back then you must be very smart and strong heart. Keep it UP Anthony I hope you doing well.👍 all the Greetings from the Netherlands
This was a great episode 🔥🔥
Great videos..please keep them coming
When the times comes for Anthony, Michael and Sammy to sit together, the world might just stand still and im here for it.
Anthony, GREAT interaction between you and Michael Franzese (I only wish I had seen this video sooner). Let's be honest, with all the trash-talking often times between various gangsters, it was very cool to see two former made guys showing genuine affection for one another. As ironic as it may appear when I state the following: you and Michael seem like genuinely nice human beings.
U guys are great I love listening to you
Just found your channel. Love it. Your interview style and pacing are great. I like the relaxed interesting stories. Love the mob stories. Keep it up .
Anthony.. another Great Video

Hard to believe these 2 were mean gangsters as nice and respectful they are. Sammy isn’t like them
we have a real gangster war now in sweden😥
Their fathers were Kings of the Streets literally…without prison Sonny could be boss of the family or acting boss while carmine was in prison. And Andy was big but I did not if capo Regime or underboss…
U were a gangster true blue but this franzese dude was a businessman
Did Michael dad sonny stick to the rule that Carlo Gambino made deal and die ?
A very young 72...
Both look amazing for age , has to be the not normal working hours when younger 😂😂 fuc this 9-5 shit 😂
Two 70 year olds that look 50
From now on, I will be cheating from the get go, so she knows what to expect. If that's not the most gangster thing ever!
❤ Michael is the one who stole money that people were putting gas in the working class
😂 Samuel the bull, and you are gangster's michael It's the one that's still working class hard money putting gas in their car
I simply don't believe in " a reformed " criminal, 😅
Back in the day Michael looked so soft
Great interview
Everytime he says my father everyone had to do a shot
