Sometimes it takes a crook to recognize another crook.
The article contains a very interesting 7:15m video interview with a former organized crime boss.
The Colombo crime family’s former boss – Michael Franzese – says even he doesn’t trust Wall Street.
Franzese...spent 10 years in prison after he was convicted on federal racketeering charges.
When he was 35, Franzese ranked No. 8 on Fortune Magazine’s list of the 50 most wealthy and powerful mafia bosses (44 of those on the list are now dead, and three are doing life in prison without parole). He reportedly raked in up to $8 million a week. Franzese is the only surviving high-ranking member of a major crime family to publicly walk away and refuse protective custody.
