Full video: Millions of Dollars in Foreign Bank Lost!!...
Brought to you by: Michael Franzese Wines
Whenever former Colombo family Caporegime Michael Franzese speaks to audiences worldwide, one question inevitably surfaces above all others: Where is all the money buried? In this video, Michael breaks his silence on what actually happened to the illicit millions generated from his multi-billion-dollar gasoline bootlegging empire. He takes viewers behind the scenes of his complex partnership with Larry Iorizzo—a brilliant, 500-pound operator who helped architect the fuel tax scheme that pulled in upwards of $8 million a week before panic, extravagant spending, and an ill-fated escape to Manuel Noriega's Panama unraveled his operation.
Michael details how federal agents executed an extradition snatch in Panama, bringing Iorizzo into custody where the unbearable thought of a two-foot prison cot immediately flipped him into the government's star witness. When federal prosecutors attempted to use Iorizzo against Michael in a Manhattan courtroom headed by Rudy Giuliani, the defense dismantled his credibility on the stand, forcing a desperate legal standoff over a secret numbered bank account in Austria holding over $33 million. Explaining the true cost of eight years in federal prison, millions in restitution, and the harsh fate of those who chase underworld riches, Michael reveals why criminal fortunes inevitably turn to dust.
