Ex-Mob Boss Sells Something On The Dark Web

how badly do not want people to buy this very badly I tell you well I don't know of any other mob guy that ever did anything like this this belongs on the dark web for sure it is President's Day 2020 and I am all alone here at the office because I've decided to return to the dark web yay I made a couple of videos now about the dark web and those experiences were fairly fruitful okay but I also recently made a series of videos for the former mafia member named Michael Franzese Michael and I have since become fairly close friends he is one of my two favorite Michaels on my phone and actually got to thinking and I got genuinely curious because in many ways Michael represents an old way of crime so I wanted to bring him in to look at the dark webbing game his thoughts as to how technology has shaped crime and how criminal activity can be conducted today how are you good to see you my good to see good to see you back you look great very quickly Michael before we start filming the video we need just a few cool shots of you we coming out of the car for your intro to the concert we want the audience to kind of know you know who you are my name is Michael Franzese I am a former soldier and capo regime in the Colombo crime family in New York and today I'm here to set foot into the very dangerous world of the dark web look at the camera that's perfect cut hey there you are there there that's what we like so Michael what do you know about the dark web nothing I don't know anything about it the dark web can only be accessed through special routing software or browsers these browsers for example I want to clarify they're not necessarily bad anyone can access them it's not illegal to have them what happens with these browsers they can't be tracked so in other words as a mobster I'd be using the dark web and not anything on top of that exactly gotcha so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to show you some of the marketplaces on the dark web and get your thoughts okay so in other words you can buy a fraudulent Visa Mastercard or Amex you can buy these home online yeah wow it's amazing to me that people would do business online like this really and you can buy a PayPal account with a four thousand dollar balance what's the price on that fifty four dollars so four fifty four dollars you can buy a PayPal account that has four thousand dollars in it that's why that's what it says right there yeah I'll tell you what we wanted this sophisticated my day and when I was indicted for racketeering you know the underlying acts were fraud and one of the fraudulent acts was credit card for it you know credit card fraud has been around forever it was a thing that the mob used to get involved in we used to get credit card we printed him up at times and and all the times we just got him from other places so familiar with that again you know we'd never think it would be online let's say this the dark web existed back in your day and you were able to have the option of performing or your associate performing credit card fraud online would you still go with the methods you used back in the day or would you go online you know I think part of the reason my former associates the mob got in trouble because we didn't keep up with technology you know there was one time they had bugs in the parking meters we used to go talk by the parking meters and they had bugged the meters one of the reasons so many guys got in trouble we never kept up with technology we didn't and government was way ahead of us on it so you know having that my head I'd be afraid to use any of this and leave that kind of a trail however no doubt guys on the street would be using this if this was a you know an avenue for them to commit their activity they would do it no doubt about it I probably get caught at some point so this is drugs now so give me your thoughts on this so they're selling xanax at feta mines so this is basically a drug dealers paradise on here oxycodone oh gosh that stuff I'm telling you I don't wash you know I had daughters and went to college and I know a dural was big back tennis mat fact I was writing a book and I was on a deadline and had to hand it in and my daughter is trying to give me an adderall she said dad you know this will keep you awake I'll be honest - sleep for three days oh Jesus because I never took a drug in my life she gave me that I said how do you kids do this did you face the book I finished the book oh yeah I could read another book which book with it I wish I'll make you an offer you couldn't refuse yeah available now yes of course I got a ask though in The Godfather for example hmm you know one of the plot points was at the Corleone's they kind of refused to get into the drug business right when you were with the Colombo crime family was everything that you guys didn't want to touch yeah a couple of things the night I got straightened out we would tall that night we deal with drugs we die no drugs as a matter of fact I had a dear friend of mine his name was Tony Jaa he was a made guy who was a soldier unto me he got arrested for drugs along with the boss's son and he came to me and he said Mike I'm in trouble he said we sold drugs to an undercover cop and I said them don't worry about it I'm gonna straighten out he was an old-time guy he was so scared okay that he was gonna get walked into a room and get killed because he got involved in drugs he went into a phone booth blew his brains out killed himself because he said I don't want anybody to walk me into a room I'd rather do it myself that's the fear of us selling drugs at the time so it was off limits so whenever you see these stories I know there's been movies out there and you know where mob guys were involved heavily in drugs not true mr. silly ins from the Mafia there were big drug dealers they were heroin dealers but we didn't get involved we weren't allowed to get involved I never sold a drug and never took a drug I'm all life until that Rob well yeah yeah I'll be honest with you too during my time in that life I don't remember anybody being involved in prostitution never and the other thing that that I just drives me crazy when I hear about it you know when they're kidnapping these kids and selling them yes sex trafficking if any of our guys would have gotten involved in that in any way they would have got killed when I hear about it today I can't believe how widespread it is just horrible stuff unfortunately the dark web is a place where a lot of let's say video content of such really acts can be found and sold Wow a while ago I went on the dark web before and I've actually purchased some things off of it so we paid money for a set of dark web links so you could go further into the dark web but I just want to show you some of the stuff that these links can lead to when I can go to visiting them but some of them are quite shocking you see what that says right there next to that pedo videos yeah beautiful videos god now disgusting that's just horrible horrible but you got to be sick I mean there's there's no other explanation for that you know Ari I gotta be honest with you me we did some rough things in my time in that life but some of the things that I'm hearing now I mean I just can't believe it you know all of these murders in these these kids and these gangs they have no regard or respect for human life at all in our life I'm not gonna say violence wasn't a part of it it absolutely was I'm not gonna say guys didn't get killed they did no doubt but we were told straight out when you come into that life we have certain rules that you have to follow and if you don't follow it you could pay for it with your life and your best friend might be called upon to take care of that you might be called into a room one night by your best friend you don't walk out again that's one of the horrors of that life but murder was taken very very seriously it wasn't random it had to be approved by the boss only the boss can approve a murder and there was a lot of discussion about I mean was taken very seriously weren't random killers I don't know where these people come from man but it's this is this that's that's really a dark side of the internet the dark web obviously is a place where you can find the worst of things but I will say it's also a place where people can find safety and kind of the privacy a lot of whistleblowers use it as a way of spreading documents some people you're on Facebook on it cuz they still want to be tracked I believe the New York Times has its own dark web site too you can find the worst of the worst but you can find some good too and so what I want to do with you is actually going to sell something on the dark web No okay the dark web is a place where some things get sold that people don't want to have sold mm-hmm so I want to sell something that would potentially you know might be a little incriminating or embarrassing for the both of us mm-hmm and I'm just wondering do you have any guilty pleasure songs oh god I I mean it's not gonna sound right because you know my chill form a mob guy and all that but you know I'm really into musicals that's that's my favorite kind of movie oh my god yeah Sound of Music till today that's my favorite movie of all time I mean to sound of every song in there I love and I'm singing around my house I sing with my kids they all think I'm out of my mind and crazy so one might say it would be quite embarrassing should a former mafioso be singing a sound of music I think so yes I think so this is our prop house we're just gonna go to the costume section about 25 some Austrian looking hats I will be Maria do I really need to wear this if my wife was sure I couldn't do this when it goes alive let me know because I'm gonna disappear for the day if you use it me up Michael white kids are gonna think I lost my mind are we saying anything we just what's the thing okay all right Captain Von Trapp yes sir my Maria oh okay Maria Anna won Michael and I have a video that we really don't want anyone to find that's for sure and so we would like to go through the process of listing it on the dark web so in case someone does really want to put in the effort to purchase it they can so you spent the weekend kind of already getting yourself established as a vendor yeah so the first biggest hurdle to get around is you need to put a bond down because it'll like filter out a lot of the scammers if you're putting $500 down upfront it's gonna stop a lot of people from just jumping on listing fake drugs getting money and then dipping out you have to pay 500 dollars you have to pay $500 the company would owe me money they don't want to pay for it then you owe me money on the company card so there's a vetting process to the basic stuff is like making sure that you're safe you're not scamming why not you have you your crypto wallet verified you have your PGP key verified like some semblance of your identification verified so you at least like know a little bit about use and they know that you are just essentially an honest vendor coming on when obviously Michael and I are very honest vendors obviously we just have one innocent video we'd like to put a for sale on the account so how do we list it do we want to put a title on here so people can find it yeah let me get really grabby leaked video it all caps ex mafia kingpin and Asian man oh and handsome Asian man handsome the heads of ex mafia kingpin and handsome Asian man caught singing Broadway musical I put on brackets very rare that's pretty good time waiting Michael that works yeah price how much do these things usually go for you would say this is a first you tell me what this is worth to you I'll tell you well I don't know of any other mob guy that ever did anything like this so there's got to be a pretty heavy price on this big price tag how badly do not want people to buy this very badly deep dark secret this belongs on the dark web for sure tell me what you've wanted for in US Dollars and will posted for sale with Manero which is a cryptocurrency it's a privacy coin oh man five hundred bucks three bucks all right that's just for five hundred bucks all right 6.07 Manero a feeling the FBI will try to buy this and that that's it my old reputation goes down the sewer but but in a good way I guess people who really knew I left that life behind now think about selling digital goods like this if we could have multiple people buying it if we felt like selling more than one of these because some more than one but we could just never know we might make some money off of this and if we don't deliver then we get a bad review we don't want a bad review we don't want a bad review and you know what this shows me quite honestly is that you know mob guys former mob guys it was a human side to us too we don't show it all the time on the street but you know this is all a good fun Michael wanted to do the honors it hit that list right here yeah just go ahead and click it there it is where the odds that we actually sell this thing probably not very high I'm sorry Michael that's okay well no that's good that's good the only one that's gonna buy this is me so that nobody else buys it that's it so I guess we just wait Jake thank you so much of course you are you're an expert I guess keep us posted on how things go you always say I'm an expert I'm just like the only person that this company that knows anything about it I'm very impressed I gotta be honest with you I would hire you back then well if you got any references yeah I do Michael thank you again for coming dark web your final thoughts on that just fascinating you know it's a whole new I mean I see it from a criminal standpoint I see from a legit it's just a whole new area that I was never aware of and now we have something listed on there together all right wish me how it goes all right man bye sir bye-bye take care take care that's my friend [Music]
