Netflix’s hit docuseries Get Gotti is trending worldwide, but how much of the streaming hit is actually accurate to the streets? Former Capo Michael Franzese breaks down the three-part documentary, reacting to the infamous Ravenite Social Club FBI wiretaps, the internal turf wars between law enforcement agencies, and the ultimate demise of the "Dapper Don." Michael completely debunks the popular media myth that John Gotti single-handedly brought down La Cosa Nostra, pointing instead to the massive historical impact of the Mob Commission Trial and the government's weaponization of the RICO Act that truly crippled the underworld.
Beyond analyzing the federal surveillance tactics and the controversial removal of legendary defense attorney Bruce Cutler, Michael shares intense personal stories regarding his own 83 FBI recordings and the strict rules of silence his father taught him to avoid self-incrimination. He also sets the record straight on the credibility of the show's "associates," defends John Gotti Jr. regarding the infamous seized "making list," and poses the ultimate tragic question of the underworld: when the federal pressure peaks, do you choose your biological family or your crime family?
