Michael Franzese addressed longstanding rumors about his involvement in a notorious murder case. The speculations revolved around the killing of Larry Cardoza, also known as "Champagne Larry," who was rumored to have had an affair with Franzese's sister. Despite implications by an informant, Franzese clarified that neither he nor his father had any involvement in Cardoza's murder. The incident remains shrouded in mystery, as police never identified Cardoza's killer. Franzese also discussed his past crimes, confirming the massive scale of the gas fraud operation, which allegedly defrauded $2 billion from the government. Yet, he disputed the accuracy of this figure, emphasizing the significant sums involved without agreeing to such an astronomical number.
