Will the National Basketball Association (NBA) do anything about its gambling problems? Just how deep does this gambling scandal go, and how many others — players, coaches, referees and NBA officials — might be implicated over the months ahead?
Here, Michael Franzese takes a look. Franzese is a former mobster in the Colombo crime family in New York City.
It’s the one family that didn’t get wrapped up in the FBI’s recent raid involving rigged NBA games as well as related and equally rigged poker matches at New York townhomes.
I’m breaking down the NBA gambling scandal that just broke – Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and 34 others arrested in a massive FBI operation targeting four of the five New York families.
I ran 12 bookmakers for 30 years, so I know exactly how this works. Athletes are easy prey. They get in deep, owe money, then we own them. Rozier allegedly faked an injury to help inside bets. Billups was a “face card,” luring victims into rigged poker games with X-ray tables and card counting devices.
I’ve been warning the NBA, NCAA, and 300+ universities about this for decades. This won’t stop. Gambling is too lucrative and the mob is too smart. Here’s the real story behind Operation Zen Diagram and Operation Nothing But Net from someone who lived it: Michael Franzese.

The long awaited John F. Kennedy Files, or at least the remaining unredacted files, have finally been released on the orders of President Donald Trump. Many of the pages are still being digitized, but fascinating details are indeed emerging.
Kennedy’s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was apparently ‘recruited’ by a CIA agent, and was closely surveilled by the KGB when he lived in the USSR. Other revelations pertain to the Cold War and President Kennedy signing off on covert operations to destabilize Fidel Castro’s Cuba.
The entirety of the material is still being combed through, but for a deep dive into what we know, Piers Morgan has brought together former CIA covert operations officer Mike Baker, author and JFK expert Jefferson Morley, former CIA officer & whistleblower John Kiriakou and Michael Franzese, a former American mobster, for their expert opinions. here’s more from Piers Morgan’s show Uncensored.
With the release of the new JFK files a lot of people were expecting: “here is the smoking gun document!”
But there is so much in here that the media won’t mention or put together because it requires knowledge of the event, the people involved, organizations, different countries, and being able to read through hand written notes. After meticulously going through many documents and posts (without the help of Ai) we have put together a comprehensive list on who was behind the JFK murder and why it happened along with a $100K bounty.
Learn how Lee Harvey Oswald purchased the gun he used in the assassination from Interarmco, a CIA gun-running front. Also, none of the U.S. Secret Service records have been included. Have they all been destroyed? Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts from Edge of Wonder.
Are National Football League games really rigged? And how bad is it? Riss Flex takes a deep dive into the alleged corruption that has plagued the country’s most popular sports pastime for decades.
Flex features archival clips from the 1980s, featuring investigative journalist Dan Moldea, who said no less than 26 NFL owners at the time were connected to organized crime and the gambling community. During the same time period, an interview with former Mafia crime boss Michael Franzese revealed that teams were deliberately throwing games to pay their debts to the mob.
Fast forward to today and a recent clip of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who claims last season was scripted to accommodate the Kelce brothers (Jason, Philadelphia Eagles; and Travis, Kansas City Chiefs) to play against each other in the Super Bowl. And that was after the Bosa brothers (Joey Bosa, Los Angeles Chargers; and Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49ers) refused.
Here’s more with Flex, including the revelation of full-fledged game scripts, written before the season, and the discovery of magnets in footballs and player gloves.
Cocaine … shell companies … shady money from foreign oligarchs … cover-ups that go straight to the top of the federal government. It’s not a movie. It’s just another day in the life of the Biden Crime Family that would make Michael Corleone jealous. But despite MULTIPLE federal whistleblowers, FBI documents, testimony from Hunter Biden’s business partner and even BANK RECORDS that show millions of dollars being exchanged while Joe Biden was vice president, the Justice Department continues to look the other way.
Instead, prosecutors go after Donald Trump on RICO charges. But they’re missing the REAL “Don” here. You know him as Joe Biden. His family calls him “The Big Guy.” And Glenn Beck is tired of waiting: He breaks out the chalkboard to lay out a RICO case that the DOJ can’t refuse.
Also, he speaks with Michael Franzese, a former capo for New York’s Colombo crime family, who knows a thing or two about facing racketeering charges. He lays out why he believes the evidence against the Bidens would be a “slam dunk” in court. It’s time to build this case so we actually see RESULTS … and it goes directly to the godfather himself.
Meanwhile, Apple has removed Glenn Beck’s show on The Blaze from the Apple podcasts. No explanation was given for the blatant censorship. Apple is deeply embedded in Communist China, so it’s shocking the company would run its social media platforms so rigidly and in a clearly un-American fashion. Drop their podcasts and don’t ever buy any of Apple’s lousy computers. Here’s more from Tim Roth on Timcast.
Bodies resurfacing from Lake Mead, just east of Las Vegas, in recent weeks were more than likely connected to mob hits in the 1980s, according to local news reports. At least two bodies in 50-gallon barrels washed up on the shore of Lake Mead, which has receded to record levels, due to severe drought and rising temperatures.
Former Colombo Crime Family mob boss, Michael Franzese confirms that using 50-gallon drums was common for mobster hits. “Why, because they’re never going to show up again,” Franzese says. He relates that a reliable source told him that iconic labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa met his fate in a similar fashion. Could Lake Mead have been the final resting place for Hoffa? Here’s more with Franzese and judge the material for yourself.
