In this clip, Michael Franzese opens up about the scheme he created when he defrauded the government out of taxing the gasoline he sold, where at one point he was selling half a billion gallons of fuel a month while earning approximately $10 million a week. During this time, he mentions that because his scheme was so lucrative he was able to sell cheap gas to all his customers, thus earning himself a reputation of being the Robin Hood of his community. Additionally, with respect to knowing that one day he’d get caught, he said that they give you the same prison time whether you steal a million or a billion so you might as well take as much as you can get.
