He was apparently looking at 40 years Thats what the feds told him and the fucking idiot believed them.The feds will tell you your looking at 10 years if you steal a pencil if they want you to flip.The reason they didn't let him apparently copout to 20 years is because they didn't give a fuck about him the real prize was Vinny and Ronnie.A low level thug like gene is no prize for the FBI.Also i dont believe gene offered to do 20 years i think 10 years would of been the copout.Their was no murders or high level drug kingpin status on his resume so why would he do 40 years.He was realistically looking at 15 years he would of been out in 13. Ronnie who was a millionaire capo got 14

When they had Luisi and Arilotta on, Gene tried to kind of entice the other guys to say no one really respected you unless you were a shooter. He was subliminally trying to get them to take a shot at Franzese, but all of them, even Alite, was like “the ultimate gangsters were shooters *and* earners”, and you could kinda tell Gene was deflated that they didn’t pick up on what he was trying to get at.

Lol that was the funniest part when gene is trying to get them to agree with him. And they basically didnt know wtf hes even really talking about.

And then hes constantly saying"ppl are allways so surprised about the crimes iv committed " pretty much trying to get the point of how ruthless and tough he is...

But the crazy thing is... Micheal franz.... okay maybe he didnt kill anyone... but he also made MILLIONS .... or whatever.... a week/month which no doubt quadrupled what gene ever made.

Gene constantly has to talk shit on Micheal bc Micheal isnt counted as a snitch like at the end of the day gene is.

He’s a street thug, and nothing more. Any guy who commits a home invasion, unless it’s to take out a child predator or someone who’s hurt your family, is bottom of the barrel and should rot in prison.

The "It's for the kids" line is a bunch of BS. It's become almost an afterthought. What "kids" are they referring to anyway?

As for Borrello, I guess it depends on what you mean by a "legitimate OC guy." He was an associate. Had family who were members or associates of the Gambinos back in the day. With Ronnie G's crew. But he was typical blue collar worker bee. He basically did collections, payouts and general strong arm work for the crew, while doing his own robberies on the side.

He's never claimed to be made when he wasn't. Though he does say Vinny Asaro wanted him made before Vinny went to prison but Ronnie nixed it. One of the reasons for Gene's eternal hatred for him.

Amershire_Ed wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 8:09 pmYeah my issue with Gene is his obsession with Franzese. Don’t get me wrong I think Franzese has inflated his stats so to speak. But the way Gene talks about him, it just seems so....promotional. Like a rapper trying to start beef with someone more popular for record sales. He’s tried to squeeze a dig into Franzese in almost every interview they’ve done.

Hootie said in his interview with Bek that Gene was being recruited by crews in the Gambino and Genovese family before he decided to go with Ronnie. I don’t doubt Gene was willing to put in work. I mean the one hit he was sent on, he was the backup shooter and ended up being the only guy shooting because the other guy froze up. I just think A) he clearly misses the life and B) he should let the Franzese stuff go
