NBA & The Mob — Michael Franzese Exposes the Gambling Scandal
About this episode
Former mob boss Michael Franzese joins Joe Pags to break down the shocking new NBA gambling scandal — involving recent arrests of New York crime families and pro athletes accused of rigging poker games and leaking insider info on injuries to tilt betting odds.
Franzese explains how these operations work, why it mirrors old-school mob tactics, and what this means for professional sports today.
It’s true crime meets sports corruption — straight from someone who lived it.
