Former New York Chinatown Gangster REVEALS the Chinese Gang Underworld​

Sep 2, 2025 Sit Down with Michael Franzese
This is one of the only times I’ve ever sat down with a true insider from Chinatown’s underworld. Meet Michael Moy—once a feared Fuk-Ching enforcer, turned decorated NYPD detective.
We’re pulling back the curtain on the real, hidden world of Chinese street gangs: incense-lit blood oaths, Dai Lo kingpins, $110,000-a-week gambling dens, and the brutal betrayals and shootouts you never saw in the headlines. Mike survived it all—gunfights, RICO sweeps, and the night a friend died in his arms—before risking everything to join the other side of the law.
Why did he walk away? What did he see that changed everything? And what secrets is he about to reveal, straight from files that once stayed locked in NYPD evidence rooms?

The Florida Divorcée’s Guide to Murder​

Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors inspired a triple murder and led to a major First Amendment case. Still, the book is just one chapter in the bizarre story of its author, “Rex Feral,” a 77-year-old great-grandmother wrestling with decades of guilt and living anonymously—until now.

I. Ghosts
For nearly 30 years, Gayle McCool has had a recurring dream about three people she’s never met. She is in a quiet cul-de-sac, outside a grand brick house with a picket fence encircling the yard. Yellow police tape winds through the white wooden spikes. Two grown women and a young boy stand on the sidewalk, facing her. The boy calls out her name.

McCool forces herself to look at him and says, “But I thought you couldn’t talk. You were killed by someone who read my book.”

“I can talk now,” the boy says, “and even walk.” He stands and pushes his wheelchair, smiling as it tumbles down the street.

The mafia hitman who dreamt of being a pop star​

In January of 2016, Avner Harari strolled out of a Tel Aviv prison for the umpteenth time and announced he was finally going straight. The convicted assassin, who has a smooth, bald head and mischievous eyes, had spent 40 of his 61 years behind bars and had cultivated a reputation as the Israeli mafia’s “Terminator”. Now, Harari hoped that people might forget the six mobsters that police allege he whacked, as he unveiled an unlikely career change. “I was a criminal in the past,” he admitted in a television interview. “But thank God, I’m a musician now.”Harari had spent his most recent prison term crooning songs in the Mizrahi style, a Middle-Eastern music that Israelis have adopted with the same fervour as falafel. His lilting voice was so angelic that inmates nicknamed him the Nightingale. Free from his cage after serving 37 months for firing an anti-tank missile at a rival crime boss and six years for conspiring to shoot another with a silencer, he released two tender ballads. In “A New Page” he sang: “I’m a man who pursues honesty and justice.” He hoped to perform a new album at the historic Caesarea theatre, where King Herod hosted gladiator fights 2,000 years ago, or at the modern Yad Eliyahu Arena where, more recently, Alicia Keys has performed. “I am fulfilling my dream,” he told the media.

The Real Day in the Life of a Former Mob Boss​

You’ve asked me hundreds of times - what was a day in my life as a mobster compared to now? I’m finally breaking it down completely. From my recruit days reporting to Brooklyn every single day, to sitting through 13 months of trials, to running my crew and the gas scam that made millions weekly. I’ll tell you about my crazy guy Frankie G - the boat accident that nearly killed him and why he was upset he DIDN’T get indicted. How I balanced family, business, and mob life - and why I failed at it. The helicopter rides to court, the late nights in clubs, the constant meetings. Then prison changed everything. Now at 74, my priorities are God and family first. This Halloween marks 50 years since I got made. Here’s the real story of both lives.
