Are you familiar with an FBI agent named Lynn DiVecchio?

No.

Okay, he was indicted for murder, for murders.

I think more of your guys than my guys have been indicted for murder.

Absolutely, because we were criminals, but the FBI is supposed to be fining upstanding citizens that took an oath to protect people.

Your organization, you guys violated your oath or you wouldn't be here.

We were criminals.

We were criminals.

You can't compare us to the FBI.

If you compare us to the FBI, we're in a lot of trouble.

Hi, I'm Michael Francisi.

I'm a former cop regime in the Colombo family in New York, one of the five New York mafia families.

And today I'm surrounded by 20 cops.

All right, my first surrounded claim is undercover sting operations often manufacture crime.

Absolutely.

Well, what do you mean a reasonable person?

In my experience, the undercover operations were either an undercover law enforcement person or somebody, a confidential informant that was put into that situation.

That's not a fine upstanding person normally.

The undercover agent?

Absolutely.
