#206: 250.000.000 Million Dollar Gas Tax Fraud tied to Mob Families - Gabrielle Gilmore tells all - Part 5 - a podcast by Too Posh

In part 5 of Gabrielle's Mafia story she explains detailed information how Larry Iorizzo, Michael Franzese and her ex husband Peter Raneri pulled off the biggest gasoline tax fraud in history.
She talks about how they would have suitcases of money in their trunks, because they made up to $ 2,000.000 per week.
Gabrielle talks about Larry Iorizzo her friend, not the mobster and that he is Marcella's godfather.
She then reads an article that was written about him in 1994 that gives a little snapshot of who Larry Iorizzo was. His real name was Lawrence Salvatore Iorizzo. That is why Gino's middle name is Salvatore.

The $ 250.000.000 tax scheme was masterminded by the brilliant, genius brain that was Larry Iorizzo and was conducted with the involvement of all 5 main Mafia families of New York.
Special agent Tom Sullivan who Gabrielle met became a friend, as he also knew in his heart that Peter was really a restaurateur that got caught up in the Mob life.
We talk a little bit about Jeep Swenson who played Baine on Batman, but became a hitman for Peter and his Mob friends.
We learn about their indictment for loan sharking and racketeering and more details about how they ran this business and had they not been greedy they probably wouldn't have gotten caught.

We learn of a side story about Larry being a bigamist and the escapades at the Boca Raton house. We talk about how Noriega who was a close friend handed over Larry to the US government because he
was paid.
Bernie talks about how scary it has to be to have a contract out on your life.
We talk about some of Peter's shenanigans and what a comedian he was at times.
They lived a fast, big life with jets, yachts, mansions etc and never got in trouble because they paid everyone off for a long time.
We talk about when Michael Franzese, even though denying ever working with Larry had to turn himself in and was charged with 177 counts.
