Then General Cortés Vargas gave them 5 minutes to leave the plaza. When they didn't, the army fired. The bodies went on trains to the sea. For decades the official story was: "There were no dead." Until a politician held up a child's skull in congress, and a novelist made the world remember.

Then his father, Colombo underboss Sonny Franzese, sanctioned a hit on him.

In this episode we break down the “daisy chain” that made Michael the most profitable earner in the Mafia since Capone, the 177-count indictment that forced him to choose between prison and the code, and the moment the FBI told him his own father signed off on his murder.

We also cover John Franzese Jr, the first son of a NY mob boss to testify against his father in open court, and the quiet reconciliation with Sonny before he died at 103.

It’s a story about money, loyalty, and what happens when “family” means the crime family first.

Reporters watched him pour water, add a few green drops, and drive a car for 30 minutes at 30 mph. The scent of bitter almonds filled the air. The wires lit up. And Henry Ford, desperate to break the “Standard Oil octopus,” sent $10,000 and a brand-new Model T.

In this episode we break down the mechanics of the scam: acetone, acetylene, and the chemistry that looked like alchemy but destroyed engines from the inside. We follow Enricht’s playbook: paranoia, sealed envelopes, German spies, and a million-dollar offer from Hudson Maxim that he never intended to deliver.

It’s a story about chemistry, charisma, and how even the greatest innovator can be blinded by a dream that looks exactly like the one he’s chasing.
