More about the Cohen-partner thug, Friedman, who was facing 25 years apiece
on multiple charges, but has possibly gotten off with only probation -- depending on how cooperative he is.
He's faced assault charges from his wife and claims of verbal threats from another business partner. And check out the lovely photos. (Especially the second one.)
I can imagine John Belushi playing him on SNL, but who would do it now?

Freidman — who has been in a downward spiral of debt, divorce and lawsuits — allegedly made the remark during a phone call last month to Savas Tsitiridis, who in a lawsuit is accusing the taxi-medallion magnate of ripping off a cab operation the two ran.
“You know who I am. Don’t f–k with me!” Freidman allegedly told Tsitiridis during the Jan. 13 call.
Tsitiridis, 57, who filed the suit last year, told cops the remark made him fear for his life.

The city’s taxi king slammed and choked his pretty young wife weeks before she filed for divorce, new court papers charge.
Eccentric multimillionaire Gene Freidman, 44 — who owns more taxi medallions than anyone in the city — shoved 24-year-old wife Sandra’s “body and head against a wall, [placed] both of his hands around her throat and [squeezed] her throat, causing pain and leaving redness around her neck” on March 5, according to the documents.
Freidman had just moved out of the couple’s tony East 65th Street town house the month before because his Parisian-bred wife wanted to party all the time, according to a source close to the taxi mogul. She filed for divorce weeks later.
Freidman faces three charges of criminal obstruction of breathing, attempted assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree.
