    It was like he had two families. The first time I was introduced to all of them at once, it was crazy. Paulie and his brothers had lots of sons and nephews. And almost all of them were named Peter or Paul. It was unbelievable. There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding. Plus, they were all married to girls named Marie.

    This was mentioned in the movie Goodfellas. The Mafia ripped off the Lufthansa cargo terminal at JFK Airport in 1978. Marty Krugman was killed, being he hounded Jimmy for his Lufthansa money. All the guys went out and bought cars such as Cadillacs and Lincolns. The cash disappeared by going to swanky restaurants, vacations, cars, clothing, houses, etc. The cash was untraceable.

    There's one detail missing, and that's Henry Hill telling Jimmy Burke about the tip. Jimmy Burke hated Krugman, he always thought he was suspicious and kept shortchanging him, he probably refused to listen to Krugman until Henry came down and told him about the plan. I understand it's pretty unrelated to the purpose of this episode but the crimes that put Burke away for the remainder of his life was the Boston College point shaving scandal which he did with Henry Hill, and his only official link to Lufthansa was the murder of Richard Eaton. Eaton was tortured, killed and hanged in a meat truck after he skimmed some money of the heist while it was being laundered. The money has never been found.

    Stacks was always crazy. Instead of getting rid of the truck like he was supposed to, he got stoned,
    went to his girlfriend's and by the time he woke up, the cops had found the truck. It was all over the television. They even said
    they came up with prints off the wheel. It was just a matter of tine before they got to Stacks.

    • @JohnS-er7jh
      @JohnS-er7jh Před rokem +15

      this robbery occurred in 1978, so security cameras were much less common back at that time. Also, this was not a bank or armored car facility. It was an air cargo warehouse facility that was used to transfer shipments/goods, and items were not held for long periods. it was currency that was being transported transferred from overseas that was spent my US military stationed in Germany, so it wasn't held for a long period. That is why having inside knowledge was needed of when the cash was coming in.

      What you talking about?. If they are successful criminals they would either do bigger Heist or Retire, so they don't end up in prison or dead.

      At 65 most are dead, so why bother. If they can have a good life before 40, it's worth taking the risk. And most get away with their crime, if they are lucky enough.

      Everything they already do draws the feds. They were already stealing/robbing cargo trucks from the JFK airport for decades. Just a few years before henry stole a suitcase full of money from airfrance at the same airport. So if you are already doing this why not hit it for a ton of money?
