    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.

    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.

    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 Рік тому +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.

      I hear you. Once Burke discovered how much it was. He could of took 1.5 to 2 million. $1.5 million in 1979 is like over $5 million in today's money. Take my cut, tell them where the can pick up their's and secretly skip town.

    Why would this guy Warner buy brand new van so soon after the heist. That was real stupid.

      Never announced it was recovered. Probably the feds recovered it and lined their own pockets with it. Or Jimmy spread it wide among his goodfellas

      Who was the Jewish dude on Goodfellas who kept nagging Jimmy for his share of the money, so they shot him and his wife in the car?
      If someone kept nagging anybody like that, any of us would do the same thing!!
