Henry was friends with Paul son and he died, Henry was at his bedside every day until he passed and Paul never forgot it, that's how he got a pass until he became rat
It seems pretty evident Henry Hill made himself look a little better with a bit more influence and power in the story that ended up being the movie "Goodfellas". I'm not an authority on it, but even in the movie Jimmy (Conway in the movie) Burke is older and the leader of the crew calling the shots pretty much for he,Henry, and Tommy's escapades.
Best mafia UA-cam channel from a historical perspective!!! Please do an episode on Tony Accardo. He was my dad’s neighbor and worked with my dad’s uncle and cousins for years in Meat Factories in Chicago.
I listened to the good fellas audio book recently and that Henry hill was the biggest exploitation of the witness protection program, that guy McDonald really saved his ass. I don’t know how much I can believe of what he says but interesting to say the least.
Love your content, and the gent was super powerful and a savage, that being said "most powerful non Italian mobster of all time".... is sooo disrespectful to Meyer!
Goodfellas is my all time fave mob movie. Ray Liotta was advised not to communicate with Henry Hill before the movie but to play him as Scorsese directed. After the premier, he met Henry. Henry said... thanks for not making me look bad. Liotta either replies or thinks to himself ( I can't remember which) ...did you see the movie? lol Excellent inside view of Jimmy Burke. Thank you Jeff and Blackjack. 😁
Excellent little tid-bits Henry Hill talks about after he turned informant, especially Jimmy's story about his 'Mistress,' I never knew about that one. There is too much 'uh, umm, and you know,' I can do without that, I hear that on Jeopardy too much.
he WAS an unofficial capo who answered to a capo. i think he scared most "made" men. criminal-genius, scary, powerful, money-magnet... all shit that MAKES a boss regardless of being MADE.
When Henry Hill went to jail as a teenager in Goodfellas it was based on Henry going to jail when he was young Henry Hill spoke about that in a interview before
Great show. I don't mean to be that person, but my childhood was like Jimmy's. I think the worse is after my father refused to have anything to do with me. My mom would offen leave me places. People would find her or a relative and they would return me to her. Now that I think about it I could have been like Jimmy. In all seriousness he got delt a raw hand, but even if he hadn't I think he would have made the same choices. May he wouldn't have been as tough emotionally, but I strongly believe we all make our choices.
Yeah, who knows man. Nurture has a lot to do with the type of person you become, especially in your formative years. It could go either way really. Maybe he wouldn’t have gotten into that life had he had a loving family that instilled morals and whatnot. There’s also stories of people who come from good homes and choose to live a life of crime.
So in the end he got convicted of a murder for a cocaine dealer and swindler and for betting and fixing college games..... none of those are offenses to me
Kind of funny when you mentioned Jimmy Burke his mistress was Tommy DeSimone sister at the time she was only 16 years old when Jimmy was dating her...I thought the heist was $6 million in cash and $876 thousand dollars in jewelry..There was also a killing field they used right beside JFK Airport..Like you said behind Roberts Lounge... I also remember not that long ago they had a search warrant to dig up Jimmy Burke's basement to find more bodies even though Jimmy already passed away..Jimmy was also going to have Karen Hill killed if she walked into the building like they showed in Goodfellas she would have never came out...
Checkout this, In a sit down does all persons have to be seated? Is it literal? Or just a away of saying we gotta meet and straighten out things asap! Some sit but some might stand.
There's some great prison stories about Burke from a guy that was on the Fresh out podcast, funny story about him being the prison football coach and never wanting to do it lol
The most successful non Italian has to be meyer lansky before Jimmy Burke. Not to take away from Burke but lansky seemed to have more power and money... and lived out his life to enjoy it.
Bro, I'll most defiantly make the case that Jimmy Burke, yet a Gangster to the core, was not the most powerful "non Italian" Wiseguy of all time!! I mean, I'm not sure how yer calibrating yer claim, but going by the quote, from Jimmy himself, that you mention, He say's money is everything!! Which is true!! So with that being said..I'm pretty sure..Mr.Meyer Lansky holds that title down..I mean like firmly!! Shit ..Wikipedia has him labeled as a American Financier!! lol.. On the other hand, Burke is labeled simply as a Gangster..Like I said, not sure how yer ranking ? So let me know, if ya can, an good deal on the show..I watch it here an there..
I would love to how you would feel if your father worked his ass off and saved his money and opened up own business only to be shaken down by this guy.
You might appreciate family more so when you come from a background like that that might be the objective you create to build something I was adopted giving up and I was a baby and I think that's the best thing going on is your crew around you
Jimmy definitely was a tough guy but Tommy from what I heard was worst than Jimmy. Jimmy was only the leader cause he was there first of course he was older than Henry and Tommy and was there first.
How about a segment on the Detroit Partnership? The History on this organization is pretty damn crazy!! plus these guy's have NEVER been penetrated (in ways the five have been anyway) they did there dirt literally in the shadows
Tell him where he's wrong sounds like he pretty much ran New York in New Jersey that dude could damn near do anything and get away with it it's amazing you know how the mafia was blind to murders when came to money look at how many people he smoked in that latanza heist and you know some of those guys knew some pretty powerful people but he was never touched for smoking those guys so he must been one pretty powerful sob he had to have been yeah that would be one person that you would curse the person that introduced you to his ass
You can't make somebody what they are he was a cold blooded killer from the day he was born it isn't the environment you brought up in cuz I know a lot of people that pretty much went through a household it really didn't give two s**** about him they turned out pretty God damn good so you can't make something that they already are sorry
Henry was friends with Paul son and he died, Henry was at his bedside every day until he passed and Paul never forgot it, that's how he got a pass until he became rat
I didnt know that 👍🏾
Is that a lot of malarkey Melarkey? Or is that for real?
Didn't Paul sleep with Henry's wife lol
@@CADAVATV yep
What happened to all of the millions from the Lufthansa heist?

Great content Jeff, keep the stories flowing. Respect from Ireland as always brother. 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Agree. Blackjack adds nothing but ill-informed, babbling “like, 28 years old-like, you know. Like ..” boring interruptions.
One of my favorite episodes
So far
Great work
Thank you for the show Jeff and Black Jack... Great Show "The Sitdown"😉🎇
Great video guys! Jimmy is without a doubt one of the biggest legends in mob history! And wasn't even Italian.
Video wasn’t so great but the audio was pretty good
Always gotta give Jimmy his dues but you also can’t forget about the German
Really interesting again Jeff.i think with the content you're doing you'll be the best mob channel to watch..respect brother from Manchester UK 🇬🇧 👍
I appreciate that!
Great video!!!
I would have like 2 hear a little about years later them digging Burks house up??
Best mafia UA-cam channel from a historical perspective!!! Please do an episode on Tony Accardo. He was my dad’s neighbor and worked with my dad’s uncle and cousins for years in Meat Factories in Chicago.
We did. Check it out on our podcast platform on iTunes or Spotify
Tony Accardo...Working?? Maybe as a union "consultant" for the meat packers union, lol
I listened to the good fellas audio book recently and that Henry hill was the biggest exploitation of the witness protection program, that guy McDonald really saved his ass. I don’t know how much I can believe of what he says but interesting to say the least.
Id say Meyer Lansky was bigger. Best friend is Lucky Luciano, who listens and respect’s everything he says. And doesn’t end up in jail.
Y'all Did A Awesome Job Watch It From Start To Finish
thanks for listening
Love your content, and the gent was super powerful and a savage, that being said "most powerful non Italian mobster of all time".... is sooo disrespectful to Meyer!
thank you, lol
GREAT CONTENT !!! Better than most UA-cam channels
Awesome story 👏
I would definitely say Jimmy was the biggest non Italian involved with the families the only comparison may be Joe Watts
What a great show ! Thanks a lot ! Love your videos !
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks!!
What video you only hear talking
@@richogorman9259 I don’t understand what your asking Rich. Thanks
Great information Gentlemen, keep up the great work 👍🏾
Great stuff. Very interesting. Thanks bud.
I find Burke fascinating. I love Deniro's performance.
Goodfellas is my all time fave mob movie. Ray Liotta was advised not to communicate with Henry Hill before the movie but to play him as Scorsese directed. After the premier, he met Henry.

Awesome content
Thanks for sharing, jimmy was a legend, well respected by all families.
Couldn't agree more
Sure he was a real great guy he kill you in a heartbeat
Awesome guys💪👍💯 I’m catching up with the genre, there’s so much !!!
Great show, one of my favorites
Jimmy was a true leader. What could have done with those leadership skills in legitimate business?
I've always wondered that.
Not much at all I think, I mean you don’t have the option to just kill off your employees because they displease you
@@tommyphil4713 frowned upon in the business world.
Don't let your wife turn up at the Christmas office party wearing a new mink coat.
Nothing. He died in prison. He was a true scumbag.
Excellent little tid-bits Henry Hill talks about after he turned informant, especially Jimmy's story about his 'Mistress,' I never knew about that one. There is too much 'uh, umm, and you know,' I can do without that, I hear that on Jeopardy too much.
Ya as an Irish man. I really love the jimmy burke saga... Bad motor scooter
he WAS an unofficial capo who answered to a capo. i think he scared most "made" men. criminal-genius, scary, powerful, money-magnet... all shit that MAKES a boss regardless of being MADE.
Can you do an episode on the Lufthansa heist? Or myer lansky? Or both? Haha love the videos man thank you for all the great research you do!
we did meyer on our podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-28-meyer-lansky/id1561478045?i=1000542161668

Were you beaten and sexually abused daily? I doubt it so stop saying your life is the same as someone's else. Grow up.
Yeah, who knows man. Nurture has a lot to do with the type of person you become, especially in your formative years. It could go either way really. Maybe he wouldn’t have gotten into that life had he had a loving family that instilled morals and whatnot. There’s also stories of people who come from good homes and choose to live a life of crime.
Great video I would love to hear you cover Neil Dellacroce. Subscribed from UK
So in the end he got convicted of a murder for a cocaine dealer and swindler and for betting and fixing college games.....
none of those are offenses to me
I feel Jimmy Burke is what people think John gotti was as a ganster ! But gotti wasn’t half the brain Burke was
Meyer Lansky a more successful associate ?
which we mentioned.
Kind of funny when you mentioned Jimmy Burke his mistress was Tommy DeSimone sister at the time she was only 16 years old when Jimmy was dating her...I thought the heist was $6 million in cash and $876 thousand dollars in jewelry..There was also a killing field they used right beside JFK Airport..Like you said behind Roberts Lounge...

Who was Jimmy's father? Was he Irish?
He was a boss without portfolio.....
A+++ Content.
Is the screen supposed to be blank the whims time or is it my phone ?
What happened to all of the money from the Lufthansa heist?
Tommy is a must! 💯💯💯
How do u know this info?
Checkout this, In a sit down does all persons have to be seated? Is it literal? Or just a away of saying we gotta meet and straighten out things asap! Some sit but some might stand.
I heard ..Jimmy said the more the money the more the problems
I really enjoyed this episode, great story!
Good stuff, Gentlemen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks this was great from 🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
I think Pauli ran a crew in canarsi park 2
Have u ever though of doing a video on Jimmy the gent ??
There's some great prison stories about Burke from a guy that was on the Fresh out podcast, funny story about him being the prison football coach and never wanting to do it lol
no pictures??
Awesome!!!
How come there is no video?
Meyer lansky....wasnt he a non-italian mobster
What happened to Burke's money, should have been a ton of it.
did he say death nail? 😆 22:28
what about myer lanskey
That kind of messed up childhood can really mode and shape a cold hearted adult !!!!!!!
thanks for watching... enjoy
@@thesitdownwithjeffnadu Very good videos 📹
Why aren't you on camera????
The most successful non Italian has to be meyer lansky before Jimmy Burke. Not to take away from Burke but lansky seemed to have more power and money... and lived out his life to enjoy it.
Jimmy "The Irish Guinea" Burke
History Buffs separates fact from fiction in historical films. He did a great review of Goodfellas.
I’m sorry but laying bricks does not build a good physique

Totally agree!!! Meyer Lansky may have been the most powerful of them all!!! Forget Burke!, and forget Joe Watts!!
All of those mobsters were scum bags. They weren't any more honorable than Henry Hill.
Jo Watts was another he was Welsh not German
correct
He was German-Welsh.
@@Luton-Mick no his family were from wales
Jimmmmmmyyyyyy
basically
Jimmy----Frank and James sons-----Hopalong Che Si Dice
1960s and 1970s---free love time even in the mafia
I would love to how you would feel if your father worked his ass off and saved his money and opened up own business only to be shaken down by this guy.
wasn't cocaine henry hill had it was heroin
Jeff, the advertisment sucks and hurts the story.
You might appreciate family more so when you come from a background like that that might be the objective you create to build something I was adopted giving up and I was a baby and I think that's the best thing going on is your crew around you
Jimmy definitely was a tough guy but Tommy from what I heard was worst than Jimmy. Jimmy was only the leader cause he was there first of course he was older than Henry and Tommy and was there first.
Isn't 9/11 the biggest heist in US history?
Also the biggest insurance fraud in history.
How about a segment on the Detroit Partnership? The History on this organization is pretty damn crazy!!
plus these guy's have NEVER been penetrated (in ways the five have been anyway) they did there dirt literally in the shadows
Burke a legend. But hes not even close to top non Italian guys. Murray Humphreys more powerful that 95% of Ny Cosa bosses
Henry was nothing but a Rat.
Respect these guys? Not so sure about that.
Nice interview and show.
So who is worse, Burke or Trump?
Settle down Karen. Take your meds.
TEFLON DON lives rent free in your HEAD
The Biden crime family
Sneaky irish
Tell him where he's wrong sounds like he pretty much ran New York in New Jersey that dude could damn near do anything and get away with it it's amazing you know how the mafia was blind to murders when came to money look at how many people he smoked in that latanza heist and you know some of those guys knew some pretty powerful people but he was never touched for smoking those guys so he must been one pretty powerful sob he had to have been yeah that would be one person that you would curse the person that introduced you to his ass
You can't make somebody what they are he was a cold blooded killer from the day he was born it isn't the environment you brought up in cuz I know a lot of people that pretty much went through a household it really didn't give two s**** about him they turned out pretty God damn good so you can't make something that they already are sorry
