    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.

    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. 😁

    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.

    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...

    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..
