About this listen
In December 1978, a crew of mobsters slipped into JFK Airport and pulled off the largest cash robbery in American history.
They stole nearly $6 million in unmarked bills and jewels from a Lufthansa vault — and vanished before sunrise.
Behind the job was Jimmy Burke, the real-life inspiration for Goodfellas’ Jimmy Conway.
But what should have been the perfect score quickly turned into a bloodbath as Burke began eliminating anyone who might talk.
This episode takes you inside the heist that shook New York — from the planning inside Robert’s Lounge to the FBI investigation and the chain of murders that followed.
A story of greed, loyalty, and how one night at the airport rewrote organised-crime history.
