About this listen

The Lufthansa heist, which took place on December 11, 1978, at John F. Kennedy International Airport, was the largest cash and diamond heist in U.S. history. The mob stole $5 million in cash and $875,000 in diamonds, which would be worth about $26 million today. The heist was planned and executed by a group of low-level criminals and the story was later immortalized in Martin Scorsese's 1990 film Goodfellas.
