The Big heist(Lufthansa) was the biggest cash robbery on American soil at the time. In 1978, $5 million in cash and $875,000 in jewelry were stolen from Lufthansa at JFK airport. This heist is known for having the largest successful cash robbery at an airport, as well as being one of a few high profile non- Mafia large scale heists considered to have been planned by Jimmy Burke, a Lucchese crime family associate. Although Jimmy Burke was not convicted because no solid evidence could tie him directly to the event, his involvement with this robbery is widely considered fact.

This was such a game changer in security. They made sure nothing like this would ever happen again.
Kind of.... But look at what those guys did back in like 2005. They only too $7 million. But they could have got MUCH more. All they did was walk in and walk out.
That was at Miami International Airport.
9/11 is what changed EVERYTHING.
"This was such a game changer in security. They made sure nothing like this would ever happen again."
Sometimes you just have to wonder why do things have to go wrong before they fix it?
If i where to hazard a guess as to why, it would be until it happens, its just a potential and it hasn´t happened to you.
So no reason to worry about it, you can get tons and tons of warnings and near misses, but until the event actually happen it will get treated as if it hasn´t happened.
And if it hasn´t happened yet, there is no reason to worry about it or do anything about it.
they never expected to get anywhere near that amount. it was both winning the jackpot and getting a poison chalice at the same time.
@@Erikjust You point out correctly how we human behave differently to potential hazards versus real consummate facts.
Nicholas Pileggi's 1985 book "Wiseguy" is the source material for the movie. The heist was conceived b/c - as Michael states - an airport employee was in debt to a bookmaker. As Pileggi wrote, the actual heist went almost perfectly. The problems began because the heist was SO perfect, law enforcement IMMEDIATELY understood it was an "inside" job. It didn't help that lots of hangers-on started bragging to their wives (or mistresses) that they were owed a chunk of the score.
Mr Franzese sit downs just get better and better..I know you will ..keep up the great work..God bless you and your family..take care
We are really blessed to hear these stories. Thank you with all my heart.
Finally a video on Lufthansa. Thanks for the great content Michael. From one sicilian who's alot younger to another i love hearing about that era that my uncles used to tell me all about#
He is not a sicilian .. his paternal grandparents were from naples
Micheal it’s such a blessing to have a man of your knowledge here with us today.
@@michaelfranzese have you ever visited the UK? If so, what are your thoughts on the Kray Brothers? the 1960’s London gangsters.
Let me tell you something about Michael. He supports Andrew Tate, an abuser of women. Remember that when you praise him.
First time I have ever heard of "The Big Heist." I may be naïve but when I listen and observe you telling your fascinating stories I am thinking I just can’t imagine Michael Franzese doing anything wrong. You are one very interesting and highly intelligent man, and I could listen to you all day. You are a great inspiration to many of us out here and express important lessons in life. You are wise beyond your years. Yes, Michael, you are still young! Stay safe, take care, and God Bless You, Michael!
My old man drove truck for 30 some odd years. I used to go out with him during the summer. We went through Queens for some reason. He poi ted out a house owned by Jimmy Burke, where his wife still lived. And as rumor had it. The cash from this heist was still in that house.
I was born on the 9th of December 1978 and was 2 days old when this robbery occurred on the 11th. 15 years later I was sent to Borstal for a bungled armed robbery and similar types of scallywag behaviour. Crime pays but the piper must also be paid and always knocks for his cut, even if it's the greatest commodity of all, time.
It’s insane knowing that stuff like this is real. Criminals like that, on a level of crime committing that’s not seen today, were real people.
It's all on Computers anymore. And ofcourse politicians.
@@texassportsoutdoors I’m inclined to agree with you Sir
It’s still happening. Plenty of banks and armored cars still get robbed. Hell the cops in California have been robbing the armored cars. It’s illegal to pull over an armored car I love how the feds look the other way.
@@texassportsoutdoors and drugs. the methods they use to transport and make drugs are highly complex.
Living legends bro word is pigs still looking for this loot
Hope everything is well Michael ! Have a great day ! God bless you and yours ! Love the channel you give us so much knowledge I appreciate it
Carbone was frozen so solid they had to thaw his body for 3 days to do the autopsy!!! 😂 God Bless from The Bronx Michael! Have a great weekend! 👊🙏🇺🇸
Why yes he was ~ 😉
Michael “I knew every wise guy that ever existed fairly well” Franzese 😁
@nomad101. Dude U realize all these guys were around his time and all come from the same neighborhoods. It’s not that unbelievable especially if you know nyc
@@Nomad-cd2my it’s seems like that’s what the mafia is about. Hanging out in night clubs, social clubs, gambling parlors. In other words “networking”. It seems like all the mobsters from the same era make a point of getting to know each other.
👋😂👉🥶lmfao!
When they talk about the heist in Goodfellas; Jimmy, Henry and Frenchie, that is one of my all time favorite scenes! Thanks so much, Mr. Franzese! The content is better & better each week. Identity theft is brutal!
Nah that’s the Airline France heist back in 63
My dad's friend was a jewelery dealer. Anytime his international stuff was routed through new York it had a significant increase in "disappearing"
Hi Michael love these Videos mate keep up with the good work and hope you and your family are doing well
This heist will stand the test of time and will not be forgotten for obvious reasons. Thank you for your insight
Shortly after this the record for the largest bank heist was broken in Lakewood Washington of all places. It was for 6.5 million.
Hi Michael,
There’s a great TED talk by Frank Abagnale Jr. (“Catch Me if You Can”) about his life. Well worth watching. Later in the speech, he talks about identity theft, credit card number theft, etc. Still an employee with the FBI, he really lays it on the line about what’s happening now and the horrors of the future when it comes to these types of crimes. Again, well worth watching.
God Bless.
Leo Dicaprio plays Frank in biopic with Tom Hanks who plays FBI agent who goes after Frank.
That guy is my grandmothers cousin, although they moved from Italy after my side of the family so they only met once
@mysterytrain3
Mystery Train? Like the Record Store? Anyway, a guy could do Check scams and Postal Money Order/Stamp scams back the like Frank did. Like most things those days are over.
frank is a phony btw
@@heloisaalmeida1243 The FBI doesn't think so. It took a while for them to accept him, but, eventually, they did.
I liked this before I even watched it because I knew it was going to be another awesome content with Mike
“ Fugettaboutitt”!!
I’ve only recently stumbled upon your channel. Occasionally you’d pop up in my feed but never dove in. Man am I happy I did recently. Top tier work sir.
That ad was done very smoothly, it's rare for an ad to be interesting and informative. Thanks for that
That was an amazing transition into an advertisement, I’ll actually consider signing up with them because of your pitch. Unlike other RUclipsrs who shove an ad down your throat.
Absolutely fantastic as always Michael. Could you please do a video on Jimmy Burke? I've always been fascinated by him given the power and sway he held throughout the 5 families while being Irish. By all accounts his was an extremely intelligent man and his propensity to generate huge wealth for the Lucchese's is well documented.
It would be amazing to hear your thoughts on him, his personality and any anecdotes of your time spent with him / his circle.
Thank you so much again. Amazing content
Mike doesnt like the Irish
It’s crazy that his real last name is Conway, Burke is his adoptive name but he took it in as his own because he had disowned his original family.
You, sir, are a fantastic storyteller. And the warning about identity theft is very prescient. My info was compromised in the OPM data breach several years ago. I have had to completely lock down my credit information, and it is a royal pain to temporarily open that up for a specific purpose (credit check, etc.) with whichever bureau the provider is using.
Every episode you do, no matter the content, is living history!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your insights!!! God bless you my friend!
Michael, I love your stories about your life in the mafia but most of all I love the fact that you have turned your life around. And I mean that you are here to tell these stories not to just to entertain us but to teach us. And most importantly that you are alive and well and not doing massive amounts of time in prison, missing or killed. Thank you Michael for everything you do and share with the community.
Amen !
I knew Robert "Frenchy" McMahon. I worked with Frenchy at Air France. Being Italian, Frenchy introduced me at Robert's Lounge to those you saw in Goodfellows. I don't drink and was not very sociable, perfering to be by myself more so nothing came from it. It makes you wonder how things could have been different if I took a different path.
Hello sir, I'm a recent discoverer to your channel and I luv it. Keep em comin my man. Much respect and praise be to the most high...
Thank YOU, MR Franzese for This and ALL of your informative content !
It was too damn big. Put way too many targets on those guys backs. Maybe don’t do a crime so high profile that you don’t feel comfy spending the money. Asking street dudes to be careful with money? Come on now. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.
they never knew they were gonna get anywhere near that much. it was both winning the jackpot and a poison chalice at the same time.
They shoulda just left New York for 6-12 months until the heat dies down
Thanks, Michael. Also, what about the Isabella Stewart Gardner heist? As an artist, I would love to have Michael Franzese share his insight on THAT.
@@michaelfranzese Would love this!
Should check out the Netflix limited series on it
@@welcometothemovies9157 a very good watch!
Not much to add that is not already known. Happened in Boston so Michael can only add conjecture.
I haven't heard of that, I think. Gotta check out.
When big robberies are planned the robbery is always the easy part , The difficult part is the aftermath that's when things go bad.
Good one Michael. I am a Big Fan of Goodfellas and the Lufthansa Heist story, it was actually the day before i was born. I was born December 12, 1978.
Good insight on this Michael. Your stories and insights are in the top 3 on RUclips, Sammy is in there too. Thanks again and i love your business sense. Your the mobster i would want to do business with.
@@michaelfranzese Yes i did. Unfortunately I was locked up at Coleman USP 2 Florida and hanged with the Notorious Whitey Bulger a lot.( I kept his company like he was my Grandpa ). We was watching Goodfellas one day and 30 minutes into the movie he rolled out with his wheelchair saying he cant stand Henry Hill. I don't know if it was because Henry was doing the Collage basketball point shaving scam in " his City " and he did not get a cut of it.
Keep up the great work Sir. Love the context and fact vs fiction you provide on the movies we all love.
God Bless .
Always love the videos Michael! I love watching every single video solely from your knowledge and insight, hope your family and you are doing good!
I am off work recovering from Covid this week, and reviewing much of the content on the channel. New York really has a fascinating history. Thanks for all this insight Michael.
Aren't you the card sharp, the pimp, the country club golf hustler???
One of the best channels on you tube. There aren't many guys who can just sit in a chair and make a story interesting. I truly hope you are able to bring together the film or tv series about your life. It sounds like it would be fascinating. Brian DePalma is still around. Maybe he could use the work.
Good Fellas is a great film, right up there in my top five films for sure. Great insight too Michael, so thanks
Take care young man and top regards to you, Jon.
It always amazed me that Henry Hill wasn't whacked after the testimony he gave, He was all over the place for a few years before he died.
Well when he did that he put 50 ppl in jail and they nearly got him twice
Great post Micheal I was 17 years old and living in NY and I remember seeing it on the news and my dad showing me the article in the NY Daily news.
Mr Franzese,always a pleasure!
Michael I discovered your channel this week you have me hooked very interesting and enjoyable to listen to. God bless you and your family
Thank you for all the videos Michael.. you're knowledge and sincerity has helped myself and many others.
Michael i love your livestreams very much, i grew up in the East New York section of Brooklyn and i knew some of the people who were involved in this. i had three older brothers one of them ran with some of these people. i remember wheb JFK was called idelwilde airport and that place was always open for buisness for truck heists and i know alot of it was inside stuff . mob guys had relations who worked out there and would tell all about the good stuff coming into the airport.
You’re the best, thank you for all of the advice, stories, and information! God bless you Michael!
The intro on all Michael's videos is what's best about this whole damn thing!!
Sometimes the past is just so sweet to sit back and think about, it's hard to be as excited about the future.
Very cool that you knew all these guys especially Jimmy! Was the bookmaker you referred to that gave the tip Martin Krugman? Stacks had one job....😂 Thanks Michael, I love this movie! Great to hear the full story. God bless you!
@@michaelfranzese Thank you!
I love how Michael conducts his videos and his sincerity. Good guy
Michael, you are terrific. Love watching your videos. Love listening to your stories. You have an excellent way of narrating them. Thank you.
Grateful you're still here Mr. Franceze telling these stories. Have you considered interviewing the son of one of the members of the Rizzuto family aka the sixth family? He is a close personal friend of mine who also exited the life.
I had the pleasure of meeting you last week Mr. Franzese at a speaking event just outside of Syracuse. First of all it was fantastic to hear your story live. I'm from Rochester NY and I had asked you if you knew any members of the Rochester crime family that split from Buffalo and then split into two factions here. I would love to see you do a video on the Buffalo and Rochester split. Those guys really took it to the streets against each other and its fascinating how it all came about. Would love to see some content on this if possible. Thank you for what you do and thanks for being kind, humble, and genuine in person. It was a pleasure meeting you.
yes excellent movie have it on dvd jimmy burk was mastermind behind it great video god bless you n family as always
MIchael, I know you do not glorify your past, but I gotta say this. Everytime I hear you say, how much you scammed off the government, I smile so much. Thank you man!
Love this video! Great work my friend! Hope you and your family have a great rest of the week and weekend! God bless, always!
5:15 That Identity Theft segment that you used to then lead into the advertisement was flawless. Great execution.
Thank you for your videos Mr. Franzese! God bless you and your family. Looking forward for your book. Wishing it would be available here in the Philippines once its out swiftly.
Jimmy Burke had some reputation, even among Italians. not many people that weren't made had the power and influence that he had among made men.
He was of Irish decent, what are ye gonna do!
@@JJ-sj3ke that's the whole point.
@@roymunson1 obviously pal, I was being light hearted in my response. God bless
Yeah it was among the Italians, real greaseball shit
@@JJ-sj3ke you're a funny guy!
Thank you, Michael, for a bit of inside info. I do have memories from when this heist occurred. I thank God for bringing you out of that life safe and well. I thank Him as well for helping me find you. Stay safe and God Bless You and your family.
Just found your channel, love it so far.
Did you know anyone from Scranton PA or Pittston PA who were apart of Buffalinos crew?
Always been a fan of Goodfellas and watching the documentaries of the real life. These sessions you give us are incredible. 🤘💯
Hey Micheal, thank you for the video, I was wondering if you could do one on who may have been the most powerful mob associates that could not be made, like jimmy coonan, or jimmy burke, or Joe watts
Keep up the good work
Love your videos Michael! Always a pleasure.
Dam I never got into hearing heist stories but this one interest me. Really like the video michael.
There are actually (at least) 3 movies about "The Big Heist": "The Big Heist" in 2001, "The Ten Million Dollar Getaway" in 1991, & of course "Goodfellas" in 1990
Congratulations on getting 800k+ subscribers! Thanks for another enjoyable video, Mr. Franzese!
Love this story and this content. Thanks Michael! Just passing this along the Jimmy Burke caption is under a pic of Henry Hill.
This goes without saying but we all love your content . Was waiting for this one.
Interesting! I knew about the airport heist and marveled at how on earth it was pulled off. Michael, like you, I am a believer in our Lord Christ. Something I figured out at about the age of 40 is that it was a lot easier to make a plan if it was for a sinful purpose (like stealing, killing etc.) I could easily come up with ideas for a scheme, but and it was much harder to do the right things! I believe old satan sows seeds (thoughts, ideas, opportunities) for bad purposes because he LOVES to see us serve him. So he makes it easy for us to wrong which we do if we are doing anything that doesn't honor God. But to offset the difficulty of being good , we are blessed with His grace when we honor him with our actions. Love you guy... thanks for your caring and sharing!
Michael what do you think of anthony raimondi, he said he was part of this heist and he said that you weren’t what you said you are, I love you though Michael god bless you and your family, your the man
Good sit down as always, very good insight too
God bless you Michael
Really enjoy this inside look. Thank you!
Thank you for your content Mr. Franzese. Very consistent and always entertaining. I wish I had your gift for speaking
Thanks for sharing Michael! I have Goodfellas on dvd. One of my favorite movies. God Bless!
Excellent commentary,,,,, Another great sit down!! Your Alright Michael!!👍👍👍👍👍
I'm Outrageously Relaxed and Very Humble.Thanks Mr.Micheal.
Great show Michael I look foreword to the next one thank you
Just finished reading Wiseguy a couple days ago. Happened upon this video today. Great video!
Imagine the thrill of returning to the base after completing that heist successfully
Love This!!..Thanks for Sharing Michael ❤...
Awesome video Michael
Michael- congrats on the success of your channel! A topic that I would love to hear your take on involves the current state of sports gambling and how the legalization in many states is impacting the traditional mafia run sports books, low level bookies, and the loan sharking business. When online betting was in its infancy and up until the last few years as Fan Duel, Draft Kings, and some other online behemoths have partnered with casinos, it was a pain in the but to get paid from bovada, betus, etc…so it was still worth having a bookie. I don’t see that being the case now unless you live in a state where it is still illegal. Would love to hear your thoughts. God Bless!
Michael Franzese, you're a friend of ours (to your as of right now 802,000 subscribers)!
Watching you from San Antonio. Love watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work you do. God bless to you and your family .
That was a smooth plug for the idIQ, sir. Didn't even realize I was being advertised to until it was almost over. Hats off.
Lmao that was the smoothest ad transition I’ve ever seen
another great video Mike,keep up the good work 👍
Really enjoy this one Michael thank you👍🏻
I was into petty crime when I was young. When you live like that your brain becomes attuned to scams. Everywhere you go you see an opportunity to steal something, it's like you have an ESP for crime. Junkies have the same mindset. I haven't stolen anything in decades but I still see opportunities for theft everywhere I go. I often think that if I wrote a book about the stuff I did, people would think it was fiction. Me and my friends all left school at 16 yet, in some respects, we were so much smarter than our schoolmates who went on to university.
Dude. That was the smoothest fucking sponsor shoutout I’ve ever heard.
Like all of your information, excellent presentation and very insightful.
Henry hill came to my church in Palmdale, CA and raised his hand to give his life to Christ. I used to go to lunch with him and he invited my family to a bbq at his house up in pinion hills. He ended up getting arrested for domestic violence and taken by the feds. Next thing I heard about him was his death in LA, I think about 2001. I had some good talks with him.
Great video. Always learn a lot from your content. I bought Henry's cookbook. Only tried one or two recipes in it. It was good.
I like the new format of the bumper being more about the content we are about to see rather than the previous bumper. It’s more labor intensive and doesn’t necessarily work every time. But it’s more immersive.
Michael thank you for all your videos it's the highlight of my day
Hey Mike like I said before you never disappoint! Have a great day!!!!!
Thanks Like always Michele! greetings from Italy!!!!
I love your channel and your stories are so interesting, I've learned alot from you . Thank you for sharing with us all much appreciated .
