3.4 Wow! What a tale. Don’t want to mess around with the mafia. I’m surprised that people are willing to put their lives and families at risk like this for $6m. That’s a lot of money but not worth a lifetime of anxiety or risk to your life itself!
Not great literature, but definitely a good read.
Mobster-turned-informant Henry Hill recounts the events surrounding the robbery of the Lufthansa Airlines cargo terminal at JFK airport in 1978, also depicted in the movie Goodfellas.
