He must not have asked for his cut from Jimmy

[advance]

You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can fuck around with you. It also means you could fuck around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.

One person they won't be bringing in is Stack Edward's. He hung around the bar and played guitar...everybody loved Stacks

It's only a crime to steal money IF and only if your not an elected official. True story, bro.

I know henry didn't really have anything to do with it but I wish they would have shown the actual robbery go down in the film.

Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut

It was that bastard with the pink Cadillac that gave it all away.

Despite having a notorious career in the mob, being charged of numerous crimes including murder, racketeering, gambling, and extortion, Asaro was found not guilty of being involved in the Lufthansa heist, and was acquitted of murder charges in another case. He did plead guilty of arson charges and was sentenced to 8 years, of which he was supposed to serve 5, but actually only served less than 3 due to health concerns after having a stroke and being vulnerable at his age and health condition to COVID-19.

I say just let them go. Congress just passed a 1.1 trillion spending budget. What difference does it make. 6 million ain't shit. The govt blows that in minutes daily.

[ryanr.]

He must of bought a pink cadallac and a fur coat .

[slicked]

This video would've been better if Layla playing in the background.  I'd vote not guilty.  "What did I tell you?"

[chloekit]

Don’t give me the babe in the woods routine Karen

[jakep]

What did I tell you??! Don't buy anything! You gonna get us all pinched!

[viralbuthow]

So those guys were at the Christmas party?

[georgerutherford]

Why does the basement that they found the remains in look like the same one Tommy was taken too when he was killed ?

Maybe big for Hollywood and Americans but far from being even top 30 heists globally. Bertolt Brecht : "What is the robbing of a bank compared to the founding of a bank?"

[matshagglund]

1. Banco Central Burglary, Fortaleza, Brazil; 2005. Stolen: $70 million. After renting a commercial property in the middle of the city and posing as landscapers, the gang behind this enormous heist spent three months digging a 256-foot tunnel to a position beneath the bank. Then, over a weekend in August, they tunneled up through reinforced concrete into the vault of the Banco Central branch and managed to remove 3.5 tons of Brazilian real notes, much of which has never been recovered.

If I were Asaro I would have said judge did you see me in Goodfellows answer would be no then I would walk out of the court room

[superstarreviews]

Wouldn't the statute of limitations be up on this?!
