As Goodfellas makes clear, many of the mobsters involved with the $6 million 1978 Lufthansa heist-at the time the largest cash robbery in American history-were taken out by a paranoid and greedy Jimmy Burke, while more still were put in jail by Hill's testimony on unrelated charges. But as of 2014, the Lufthansa heist case was still an active case, as evidenced by the 2014 arrest of Vincent Asaro (who was 78 years old at the time) on cooperating witness testimony. Authorities claim that Asaro served as lookout and helped the getaway. And in a tie to the movie, Asaro is believed to have taken Spider to get stitched up after he was shot.
