The fact that these men were more violent and immoral than the movie characters should give us all pause. Burke was a psychopath and murderer. 😮

Crazy, I was first a foster kid, than adopted from the NY Foundling Hospital. I was blessed, I was a foster child from 3 days till about 7, then adopted by the the same family that fostered me. Was never considered a foster or an adopted kid even though my parents had 6 of their own. Five when I was a foster than another one while I was still in foster care. Who knows what my life would have been like if it wasn't for my parents adopting me. As far as my brothers and sisters are concerned, I am blood, even though we look completely different. I am 55 now, very successful and retired thanks to my parents.

You did a great job here with this video on Jimmy. No stupid music, nothing over the top with the narration, right to the point and concise. Was great to listen to. Thank you for making this video. Thumbs up

As many others have said: your presentation, writing, and calm no-nonsense narration is perfect. 99% of the main stream crime programs could learn a lot from you.

Mob guys are kind of glamorized in movies but in real life are the worst people you could think of.

Billy Batts co-defendant in the trial that sent him to prison in 1962 was none other than heroin kingpin and future acting boss of the Bonanno crime family, Carmine Galante, whose murder scene photograph taken at Joe and Mary's Italian-American Restaurant in Bushwick, Brooklyn became iconic for its depiction of his cigar-chomping corpse.

In no way ami giving him a free pass,but with a childhood like that,it's no wonder he was a psychopath.

His story deserves its own movie

What a brilliant narration, no bullshit background music, fluent and concise, great tempo to the whole thing.

Films like Goodfellas and Paid in Full are such untouchable classics but after hearing these stories makes me wish they were resurrected in series form

The very first picture of him in this video he looks so creepy. Like a human version of the Grinch.

As someone who went to 16 different schools and was in care homes and foster parents because my mum was in prison i can relate to this. This kind of childhood can make you not give a fuck for anyone else OR it can make you extremely concerned about other people's misery and suffering. There's a thin line between ❤ and hate

I grew up in an orphanage for two years when I was 9 years old. Bounced around from foster homes till I finally graduated high school. One lady let me live with her as long as I didn’t get into trouble. Got into the Military at 19 as soon as I graduated. Fast forward 17 years later, im 3 years from an army retirement, debt free, house paid off and 20 acres we paid off. Have had numerous rental homes that we’ve bought or sold. Will retire as a field grade officer. Glad I got around the right folks at an early age.

Absolutely phenomenal job. No over the top narration and factual. New sub!

If Jimmy was Italian, no doubt in my mind he would have been made and even might have become a captain. In the streets he was basically respected as a made guy even though his Irish ancestry meant he could only be an associate.

Those eyes, man... Those terrifying eyes. Scarpa and Dellacroce had those eyes, too. Scary people.

It should be noted that the main reason Henry Hill ratted on Jimmy Burke was that the FBI had 2 recorded conversations of Burke talking to underlings about when & where Hill should be killed. Up until then, Hill thought he was safe from Burke's Lufthansa Heist killing spree as Hill hadn't taken part in it.

It just goes to show that a lot of these violent guys are actually created by a sick society. On the other hand at 67 years old I have known guys who had great loving families with every chance of success but turned out like Burke anyway.

$480k in cash and over $300k in jewellery and his cut was $60k ? Thats some real grease ball shit

I grew up in a huge Italian family and mob films were always a go-to for me. I normally can't watch documentaries all the way through but you make riveting content!!

He had a hell of a lot of power for an Associate who could never be made.. 😮

While it's true they made copies of the guard's keys, they didn't make copies of all of them. Apparently, they only made about 3/4 of them, due to either running out of time OR there weren't enough blanks OR some of the keys didn't match up to the type of blanks the locksmith had, so they did what they could do and hoped for the best, which (obviously) worked out for them in the end. *I highly recommend reading the book Wiseguy which the movie Goodfellas was based off of.*

Excellent storytelling, you held my attention effortlessly. Can’t wait to watch ya next upload.

The stalker ex boyfriend story actually corelates with a story Henry Hill once told on the Howard Stern Show. He said that one year for Valentine's Day, Jimmy pulled up to his girlfriend's house in her ex boyfriend's car. He told her he had a Valentine's gift for her, brought her to the trunk, popped it open, and her ex's decapitated head was in it.

Absolutely phenomenal job. No over the top narration and factual. New sub!. Growing up must’ve been very difficult for him.

Great video, CTS! This video provided more detail about the real human characters than even the book "Wiseguys". Well done!!!

Congratulations for such a great piece of work. This was better than most Netflix shows

If a work colleague befriends me out of the blue and I go out with him for drinks and my house happens to get broken into and ransacked I think I would automatically be suspicious. Then shortly thereafter he’s all adamant about getting me a gorgeous prostitute, I’m pretty sure alarm bells would be going off then lol 😂

My grandfather met Jimmy in the Masons union my grandfather was Jimmys foreman they became really great friends ....Jimmy used to come to my grandfathers house for sunday sauce like 2 sundays a month up in westchester county new york i know this is tough to say but Jimmy was a respectful actually very nice guy if he liked you ......if he liked you he would give you his organs if he was able to ......thats all i got

Wow, his wife was incredibly unique and beautiful. Goodfellas is one of the greatest films ever made besides the Godfather 1 and 2

Great documentary, Most in-depth on Jimmy I have seen yet.

... Jimmy was the kind of guy who rooted for the bad guys in the movies ...

His son was murdered, his daughter was shafted with the money he hid from the Bonnano husband and he died in jail. Not really a great legacy to leave.

Great job on the video. The Tommy DeSimone video was excellent as well. Liked and subbed. 👍

Great video and editing just subscribed

Jimmy didn't invite Henny on the big airport heist Because Henny was doing to much cocaine & Jimmy thought Henny would screw things up.

Whoa, this was actually very well done.

This was really well done. Informative, interesting and everything was presented in a straight on fashion.

Excellent presentation, thank you ! Bill P.

He had his son murdered as well.

His eyes were cold and empty.Those of a killer.Scary

Great video, informative none dramatic fiasco, just facts and a detailed timeline. 👍

This was really well put together. Good job!

Foster parents complain about the kid & the kid gets shipped off to another home. Foster kid complain about the parents, too bad.

People picture Burke as the DeNiro character, giving them a more appealing impression. In real life this guy was concerned with his own advancement despite the damage done to anyone around him… in other words he would cut your throat if it avoided him having any problems at all. He was known and feared in Ozone Park.

Great vid and insight into a truly remarkable man. Keep up the good work!

Nicely done! Thank you!!

The look in his eyes in that picture in the beginning of the video, SPEAKS VOLUMES about what was in his heart, EVIL.

I'm utterly utterly fascinated by Jimmy Burke and have been since I first read the book Wiseguy. He's such an interesting character. Imagine how fascinating it would be to see footage of him or hear a recording of whom doing his thing. He deserves a book or a film made just about him.

Great job!! Great work

This is an excellent video. I have always wanted to know more about Jimmy Conway

Some of them probably went to Roy Demeo bar. Never to be seen. They tried to get Henry there , and his wife .

Stumbled across this video, watched it, loved it - subbed. Excellent work.

Excellent video keep up the good work😊

Well, certainly lessons can be learned from the life lived by Jimmy and his associates.

...is it me or the thing that always stand out when I hear the life of Jimmy Conway is how his last foster parents treated him right and he remembered that the rest of his life? Maybe that is the real story of Jimmy Conway. Raise kids right so they won't raise Hell to the whole world.

Exceptionally high quality video. A joy to watch and listen to. You have a great voice and delivery. Instant sub from me.

Outstanding video. 10/10 👌🙌

My daughters elementary school have a poster of Jimmy Burke in the principals office. They have a fan club and sell t shirts and hats.

A new movie needs to be made with Jimmy as the main character... Not a copy cat of Goodfellas.... This bio was dope!

GREAT VIDEO , VERY INFORMATIVE, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

I have to be honest. Goodfellas was a great, and still is, film. But your no nonsense, detailed accounts are just as enjoyable and not sugar coated as Hollywood does. Bravo!

I just subscribed to the channel cuz I’m loving the content already

Rob deniro was low key scary in that movie always sending people to their deaths smiling the face of jimmy Burke tells you to back off

Wow! Exceptional reporting and insights, thank you. Two of my father's best friends were Ralph Lamb the famous 'Sheriff of Las Vegas' who for years did battle with the Mob, Benny Binion the owner of the Famous Binion's Horseshoe club on the LV Strip, who also had his share of battle with the people you delve into, and I recall several colorful and shocking stories, when I was growing up during those times, some of which were never released for public consumption that relate to the thugs you have featured. Later I went to work for one of the largest construction companies in the world run by a billionaire criminal who exchanged favors for the Mob and their elected associated and benefactors in Washington. With all the Mob influence in the construction business, I had the displeasure of having to work alongside operatives of the criminal elements of Unions and some of the 'families' featured here, and what you chronicle provides a very accurate and chilling glimpse into the monstrously evil, psychopathic world that attracts the worst of humanity. Well done!

Phenomenal video, thank you

That was a really violent decade during the 70's.

Your videos are great! Keep em coming!

The details are superb. Fabulous

HANDS DOWN BEST VIDEO ON JIMMY OUT ON KZfaq!!!

I never really put 2 and 2 together about why they called Frenchy McMahon.. Frenchy. Because he worked for Air France. Makes total sense. LOL.

Great job with the narration

Excellent job. Goodfellas has always been one of my favorite movies; now I have a good reason to watch it again. Thanks!

One of Jimmy’s sons was killed in a drug deal gone wrong in Brooklyn NY/1987.

Goodfellas was pretty dam accurate. Sure it was romanticized a little, but still brutal and accurate

This is the second vid ive seen from this channel. Pretty good and thorough imo.

Great video!

He lived long enough to see DeNiro play him in Goodfellas, I wonder what he thought of it!

Awesome video! I didn't know that he and Henry both opened their own businesses after the heists. I also didn't know that Jimmy used his bar as a graveyard, yikes, what a sociopath.

loved that, thank you so much

Hilarious that the police beat him like it was just a normal thing to do back then lol

I grew up in the 70's around 108'th near the Bocce courts and Italian Ice King in Carona. We moved to Sands Point shortly after 74. I had my home in Strathmore Vanderbilt until I left N.Y. I was the ring bearer at J. Buccola's wedding and was baptized by Salvadore Castellano and Alphonse Persico in 73. I had an "uncle" that used to come by on my birthday and Christmas really anytime I did anything of note. I knew him as " Uncle Jimmy" when I was old enough to figure things out for myself, I realized who he really was. I never saw anything to suggest what was going on but I was very young. My father said to me before he died that he was happy I walked the halls of his life and was untouched that I could make my own way and be free. He got such a laugh at this movie calling out wrong names and places times or outright nonsense. Sitting there with him was surreal listening to him talk through the movie. I did make my own way now almost 50 myself I'm glad I do not have to have that talk with my kid. but it was damn sure an interesting way to grow up. Echo Hard! "Doc"

I did enjoy this so I liked and subscribed. Well done.

Wow!!! Man... A way better history than I thought.. def will subscribe and watch more!!! Please keep it up!!!❤❤🔥🔥

For once the real one looks even scarier than the actor

I've seen a few clips of FBI officials giving their reviews on the movie, saying deniro and sorvino didnt even come close to real people they portrayed.

Bravo! This was a hell of a breakdown 👏😲 I just finished rewatching Goodfellas again. years of rewatching it, I'm always more and more intrigued with the entire story.. Let me down hey rabbit hole to research some more, that led me to this fine video. Some new trivia's in here that never made it onto the film 👍

What a great Y.T channel. Great content thanks. Keep the vids coming.......

Great narration. Really really good video. The most in-depth video I've ever seen on this man. It was a great watch.

A lot of his early life story comes from court mitigation documents supplied by attorneys. Mitigation pleas are notorious for telling hard-luck sob stories to judges and should be viewed in that light

Frank Vincent WAS the real Billy Batts.

Great narration ! Thanks ❤

Love you videos kiddo! Very detailed and full of facts. 👍

Bet that security guard with the money safe key, thanked the lord that he was a perv otherwise, he simply would’ve been whacked instead of a honey trap victim? 😂

Met the daughter of one of these guys. She was a grifter who hung with a con man. No empathy for people who treated them as friends. This dude has a mean face.

Some children really have hard luck in their early lives . Terrible to think of children who do not experience love but suffer abuse.

@1:12 Lovin' your work Mr Uploader @crimetimestories4611 with your reenactment of an early 1930s John in action 😀😀😅

I was a foster kid out of New York myself and got adopted out of New York at 7

Bro... You had me looking all over the living room for my laptop. Thought that some how...some way...my Total War Napoleon was turned on somewhere. Thanks lol.

Whoa this is really good, thanks 😁
