The Lufthansa Heist: $6 Million, 11 Minutes, 12 Dead
Most people think the mob’s greatest crime was violence—until they hear about the Lufthansa Heist. $6 million vanished from JFK Airport in minutes. No alarms. No arrests. No convictions. But what followed was even more shocking: a trail of bodies, a van that led to an FBI manhunt, and a cleanup operation so ruthless it became a case study in criminal paranoia. Why did every man who touched the money end up dead? And how did the FBI finally break the silence—with no bodies, no bills, and no justice? This isn’t just a true crime story. It’s a lesson in betrayal, power, and the price of a perfect plan. Would you have stayed quiet? Or would you have ended up like the rest? Leave a comment if you think the FBI ever really solved it. Or if Jimmy Burke beat them all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
