This was due to Tommy trying to rape Henry's wife who was having an affair with Vario. I dont think Jimmy was involved. Especially as Jimmy was involved in the killing of 1 of those made men.

I've just read Anthony 'Gaspipe' Casso's book who is a former head of teh Lucchese family (to which Henry Hill was an associate) and he states Henry was a kiss ass wannabe, nothing more. Although one of the most successful mafia movies Henry Hill would be a nobody if it wasn't for the movie there has been many more high profile 'snitches' such as Sammy Gravano and Casso himself.

The lufthansa heist was quite a big deal due to the money involved however Jimmy Burke was the man behind it.

I was invited to one of their family weddings between Christmas and New Year last.......

Ive read quite a few conflicting accounts about it, the majority say Burke was instrumental in setting Tommy up. Mind they all a bunch of lying cheating scam artists who knows?
