  Jimmy Conway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jimmy Conway, or Jimmy Burke (July 5, 1931–April 13, 1996), was an Irish-American gangster who is believed to have organized the Lufthansa Heist in 1978.
Burke eventually began a loan shark operation that was based at the bar, lending out money to people with an extortionate rate of interest.
The crime Burke is most famous for is the Lufthansa heist, the theft of approximately $6,000,000 from the cargo terminal at JFK Airport, the largest robbery in American criminal history at the time.

 USCA6 Opinion 03a0349p.06
The officers questioned Jimmy, who explained that he had bought the car from Leon, and that Leon had appeared at his house that morning and told him that he should move the car somewhere else because police were trying to track down all cars bearing the VINs of cars Leon had bought at MPD auctions.
Burke argues that the judgment in this case should be reversed and the case remanded for resentencing because the district court’s use of video-conferencing violated Rules 26 and 43 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and because it violated constitutional due process.
Burke argues that this difficulty means that the theory is inoperative, and the enhancement was therefore improper.

 All about the Lufthansa Heist by Allan May
Burke had gotten into so much trouble as a teenager and young adult that between the ages of 16 and 22, he spent a total of 86 days outside reformatories and jails.
Burke was said to have resolved this by chopping the man to pieces and leaving him “tossed all over the inside of his car.” In another tale that showed a bizarre side of Burke’s sense of justice, Jimmy gave an elderly woman $5,000 after he found out that her hoodlum son refused to repay her.
Burke was paroled from the extortion conviction on October 25, 1978.

By the early 1960’s, Burke was king of the hijackers at Kennedy; relieving carriers of their trucks and airlines of their cargoes had become one of his major pastimes.
