Goodfellas

Why did Jimmy tell Henry he wasn't going to kill Maurice but then had him whacked a few hours later in the car by Tommy's hand?
Was this the beginning of his distrust with Henry?

Reminder that Maury literally did nothing wrong, he was entitled to his share of the heist money

Plausible deniability for Henry?

This

henry lied to the feds

yeah but, they had to wait a few months to spend any of it to let the heat die down first. What dumb motherfucker robs a place and then goes right out and spends a bunch of the money?

Jimmy was paranoid. He would have killed the entire heist crew outright if he knew he could get away with it.

>biggest heist in American history
>people get their shares
>told not to go and spend it conspicuously and to let the heat die down
>buys a fur coat and pink Cadillac
Are wops really this stupid?

they fell off a truck

He was in the right but he was an idiot for egging on a murderous psychopath who already had a grudge with him (not to mention Maurice owed him money in the past).

its possible jimmy did decide against it, and then in paranoia changed his mind once again

his wig stayed on when he took an icepick to the brain, that's some quality

It was in his mother's name though

How did Jimmy wield so much influence anyway? He wasn't even a made man, just an associate.

Kind of got grandfathered in by knowing the right people and making a lot of money for them.

he didn't mention murder to Henry at all
could be he didn't want to make him an accessory

he'd rather whack 'em

fuck jimmy for killing all those dudes who did nothing wrong

Real greaseball shit

What did he do to deserve a cut again?

reminder morrie was a fearsome brute irl but marty turned him into a schmuck on wheels

I think he knew the guy that came up with the idea or something and introduced him to Jimmy

Hmmm I (((wonder)))

He wasn't a made man by way of semantics due to his Irish lineage, but he knew the right people and had the right connections to stay close to the guys at the top, while also having a rep for being both ruthless and making them serious money.

he was basically an honorary capo. too well connected and a terrific earner

Did the real guy still do those ads on tv?

Yes, jumped into a pool with the wig on and everything
