James Burke, also known as “Jimmy the Gent,” was a notorious American gangster and associate of the Lucchese crime family. Born on July 5, 1931, in New York City, Burke was involved in various criminal activities, including loan-sharking, extortion, and drug trafficking. He is best known for masterminding the infamous 1978 Lufthansa heist at JFK Airport, one of the largest cash thefts in U.S. history, stealing nearly $6 million. Despite his significant role in organized crime, Burke never became a made man due to his Irish ancestry. Convicted of murder and racketeering, he spent his final years in prison, dying in 1996.
