The Feds finally arrested Lou Werner, the guy who brought the Heist plan to Jimmy Burke. The FBI thought for sure that they had an ace up their sleeve with Janet Barbieri, Werner's girlfriend. What happened next was truly unbelievable.
After the heist, things fell apart quickly as Parnell 'Stacks' Edwards left the getaway van on the street. Jimmy Burke's paranoia got the best of him and he started whacking anyone connected to the heist to distance himself from the robbery.
Jimmy Burke knew every thug in New York. So when he received information from gambler Louis Werner about a huge amount of cash coming into the Lufthansa Cargo Terminal, he orchestrated a plan to rip it off and take that attractive haul of cash and jewels.
