Henry Hill (Goodfellas) has died

The Lucchese Crime family pays its respects. A mobster dies from natural causes, That always an impressive feat, even for a rat bastard.

I was dier wen they wacked big Paulie, Paul Castellano, Gotti was one lucky fook to survive that period.

I don't think he was glorified in any way in goodfellas, the movie showed the mafia up for the real scumbags that they are.

Isn't the term "good scumbag" something of an oxymoron ?

Not possible imo.

so here's how it goes, within the scum bag community they are all scum bags, and they think some of them are good and some not so good.

I thought an oxymoron was some stupid person who likes oxo.

I suspect we have only read/heard about a small section of his past crimes.

It did always strike me as odd that he managed to be tight in the trio of the real life Jimmy Conway and Tommy for close on 20 years, with all the murders those two guys commited, and yet he seemed to get away with helping out in a few robberies, drugs, body disposal and dishing out minor beatings? And that he was never directly asked to take part in a murder until the one in Florida which he suspected was a trap to lure him?

I think there are one or two more serious stories the FBI told Henry not to talk about for everyones benefit.

Same way few if any Loyalists or IRA men released early have been gunned down by the rival side. Years pass, people lose the hunger for vengence, it is likely many of those he convicted 32 years ago are dead or old men who are either still jailed or lack the physical get go to be shooting people, and many of the ones leftover (or their children) realise in the cold light of day that they would be the first suspects for his murder and it is not worth ruining their current busines over it (he lived mostly on the west coast- it would be pretty hard with the amount of CCTV and other methods of recording people travelling, for a New York hitman to travel that far, kill him, and get back to NYC unoticed)

Most of the people he had betrayed were dead or in prison at that point and I'd say he was probably heavily disguised whenever he visited New York later in his life. Possibly with a fake moustache and a comical wig.

I remember seeing a segment of an interview with Henry Hill standing in the Nevada desert talking about his time in the mob 'yeah, we buried a lot of problems in this desert -a lot of problems.'

I'm sure he was up to his neck in it like most of them.

Maybe they will do a sequel covering his days in witness protection

As above, also the fact that if anyone was to kill him, his case would get possibly ULTRA massive profile in the worlds media, big time.
It would have been one thing to make a relative unknown person vanish or even a semi-famous person, but for the world wide notoriety he got up to his death, those still around that wished him ill, probably said begrudgingly "Fcuk him - he's not worth the hassle!"

The media backlash alone would have kept up serious pressure on investigators till they got someone - and anyone ordering a hit or doing it, would know it.

I saw him in an interview though admitting to killing three people. There may have been more or that could've been embellished. Hard to say with a guy like him tbh.

He was a filthy rat. I reckon he would be the type who would kill his own mother to get out of a jam. He will have to answer for his life to a higher power now, Straight to hell without a doubt.
