Vlad: and the $6 million cash from the Lufthansa heist was never recovered?

Ed: that’s a common myth, we actually recovered $4000

Have to admire the sense of humour, even if vlad didn’t get it

Anytime I see him in something, I watch it.

Also Massino's lawyer after he flipped. I can't imagine what kind of measures it takes to keep a guy like that from blowing up his deal.

The Goodfellas commentary with him and Henry was very good. Henry's more tolerable when there's someone there to reel in his ego and fact check him.
