456030, Plus Paulie was fuckin Karen

That didn't make the movie, probably to have amore sympathetic Karen, but Henry Hill has stated that he had solid evidence that Paulie was taking liberties with his wife. Henry couldn't say shit because, hey, that's the boss. Karen didn't do much to dampen Henry's suspicions neither.

In re: the original question of “where the money went” – according to interviews with Henry Hill, Jimmy never really saw much of that money after the initial crime. Hill has maintained that basically ALL of it was kicked upstairs and “whacked up between bosses” © (Jonesville Station interview w/ Henry Hill). No one’s quite sure how much money was stolen: some said Lufthansa inflated the amount for the insurance recoup, some said they underreported the amount to save face. However much it was the bigger bosses, those in the Lucchese outfit above Paulie, all wanted their taste.

Now when there’s ever any doubt as to whether they’re getting their full share or not, trust that they’re going to take what they feel their full share SHOULD BE. Jimmy Burke had no recourse, even though he’d risen just about as far as a non-Italian could go in the mafia, because he would lose any sit-down with any capo, and definitely any boss, who laid a claim to the money. I think part of the expediency and ferocity in getting rid of the Lufthansa criminals was on orders of the bigger names getting involved and not wanting to be tied to it by any low-level drug addict connected guy
