The Brutal True Story of Mafia Psychopath Tommy DeSimone | Goodfellas Real Mobster Documentary

Video Description

The real story of Tommy DeSimone — the ruthless mobster who inspired Joe Pesci’s role in Goodfellas. From hijackings and murders to the Lufthansa Heist and his mysterious disappearance, this is the truth behind one of the mafia’s most feared figures. Joe Pesci’s Oscar-winning performance as Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas is legendary — but the real-life story of Thomas “Two Guns” DeSimone was even darker, more violent, and more unpredictable. This documentary uncovers the life of one of New York’s most feared mobsters. From his early days with the Lucchese crime family under Paul Vario, to his violent partnership with Jimmy “The Gent” Burke and Henry Hill, DeSimone built a reputation for hijackings, brutal murders, and psychotic outbursts. He played key roles in the Air France Robbery and the infamous Lufthansa Heist, but his random violence and unsanctioned killings — including Billy Batts and Spider — sealed his fate. Was DeSimone betrayed by his own crew? Killed by the Gambinos in revenge? Or did Jimmy Burke eliminate him as a loose end? Nearly 50 years later, his body has never been found, leaving his death one of organized crime’s great mysteries. Join us as we dive into FBI files, mob testimony, and eyewitness accounts to reveal the truth about the man behind Goodfellas’ most terrifying character. #Tommy DeSimone, #goodfellas true story, Tommy DeVito Joe Pesci, Lufthansa Heist, Air France Robbery, Lucchese crime family, Jimmy Burke, Henry Hill, Billy Batts, Spider, New York mafia, mob documentary, organized crime history.
