Many of the mobsters involved with the $6 million heist were taken out by a paranoid and greedy Jimmy Burke. As of 2014, the case was still active, as evidenced by the arrest of Vincent Asaro.

Authorities claimed that Asaro served as a lookout and helped with the getaway. In the movie, it’s believed that Asaro took Spider to get stitched up after he was shot.
