Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Jimmy Burke was a key player in Nicholas Pileggi’s Wiseguy and brilliantly portrayed by Robert De Niro in Goodfellas, but the explosive life story of the underworld architect of the greatest heist in American history has never been told—until now in the first-ever, fully comprehensive biography of the notorious Jimmy the Gent.
James “Jimmy the Gent” Burke wasn’t blood to the Lucchese crime family of the Italian Mafia, but the brazen Irishman’s moneymaking criminal enterprises, fearlessness, and loyalty earned him respect among the crime bosses he served. Coldhearted, calculating, and vicious, Jimmy the Gent would eventually carve his own sensational path through the underworld.
Jimmy’s crowning achievement—the legendary 1978 multimillion-dollar Lufthansa heist at JFK Airport—is an untold story that Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative Mob journalist Anthony M. DeStefano, author of The Big Heist, uncovers for the first time. From Jimmy’s unsettled youth, having been abandoned by his brutal father and long-suffering mother and shuffled through several foster homes, to his delinquent teen years of crimes and street-smart survival, Jimmy eventually found a family who warmed to him: the Luccheses, the dominant force in New York and New Jersey’s organized crime.
From protégé to mentor, Jimmy would soon rub shoulders with the likes of eventual informant Henry Hill, Tommy DeSimone, Paul Vario, and William “Billy Batts” Bentvena. And though Burke would spend nearly one-third of his life behind bars, in the end, he managed to outlast the treacheries of his lifetime.
Featuring new insights and revelations involving the violent decades-long aftermath of the legendary heist, Jimmy the Gent is the riveting full story behind the man who would become firmly ensconced in Mob folklore as one of the most notorious Irish gangsters and grand larcenists of the 20th century.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
