The character of Frankie Carbone, like some mobsters depicted in the movie, was a fictional composite of a mobster named Angelo Sepe (who was actually present with Tommy DeVito/DeSimone in the scene of Parnell "Stacks" Edwards' murder) and a small-time drug dealer and con man named Richard Eaton (the infamous trailer freezer scene). Eaton fleeced Jimmy Conway/Burke out of $250,000, then was murdered; the money came out of the Lufthansa robbery. In real life, this was the only murder that Burke was ever convicted of despite committing countless murders.
