I knew a guy in Monterey, CA in 1985 who was associated with Bulger. We hung out almost daily for four months He referred to Bulger as "Jimmy Buljah". I knew that my friend from "Southie" was connected, but the lightbulb didn't go on for me for years, until Bulger became nationally known. My friend told me plenty, which I kept to myself until I learned that he had died.
Never proof of that, at all. Billy Bulger was a good honest politician that served his constituents well. He is known for reforming a very corrupt state senate.
What if Whitey knew his time was coming & wanted to make sure Catherine was taken care of after so they hatched a plan with the neighbor to take whatever cash he had left plus collect the reward? He would know Catherine would only get a couple years out of it.
Catherine refused to cooperate with the FBI/Justice Dept. and ended up serving 8 years in prison. Whitey was more concerned with telling everyone he wasn't a rat and in the end he was killed like a Rat by a Mafia enforcer in federal prison. Kevin Weeks served less time than her, he made a deal and only served 5 years for 5 murders and Hitman Johnny Martarano only served 12 years for 22 murders that he confessed to.
Calling Whitey a snitch is the dumbest shit ever. There are no rules in the streets, other than never snitch and no innocent women and children. Whitey gave the FBI absolutely nothing, but got protection from the feds for all those years. He played the game better than most. Never really had anything in his possesion that would get him busted. Pretty smart criminal, and lived 85% of his life free on the streets. Im not glorifying it in any way, but Whitey was super smart. Too bad he didn't use it in a productive way. He chose to be a street guy, funny how 2 brothers can go 2 complete opposite directions in life, but both are incredibly succesful in their chosen paths
Watching John talk about gangsters since the late 70s till now. Wow what a change his hair turned white just got old some how. He got most of his white hair covering the Gottie story
I love that reporter at 3:35 basically saying, "I had my view of this case and nothing will ever change that despite all the evidence." Typical reporter.
Big issue very fishy instant in to senior housing in SANTA MONICA..???connellys supervisor walked...kevin weeks spent less time than C Grieg ??????????
@wamaka mwenifumbo he's [gravano] still alive because he is protected in and out of prison because he's an FBI informant. real FBI informants are not set up for slaughter in prison, as Bulger was. gravano killed, or had killed far more than 19 people, more like 50.
Difference is Sammy only told at the end and didnt **** underage girls which is something whitey was known for according to his close pals who cooperated
@@messymeechy5590 Bulger wasn't a pedophile, but Stephan "the rifle man" Flemmi was. Having sexual relations with the daughter of his common law wife, since this girl was about 11 years old. Both women who were killed, of which the girl he was molesting was one, were directly associated with Flemmi, and he had the real motive to kill them. He was allowed to lie and blame Bulger for their murders on the stand at Bulgers trial, by his FBI handlers.
@@mmm-il2ky the Boston FBI made a public statement years before they decided to arrest Bulger, [they knew where he was] that, Bulger never gave them any good or truthful info, and that, any helpful info attributed to Bulger was put in his file wrongly by dishonest FBI agents, of which John Connolly was not the only one. The Boston FBI was afraid to arrest Bulger, because they were guilty of selling info to Bulger and they didn't want him to talk about it. That's why they put out the lie in the news media that, Bulger was their informant, just before his trial, to turn public opinion against him, and win their case without having to reveal too much about their crimes, and making Connolly the loan FBI agent scapegoat.
These people & many others apparently, think he didn’t get caught the way he did. At this point, with the years passing by fast, I think we can believe that his capture did go down the way the official story said. I’ve never seen any evidence of anything different 🤷🏻♂️
Not even him being murdered shortly after ? People like that that know these things are handled until they are no longer of use unless they just don’t want to of course . This is a government tactic like Epstein to get you in prison have you murdered and then who can say what really happened it’s a prison . But things like security cameras going out right at the time of the murder/suicide or forgetting that this man is of importance and should’ve been in solitary confinement no one on earth can buy that if you really know .
@@Whatsthat421 …. I get it. Until there’s real evidence though, instead of just conspiracy theories basically, I believe he was killed because they thought he was a snitch. I believe Whitey though. He paid the FBI for info. Not they paid him. So, there definitely is reason for people to think conspiracy. Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists usually think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy & most of the reasons or theories are ridiculous. Which makes people tend to think, “oh shit, here we go!” 😂
After nearly 8 years in custody and sitting in courtrooms? Lol. Nah, he was murdered by a notorious but well-known Mafia hitman from Mass who hated rats. If anything, Whitey got exactly what he deserved.
@@g-money7652 it was there four months ago so u were correct I think flemmi was whitey's wing man wen growing up n probably wit him until he went on the lamb
Guys was a psycho living in Florida if not mistaken n his brother the total opposite that was in the Senate but definitely in the government as a mayor of new York or close to that tag may have been a governor but hundred elected into politics so had no excuse of wat to do with his life he had choice not like he was made do anything just a fckin coward in the end

If I was a betting man I'd say odds are Whitey Bulger wasn't actively pursued on purpose for one of the these scenarios: he was suspected of having incriminating evidence on law enforcement and justice department officials, wasn't arrested until the justice department found evidence bulger hid and were sure he couldn't implicate them, the people he could have testified against either die or retire, whitey turned himself in to protect his brother in return for his brother not being part of the trial, the government threatened to prosecute Bill bulger for harboring/aiding and abetting a fugitive, oe for allowing his brother to retrieve and keep cash whitey had hidden somewhere.
The Departed and the character of Frank Costello was "very loosely" based on Whitey and the Winter Hill gang....Frenchie=Weeks....it's also a remake of another movie also
POS, N its not cause im Italian its because the Man POS, An Asshole, Stevie should of put of Bullet in him, when That pos strangled that young woman, cuz THATS AN ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY, POS WHITEY BULGER!!!!! HE GOT WHAT HE HAD COMING TO HIM!!!!!!!!
The old man said before he was expired in prison to shut his mouth. " The agent knew nothing , he didn't have anything to do with the murders " The agent he was talking about is John Connelly
John Miller in a league of his own class when it comes to walking one through who these gangster were n whether they were guilty or innocent when it comes down to it n if the media are putting there spin on it but when it comes to whitey Bulger all the reports are true n sad to wat he did n also caught with a bundle of cash, think it just short of hundred grand if memory serves

Whitey kicked up to his brother - the leader of the State's legislature

Got what he deserved in the end. Shame it took so long
Spilotro castelano all of e.
I thought the tipster lived there, had moved too Iceland? Wow, who would have thought the FBI would lie!
She was originally from Iceland -lived in the same block as Bulger -supposedly seen the campaign on tv and recognised Greig
Thanks Mobfax!
Salute.
