The following is public knowledge. James Joseph “Whitey” Bulger, Jr., born on September 3, 1929, is a convicted murderer and a former organized crime boss of the Boston Irish mob crew known as the Winter Hill Gang. US prosecutors indicted Bulger for 19 murders based on grand jury testimony. Word is he was once an informant for the FBI too. Bulger fled Boston and went into hiding on December 23, 1994, after being tipped off by his former FBI handler about a pending indictment under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). You may remember the RICO Act from The Dark Knight, eh? And so for sixteen years, he remained at large. For twelve of those years, Bulger was listed second on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, behind only Osama bin Laden. Talk about being a celebrity, huh? However, like most gangsters in movies, Whitey was eventually found (in Santa Monica of all places) and captured, in other words, all good things must come to an end.
