Every time i hear a new story about this trial I am amazed that this is real. Bulger is like every boston mob character come to life.

I think Nicholson's character in "The Departed" was based off of Bulger.

Isn't his brother also a senator? Wonder what kind of dirty backroom shit his brother was involved in during Whiteys heyday?
I read a book by I think Kevin Weeks quite a few years ago. Whiteys enforcer. Marky Mark bought the rights to the movie, hopefully he makes it now that the trial is drumming up more interest.

He was a government informant. He was a serial murderer. The government allowed him to kill people. He had FBI agents working as double agents form him. The government in bed with gangsters. The government participating in a criminal enterprise.
This is a small peek at what goes on behind closed doors.
Welcome to reality. If you knew the truth you would not believe it.

Bully Bulger would still be in charge today if Mitt Romney did not stand up to him when he was governor and tell him he had to go.

Boston's police are famously corrupt. Cops will let you run red lights around here. They run red lights themselves. They'll let you go most of the time even if they pull you over. They pretend to be politically correct but the officers themselves will let laws go unenforced if it suits them.
I'll never forget when I called the cops to kick a woman out of my apartment, one cop said to the other, "Did you offer to help her get her things?" and he replied, "She's a cunt. Fuck'er."
I actually like them. As long as you put on a good act, they'll never bother you.

The little I have read about Whitey is absolutely fascinating. He was a total and utter rat scumbag, however he played the game like Machiavelli. The guy was no kidding pimping out the FBI.
In light of his acts of violence and dishonor, his end in jail was no surprising, however the circumstances around his death are about as unintended as the Kashoggi case in the Saudi Consolate.

The Whitey Bulger Trial

It is an interesting end.
One point of interest, is that I knew Steven Rakes through a mutual friend of ours. I saw him many times in the early to mid 2000s.
I last spoke with either of them a few years before they each passed away; Steven Rakes when he dialed my number by mistake, and our mutual friend when he passed away in Jan 2017.
Steven Rakes 'passed away' (was murdered) around the same time as Bulger trial was about to start so there was some speculation that Whitey had Rakes knocked off to prevent Rakes from testifying. As it turned out, what really happened is that Rakes had loaned money to someone that turned out to be a con man, who meet Rakes at a Mcdonalds and then spiked a coffee that killed Rakes. The guy was caught because a video at the McDonalds showed Rakes and the guy together, then the police found Rakes dead the next day, so the police knew who to go and pick up.
One time Steven Rakes told me the story about how he got into trouble for lying to a grand jury about Whitey Bulger plus the story of how Whitey Bulger 'convinced' Stevie to sell the liquor store to Bulger. (Whitey Bulger walked into the liquor store that Steven Rakes owned one day and told Stevie that he (Whitey) was buying the store now and threw at Stevie a bag with $68K in cash in it.) As it turned out, there was every reason for Rakes to lie to the grand jury. After Rakes had given his testimony to a grand jury about Bulger, Rakes was walking along a street in Southie, and along side of him a car pulls up, with the back window down. In the back seat was Whitey Bulger with some papers and notes. Whitey Bulger started to ask Rakes about questions and answers that Rakes just gave to the grand jury no more than an hour ago! As you can imagine, Rakes was rattled by the whole episode, especially since grand jury testimony is supposed to be sealed but here is Whitey Bulger in possession of what looked like to be a transcript of the whole damn thing!
Rakes ended up spending just about all of the money he had at that point to try to stay out of jail. Years later, when it turned out some of the FBI was involved, Rakes tried to bring a lawsuit but it got thrown out on the grounds that Rakes had waited too long to file the lawsuit.
Around the same time, Kevin Weeks was traveling around South Boston as part of some 60 Minutes interview or something, in a limo, to various places. Even though I am "Mr. Nobody" from outside the I-128 belt, even I was hearing that people in South Boston were absolutely livid and furious that Kevin Weeks was being chauffeured around the city and I wondered if some of the locals were going to arrange a beating or worse for Weeks as payback for the years of his reign of terror on the people in South Boston.
One time the mutual friend of Steven Rakes and myself was approached by Whitey Bulger. (This was years before I had meet either our mutual friend or Steven Rakes.) Our mutual friend owned a building that had a car repair shop in it. Bulger approached my friend and started off with, "I hear that you are a smart jew." Apparently, the pitch that Bulger was wanted to use the car repair shop for part of his operation and would pay for the use if our friend would help with the operation. My friend was very polite but didn't want to get involved in something like that, no only because it was most certainly illegal, but if he had problems with Whitey Bulger, what would happen? At the end of Whitey Bulger's pitch he told Bulger that he didn;t want to do that kind of work. Whitey couldn't understand why he would turn a chance to make a lot of money so our mutual friend said to him, "Yea, but if we have a problem, who do I go to?" To this Whitey Bulger said, "You are right. You know, you are a smart jew."

That prison transfer that lead to the murder was sketchy as hell.

He ended up setting up at the Lancaster Street garage.
