Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger was captured near Los Angeles after spending the last 16 years on the run during an epic manhunt that served as a major embarrassment to the FBI and made the fugitive a global sensation as he constantly found a way to elude authorities.

I never thought they would catch him. All because of his woman.

He fled in January 1995 after being tipped by a former Boston FBI agent that he was about to be indicted. Bulger himself was a top-echelon FBI informant.

Prosecutors said he went on the run after being warned by John Connolly Jr., an FBI agent who had made Bulger an FBI informant 20 years earlier. Connolly was convicted of racketeering in May 2002 for protecting Bulger and Flemmi, also an FBI informant.

Bulger provided the Boston FBI with information on his gang's main rival, the New England Mob, in an era when bringing down the Mafia was one of the FBI's top national priorities.

But the Boston FBI office was sharply criticized when the extent of Bulger's alleged crimes and his cozy relationship with the FBI became public in the late 1990s.

Sounds like the worst form of vermin to me.

Sounds like the plot to "The Departed" to me.

He must be the world's fastest 80 year old, you know "running" from the law and all!

His girlfriend wasn't the one who got him caught osirius. If you read it carefully, it says he was caught with her, not from her.

The funniest part of all this, for me, is imagining the rival gangs; imagining a bunch of guys sitting around saying "Fuck Whitey!" and "Kill Whitey!" in a thick Boston accent. That would be some shit to see.

Last week or so the FBI released a new "ad" campaign targeting his girlfriend. I don't know, maybe he slipped up but I think there's a correlation.

Well the movie was based in part on him. Frank Costello was just Jack Nicholson playing Whitey Bulger.

The Rev · 06-23-2011, 10:05 PM

I did not know that.

some aspects of it are lame but Daniel Day Lewis alone makes it a great movie.
