In 2013, James Joseph “Whitey” Bulger Jr, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation’s most wanted fugitives, was convicted in a string of eleven killings and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. (Bulger was sentenced to life; he was fatally beaten at a West Virginia prison in 2018, hours after being transferred from a facility in Florida.) #WhiteyBulger |
