Whitey Bulger

Description: (Crime Boss)

This violent mob boss, who ruled Boston’s organized crime world during the 70s and 80s, has an exciting criminal life. Whitey Bulger took to troublemaking at an early age, becoming the most terrorized gangster in South Boston during his youth. Even though he was physically not built-up and strong, he became a fear in Boston, which continued even after he disappeared leaving the residents in doubt of his ever being arrested, as the FBI, too, relied on him for information and was supportive of him in carrying out a number of crimes. His instinct with the street life during childhood played a major role in transforming him from a juvenile delinquent to a stone-cold killer to an unchallenged crime boss. He was largely involved in drug trafficking, illegal gambling, federal racketeering, conspiracy, money laundering, and extortion. He was listed on FBI’s ‘Ten Most Wanted Fugitives’ list in 2007 after Osama Bin Laden, after he fled from Boston in 1995. He was arrested in 2011 after dodging and escaping the police and other authorities for nearly 16 years. He was found guilty and is currently serving life imprisonment for a series of gangland crimes, including 11 murders.
