In one of the most egregious law enforcement scandals of the last century, the U.S. Government helped to cultivate and empower one of the most notorious murderers of our time. A man who was simultaneously hailed as both a savior and a devil, a protector and an oppressor, James “Whitey” Bulger’s story is complex and almost unbelievable. How did just another poor South Boston hoodlum rise to be the King of the Irish Mob, and reign without punishment for 20 years as the bodies piled up around him? How did he manipulate and stay one step ahead of law enforcement even after becoming a fugitive on the FBI’s most-wanted list, second only to Osama Bin Laden? Whitey Bulger wasn’t your average gangster, but his genius was facilitated by equally criminal men at every level of law enforcement. With their help, Whitey rose to power using violence, money, intelligence, and charisma. Whether it was karma, poetic justice, or a government setup, Whitey met his end violently and in a manner reminiscent of the countless murders he so easily committed. Join me as I walk you through the complex case of Mob Boss James “Whitey” Bulger.
