News about Whitey Bulger

His reputation as a Boston area killer endures, as well as his insidious decision to switch to the FBI, which eventually brought him to witness protection. His story, as one of the first to enroll, would serve as a warning to future feds of what not to do. After numerous attempts on his life, including one that saw his counsel lose his right leg when Barboza testified before a committee in Washington, the Animal yelpher left his government-given apartment in California only to be gunned down. The act, which was carried out by four shotgun blasts fired from a Ford van, brought the killer's life to an end, and a DOJ probe would later identify the FBI's cover-up of his murder as one of the 'greatest failures' with 'disastrous consequences.'

After a woman on board called her ex-boyfriend on September 5, Scott Burke, 69, was arrested after cops swooped on the 80-foot yacht called the JessConn. Following the raid, the doctor, who is fighting terminal cancer and has just months to live, has been charged with a slew of opioid and firearms offences. She reportedly told him, 'they were doing drugs all weekend, and people on the boat had been making pornographic films.' According to the new statement, Burke's ex-boyfriend saw Burke step over the woman, end the call, and then'turn the phone off.'

Scott Burke, 69, was released on a $200,000 bail last week after his lawyer told Plymouth Court that he has terminal stage four cancer and that he has only months to live. Authorities searched his 82-foot-long yacht, named JessConn, after his two children were killed on September 5 after a woman on board called a friend for assistance. According to a police warrant obtained by the Nantucket Current, the woman told the man, 'they were doing drugs all weekend, and people on the boat had been making pornographic films.' She added that she needed to get out before passing out, prompting her male friend to call police, who informed them that she had overdosed. The man told the Nantucket Police Department that the boat carried ketamine, Adderall, ecstasy, and cocaine on board.

Scott Burke, 69, of Colorado, was stormed in Massachusetts' Nantucket Harbor this past Tuesday, and he was charged with a string of crimes as a result. After pleaded not guilty to the drug and weapons charges, he was released on bail on Thursday, charged with felonies such as unlawful ownership of a firearms without a licence and unlawful trafficking Class A and B drugs. According to a recent study from the tiny New England isle, the agreement was only agreed after attorney Henry Brennan - who once represented local crime boss White Bulger - went up to bat for his affluent client using a bizarre defense tactic. According to Brennan, Burke has an unspecified form of terminal cancer, and he will no longer live. In an interview with The New York Post, a doctor's allegations were briefly dismissed by a captain who was on the harbor later.

Prison isn't the safest place for notorious criminals, especially those found guilty of horrific crimes against children, as shown by Larry Nassar's assault over the weekend. On Sunday, the former USA gymnastics team doctor, 59, was brutally chastised at the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida, where he is serving up to 175 years in prison for insulting some of the country's top athletes. According to jail authorities, the pedophile was stabbed twice in the back and six times in the chest; he suffered from a collapsed lung and is 'good to be alive.'

When Joe Biden was vice president, James J. Bulger, the nephew of late crime boss Whitey Bulger, was able to book a tour of the West Wing. Bulger is seen on tourist sites visiting Anne Marie Person, one of Biden's aides from his time as Barack Obama's right-hand man, on August 25th, 2016. Person worked with a shadowy investment company operated by Hunter Biden before joining the then vice president's staff. However, it is also unknown if the self-styled fixer was able to secure meetings with any other White House staffers. Bulger has been a regular advisor to the new commander-in-chief's son on his Chinese business ventures since 2010.

Since pleaded guilty to fraud charges connected to an art bribery in 2018, Brian Walshe, 47, (left) was on house arrest. He had been fitted with the device, which lets probation know when he was gone home, but not where he was going. Ana has been missing for a year after vanishing on New Year's Day when she reportedly left her house at 6 a.m. to catch a flight, which she never did. The 39-year-old real estate executive's quest continues, with experts in location monitoring bracelets confirming that it is not unusual for the devices to not have GPS and instead use radio waves. Walshe's bracelet only uses a radio wave that warns authorities that he has left home, but does not reveal where he went.

The murder of Whitey Bulger at the hands of fellow prisoners was ultimately the result of several layers of leadership failures, widespread incompetence, and flawed policies at the Bureau of Prisons, according to a study published Wednesday by the Justice Department's inspector general. Following the multi-year inquiry into how the 89-year-old gangster-turned FBI informant (left) was killed in his cell hours after arriving at the USP Hazelton jail, the agency ordered that at least six bureau employees be disciplined. Bulger will be transferred to Hazelton in advance, and prison staff openly discussed the transfer in front of prisoners, according to the inspector general's report. Fotios Geas and Paul DeCologero (top right) have been accused of beating Bulger to death in 2018, but Sean McKinnon (bottom right) remained guarded.

Just six minutes after his cell doors were unlocked on his first morning at West Virginia's notoriously violent Hazelton Prison, Boston gangster Whitey Bulger was murdered by prison inmates. The shocking timeline was revealed when US attorneys told a Florida judge that one of Bulger's suspected accomplices, former Hazelton prisoner Sean McKinnon, was arrested before his trial. After serving his prior term, McKinnon, 36, was released from jail earlier this year. McKinnon, who was accused of acting as lookout while Bulger, 89, was beaten to death with a belt last week, was one of three men charged in the 2018 October murder. Paul J. : On the morning of October 30, 2018, 'Pauly' DeCologero, 48, and Fotios "Freddy" Geas, 55, were charged with viciously beating and stabbing wheelchair-Bulger to death in his jail cell. Bulger was escorted to Hazelton Prison, less than 12 hours after he was released, and his alleged killers were believed to have warned of his impending arrival.
