Well everyone knows about James Joseph “Whitey” Bulger, who had spent 16 years on the FBI Top Ten, and that fugitive manhunt ended earlier in the decade. Bulger was subsequently sentenced to life in 2013. On October 30, 2018, Bulger was transferred to a facility in Hazelton, West Virginia and would be found dead hours after he arrived. There have been many mixed reports on his death, with some sources indicating he was already in poor health and may have died due to those problems. The other story is that he may have been killed in prison possibly by another inmate. Regardless, Bulger managed to terrorize and intimidate an entire community for decades, and ran from the consequences for 16 years, he lived life by killing multiple people, and all those people that Bulger killed, finally got their justice with Bulger being killed the same way as his victims if it turns out he’s been killed by another inmate. Or just to put it simple, somebody might’ve whacked Whitey. www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/‘whitey’-bulger-killed-at-federal-prison-in-west-virginia/ar-BBP6yeb |

Just a technical note that I feel this thread can be placed in the FBI top ten general discussion since Bulger was on the top ten list.
Also another technical note you and fugitivehunter666 both posted this at the same time, neither of you did anything wrong, I simply chose to keep toptenhunter's thread since he posted first (usually when two people post at the same time, I defer to whoever posted first).
Anyway, while I don't condone murder, I also certainly don't feel sorry for Whitey Bulger and may he rot in hell, but at the same time something must have gone wrong with the transfer process and/or prison process that on the very first day he was transferred he gets killed. While he's obviously not a sympathetic victim, the problem is the precedent it sets if they don't fix their process, so hopefully they will look into what went wrong.
The irony is at 89 years he didn't die of natural causes.

P.S. Still annoys me that AMW came thisclose to Whitey Bulger being a direct capture for them, but something went wrong. (I forget what it was, Pakman remembers).

I may have spoke too soon, Art Roderick (well-known retired U.S. Marshal) on CNN said Bulger chose to go into general population, so that's a bit different. Still, something did go wrong to not monitor a notorious mobster on his very first day in general pop.

I don't know why AMW couldn't score Bulger as a direct result capture the way they caught Francis P "Cadillac Frank" Salemme from the same federal operation, but I heard a rumor that Bulger committed some kind of sex crime in prison after he was sentenced in '013, so his fellow inmates no longer have to fear him doing anything of the kind to them.

I don't recall a sex crime, I think he was disciplined for openly "not being the master of his domain" in his cell but regardless, despite his advanced age he was still a danger considering his being a former mafia boss. (he could have in theory ordered hits still etc...)

I somewhat think Bulger asked to be in general pop so he could be killed as his health was deteriorating and could no longer bare the pain.
Or he just got unlucky.

That's actually not that crazy a theory imo. It's not like they'd let him get an assisted suicide if he asked for it and perhaps he didn't have the strength to do it himself.
I don't know if we'll ever know but your theory is very plausible imo.

I don't know if we'll ever know but your theory is very plausible imo. I don’t think Bulger valued life at that point, it had been 5 years of being in a cage away from his long time girlfriend Catherine Greig, and his health in decline. El Chapo’s lawyers reportedly say that he lives in a what is basically a living hell since he’s isolated, and years of watching Lockup, so that’s where I got my theory. |

That sounds really painful but in the end, it all came back to Bulger. |

This is very ironic how 10 years ago he was a fugitive on the FBI Ten Most Wanted List, and now he has been killed after being captured, tried, and sentenced to life in prison.
Bulger’s case along with Robert Fisher, Brad Bishop, Donald Webb and Glen Godwin were what started it all for me and to see that the saga of James “Whitey” Bulger is over with him being killed, it makes me wonder what’ll be the fate of some of the other fugitives on the list currently.

I won't wish death on anyone but I won't feel bad that karma paid Bulger a visit either.
