Sure, the disgraced FBI agent and Whitey BFF got sentenced to 40 years on a second-degree murder charge for the 1982 Bulger-ordered execution of a guy in Miami. But J.M.

Best Craigslist post of the day:
We are going off Broadway with a new play that tells the story of James Whitey Bulger and his long and odorous relationship with the FBI. We are looking for an elderly actor who is not afraid to throw on some support hose and a nappy old bra to portray the legedary gangster.

In 2003, we had Bulger Henchman 4. Who knew thugs were such prolific writers? And let's not forget the 2001 book by a couple of Globe reporters.
