While James ‘Whitey’ Bulger was ascending the ranks of organized crime in Boston, other mobsters were up to their own nefarious business, from stealing priceless art from world famous museums, to robbing armored cars and using the proceeds to fund arm shipments to the IRA. But when the head of the Italian Mafia was arrested in the 80’s, a power vacuum resulted in chaos on the streets of Boston. With a bloody gang war on their hands, law enforcement had finally had enough. In the mid 90’s, as indictments finally rained down, Whitey Bulger vanished. He’d spent over 15 years as America’s most famous fugitive, until the US Marshall’s Service found him hiding in plain sight.
