A federal jury in Boston has convicted notorious South Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger of a host of crimes including 11 murders. Bulger, who is 83, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Bulger served as an FBI informant, and the agency helped enable his reign of terror in the 1970s and 1980s. He fled from public view in the mid-1990s following a tip from an FBI agent about an upcoming indictment. In 2011, authorities found Bulger in Santa Monica, California, where he had more than $800,000 in cash stashed in the walls of his apartment.
