James Whitey Bulger is probably the most famous Irish gangster in the United States. Starting as a bank robber like Dillinger, he rose to the head of the main Irish gang of Boston called Winter Hill, which for a long time was considered even more powerful than the local mafia family.
However, to achieve such a position, he managed not by brute force, as is often the case in the criminal world, and cunning and unscrupulousness. Bulger became an informant for the FBI and told everything he knew about the mafia, thereby helping to put the mafiosi one by one. In return, the FBI turned a blind eye to his crimes, and sometimes acted as a silent accomplice.
When the tacit agreement with the bureau was broken, Bulger went on the run and managed to hide for more than 15 years. So if you're interested in hearing how an Irish gangster with FBI patronage conducted his affairs, then meet James Whitey Bulger, on the other side of the law.
