Obituary: The long and deadly career of James J. "Whitey" Bulger. bos.gl/4aRPafX 
"Whitey" Bulger's life played out like any number of the Hollywood movies it spawned, reflecting a Boston that is no more. bos.gl/nfa9g4S
"Whitey" Bulger was charismatic and vicious, well-read and heartless. bos.gl/6XhzF7m
The former South Boston crime boss was the city’s most infamous criminal. He became as widely known as some of Boston’s reputable citizens, and in his own milieu he insisted he was an honorable criminal who lived by a scrupulous code. bos.gl/kpyTRm2
"Whitey" Bulger portrayed himself as the neighborhood’s protector, keeping drugs out of Southie and striking at the forces behind the imposition of school desegregation. bos.gl/NqqpEzU
Bulger had been warned by a corrupt former FBI agent to flee just before his 1995 indictment and eluded an international manhunt for more than 16 years. bos.gl/yUbKwMf
Bulger was one of the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted, with a $2 million reward on his head, when he was captured in June 2011, living with his longtime girlfriend, Catherine Greig, in a rent-controlled apartment blocks from the beach in Santa Monica, Calif. bos.gl/iQaIOKN
"Whitey" Bulger's self-serving narrative was left in tatters after his 2013 racketeering trial in federal court in Boston. bos.gl/3ExXRSz
During the trial, Bulger was portrayed as a menacing figure who bribed FBI agents, flooded his own neighborhood with drugs, chained and interrogated men before shooting them, and strangled at least one woman. bos.gl/OCwhlVR
A jury found him guilty of participating in 11 of 19 murders for which he faced charges, while running a sprawling criminal enterprise from the 1970s to the 1990s that rivaled the Mafia. bos.gl/lnFTVcf
