James "Whitey" Bulger was a notorious Boston mobster who led the Winter Hill Gang, a criminal organization involved in extortion, racketeering, and murder. His ruthless activities made him a prime target for law enforcement. Despite being an FBI informant, Bulger's involvement in numerous heinous crimes, including his role in a series of bombings targeting abortion clinics and a gay nightclub, drew the attention of authorities. The most infamous incident associated with him was the Centennial Olympic Park bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. This domestic terrorist act prompted a nationwide manhunt lasting five years. Remarkably, Bulger managed to escape capture for over 16 years, solidifying his place on the FBI's Most Wanted list. His eventual arrest in 2011 brought to light his complex relationship with law enforcement and led to revelations of compromised integrity within certain law enforcement circles.
