Former mafia member Anthony Arillotta recently shed light on the infamous Whitey Bulger and his manipulative relationship with the FBI. Arillotta emphasized Bulger's reputation as a dangerous and feared figure within the Winter Hill Gang, operating largely in Somerville, Massachusetts. Contrary to the popular narrative that Bulger acted as an FBI informant starting in 1975, Arillotta suggests that Bulger manipulated the FBI for his own protection rather than providing substantial information on Italian mafias.
Arillotta detailed how Bulger received critical intelligence from corrupt FBI agents, allowing him to stay ahead of law enforcement and eliminate threats. These tips included locations of listening devices and warnings about informants within his circle. Arillotta argued that while Bulger has been branded an informant, the real dynamic was that Bulger was leveraging the FBI's desire to protect their claimed asset, using them to fortify his own criminal activities.
