@SeaMaiden. He's from the Boston mafia and eluded law enforcement for a time, became an informant and continued with his life of crime along with and FBI agent.
@proudlyfromNJ I am just surprised that he is such big news and I never heard about him.... I guess when he was sent to prison I was not watching the news or something! I usually watch news all day long>

@SeaMaiden. He was caught in Calif. I believe after living there for many years.

How does someone get so bad? Environment? Association? Lack of love or caring by others? I understand he has a brother who is/was a politician...a different kind of criminal, to be sure. But two brothers on totally different paths. How did that happen?

yes: karma!
@SweetieSugarPlumI think karma is just a word. Every day you see good people die and not-so-good people continue to live. There is no karma.

For many years he was second behind Osama bin Laden on the FBI Top Ten wanted listed. So his capture was a big deal and I am sure you saw it when it happened but it as been a while.

Probably a combination of all of the questions you asked.
As far as his 'career politician' brother, he was in contact with Whitey for the entire time he was on the FBI's 'most wanted' list, #2 after Osama Bin Laden.

A fellow inmate with Mafia ties is under investigation in the slaying at the Hazelton federal penitentiary in Bruceton Mills."
The article continues - check the website.
OK, I'm not new to the world but I don't remember him. I know I've heard the name but don't know what he did. Of course I know what a gangster is but tell me about him.
Google him.

Cause he was beat to a pulp.
