--------
In this clip, John "Red" Shea opens up about the moment he discovered that the infamous gangster Whitey Bulger was, in fact, an FBI informant all along. The interview details Shea's unwavering loyalty to Bulger and Steve Flemmi, even while behind bars. Despite serving time, Shea was determined to protect them, unaware of their betrayal. His world shattered when he learned through a call home that not only was Bulger an informant, but he had also been protecting himself at Shea's expense. This revelation, Shea describes, felt like a profound betrayal that shook him to his core. The interview delves into the ensuing chaos as Kevin Weeks, another member of the gang, decided to cooperate with the authorities, leading them to uncover multiple murder victims tied to Bulger and Flemmi, underscoring Bulger’s involvement in at least 20 murders.

Bulger was convicted of 11 murders so gotta think it’s double that but who the hell really knows 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@RebornRoyalty4L]

Probably more especially since it was way before forensics technology became what it is now

[@rickdissy1398]

@@RebornRoyalty4L probably and I wouldn’t argue with that logic because many murders went unsolved in the 60’s, 70’s n 80’s. My great uncle, actually my grandfathers uncle so I guess that make him my great great uncle lol knew Bulger and made some visits from Providence to Southie and didn’t have many good things to say about him. Said he was a little odd, had an arrogance to him that made uncle Albert want to beat him to death with his bare hands…and he definitely could’ve done so! Ironic that in the end he was beaten to death, funny how life works that way 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jivexturk3y]

Yeah if they can prove his brother knew of his whereabouts

[@DJ-iu5bb]

its amazing too how like when he got caught he was 15 mins of a FBI Office and the people working there had Irish last Names it makes me wonder if they was protecting him still and whoever reported him to i bet the FBI didnt anticipate that a Regular Citizen would call the hot line and turn him in cause he was still wanted but he was so low key they was hoping he would be a Ghost like DB Cooper I doubt his brother would even turn on him like that if his own brother had big ties to the JFK family

[@Harlem1455]

So he was suppose to tell on his brother hell no

[@tomking853]

Whitey was on the run for 16 years living in Santa Monica. He was captured in 2011 because of some cats basically. He had hundreds of thousands of dollars in his walls which was crazy and guns everywhere in his condo. I lived in Los Angeles from 1997-2009 and I know exactly where the condo/apartments he lived in. That’s a retirement community basically. Whitey should of never lived there and got a house somewhere. Those old retired people have nothing to do and are nosey as hell.

[@chuteball]

I lived 3 blocks from Whitney's apartment in Santa Monica. It was the craziest thing to hear he got caught so close to me at the time.

[@user-du7jx8ex1e]

When you gotta roll your eyes back to think about how many bodies there were, it's no bueno.

[@Livefromthewhytehouse]

I think he was bout to slip w the bodies lol

[@AdamHayes-Clowers]

@@Livefromthewhytehouseyeah, he definetly knows more than he’s willing to speak on as it would incriminate himself… duh. also where he is asked by Vlad that all of the murders happened while he was part of the organization, of course John made sure to mention that it was all prior, because if he had admitted that he had any part in murders, he would be incriminating himself again, that’s more than obvious by him making sure to state it was all prior… as if, they just stopped killing people when he became affiliated, which if anybody should know it’s not then obvious a mafia group doesn’t just pause attempting to and actively killing people, I know for sure that him joining wouldn’t have halted murders from happening.
