0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Beantown's True Crime podcast.
0:11.6	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.8	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.2	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.
0:39.8	If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
0:45.8	If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person or agency.
0:50.7	All right, guys, let's get to it.
0:53.1	Just some housekeeping stuff as you usually do at the beginning of our shows.
0:57.5	We had an excellent response to our Whitey Bulger episode, basically entitled Whitey Bulger
1:04.1	wins the lottery.
1:06.0	I got a lot of responses that people just seemingly forgot about that aspect of the Whitey Bulger saga.
1:15.0	And I believe that's kind of natural because of all the violence that was associated with
1:20.4	that case.
1:21.9	And the Whitey Bulger saga started, I don't know, back in the 50s, he did time in Alcatraz. And one of the reasons he
1:29.9	survived the gang wars back home is because he was locked up in that federal penitentiary.
1:35.1	So he comes back after Alcatraz, and a lot of those gang wars had been settled. So
1:41.0	it kind of kept him safe when he was in the joint, I guess. But it's just a whole
1:46.0	crazy story. So if you had forgotten the fact that Whitey had won the lottery in 1991, at the
1:54.3	store, he stole from Stephen Rakes. I guess that's permissible, right? But man, there's just so many
2:00.8	facets to that case,
2:02.5	and it's almost a 50-year case in the making, right? I have a couple cases, multi-part cases,
2:09.8	in mind for that saga, I guess. So we'll get to them, and I think they'll be pretty good.
