Mob boss worth $1 million to FBI
By Mirk Pratt ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER BOSTON -Alleged mob boss James J. "Whitey" Bulger, on the lam for the past five years, has joined Eric Rudolph and Osama bin Laden in an exclusive club — the reward for information leading to his capture is now $1 million. Bulger, on the FBI's 10 most- wanted list, is just the seventh person to warrant a reward of $1 million or more, said Charles S. Prouty, head of the Boston FBI office. The reward, which had been $250,000, is designed to "encourage the public to be more vigilant," Prouty said. Prosecutors say that from the late 1970s through last year, Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi controlled an organized crime group known as the Winter Hill Gang that used the insular, blue-collar Irish- American South Boston neigh- borhood as its base.

William was a state senator and is now president of the University of Massachusetts — was even an informant for the FBI, a move that some say may have protected him from the law over the years. In tact, one FBI agent has been accused of tip- ping Bulger to his pending indictment, allowing him to flee before he could be arrested.
