I grew up not far from Southie, have family still there. EVERYBODY, i mean everybody knew who Whitey and the Winter Hill gang was. He was kind of a local legend around my area.
I"m amazed he's still alive, there are alot of retired FBI and local cops shitting their pants right now, if he sings ALOT of people are going down with him.
Gotta think some kind of deal is coming his way, the feds dont want their dirty laundry aired on prime time TV.
