Okay, so how does that square up with his earlier claim that had been given immunity? They just gave to him because he as a nice guy? I don't see how his denial of being an informant helps him given what he's claimed in the past.

Have some cheese, rat.

I find criminals even ex-criminals that considered themselves career gangsters, are shocked that Whitey is a "Rat"... He is an outstanding  student of the Machiavellian concept he studied "The Prince" he took the concepts onto himself. He follows the concept of "Any means necessary".. A criminal above the average; Whitey is a Rat, and informer, and agent of the FBI... A true Machiavellian, which clearly should not surprise anyone that he is a psychopath clearly with top anti-social behaviour... He built, "Whitey World" on blood and treachery and it is the World he created and lives in... An old man now, looking to go out as an Al Capone, a stand up guy;when all he ever was; "is a dirty rat", who turned on everyone even his friends... 

God. Just string this superannuated piece of s*** up by his thumbs. How can anyone defend this guy? How can he defend himself?

This whole case stinks to high heaven!  Everyone involved is tainted -  the Boston office of the FBI included.  I find it disturbing that one of our former governors, William Weld, who was previously the US Attorney for Massachusetts in the 1980s directing the Boston Office of the FBI where Whitey was an informant, appointed brother Billy to the presidency of UMass!  The whole case stinks all the way up!

I have no sympathy for Whitey.....but I have even less respect for the renegade enablers in the FBI, police dept etc. Mankind at it's worst. Horrible things happen and somebody else is to blame.

With any luck he'll die in prison (soon) and we'll all be spared the "performance."

The only way to deal with a sociopath is to not.
