Bulger fled Boston and went into hiding on December 23, 1994, after being tipped off by his former FBI handler about a pending indictment under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). For 16 years, he remained at large. For 12 of those years, Bulger was listed second on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives. On November 2nd, 1959 Bulger was sent to Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, arriving as prisoner #AZ1428. In 1956 he was first sentenced to federal time in Atlanta Penitentiary for armed robbery and truck hijacking. There he was involved in the MK-ULTRA program, the goal of which was to research mind-control drugs for the CIA, headed by CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb. For eighteen months, Bulger and eighteen other inmates, all of whom had volunteered in return for lessened sentences, were given LSD and other drugs. Bulger later complained that he and the other inmates had been "recruited by deception". He described his experience as "nightmarish" and said it took him "to the depths of insanity." In the summer of 1991, Bulger and three friends came into possession of the winning Massachusetts Lottery ticket, which had been bought at a store he owned. The four men shared a prize of around US$14 million. Bulger was widely thought to have obtained his share of the jackpot illegitimately. Whitey Bulger has been portrayed in numerous popular culture films such as “The Departed” played by Jack Nicholson, “Black Mass” played by Johnny Depp, “Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger” and “Brotherhood” 2006-2008 Showtime miniseries. THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC HAND AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO THAT IS 4x6 inches.
