Whitey Bulger Lived In Same Apartment for 15 Years...Things Are Really Looking Up in Pakistan

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Fugitive gangster James “Whitey’’ Bulger paid cash to occupy a rent-controlled apartment here for more than 15 years, possibly becoming a tenant before he went on the run with his girlfriend, Catherine Greig, in December 1994. Property manager Joshua Bond said this afternoon that the family who owns the apartment building at 1012 Third Street know Bulger has been a tenant for at least 15 years. But, he said, they now believe he may have rented the two-bedroom even earlier in the 1990s. Bond also said that rent was always paid in cash, a practice that has continued into this year.

And:

Boston Globe -  Bond said Bulger and Greig, who still have thick Boston accents, had given him a cowboy hat once. He said the couple took a walk at dawn every day, then walked again in the afternoon. Bond went to Boston University and knew about the Bulger case, but still had no suspicions about Bulger and Greig.

Eeek. Doesn't look good boys, I'm sitting here expecting to hear that the guys been bouncing around locations every two years or so and now we're hearing that he's just been hiding out in the same apartment for the last 15 years?...And that he might have been renting the apartment even earlier than that, implying he might have had this as a vacation spot even before he was lambing it? And the FBI wasn't aware of one of their prized informants vacation rentals?  Someone's got some explaining to do, making Pakistani Intelligence look good by comparison. 

And someone needs to get on questioning this apartment manager guy for more answers...so you're from Boston, familiar with the case, hear their thick Boston accents, they pay you monthly rent in cash, you presumably saw the Departed, and still nothing clicked in your head? 

Boy, you are either the dumbest fucking guy on Earth or you're in on it. Either way you deserve to be panned.  The cash payments, allright, I can see letting that slide. Old people are always stuffing cash in their mattresses and coffee pots and shit. Old people carry around more cash than your average ganster. 

But you're the property manager. You for sure were in there for repairs at least once or twice, didn't get curious about the weapons cache that would make an Arab militia blush?  I mean, what exactly does it take for a light to dawn in your head? When you pulled up for work yesterday morning and saw police arresting the pair did anything click then? How about when you saw the headlines on the news later, did you realize those were your tenants then? Huh? Huh?
