Click  to hear audio of Whitey Bulger's wiretapped phone calls from the early 1990's, before he went on the lam. The calls, recorded by the FBI, were given to the media and posted on the Internet on Jan. 23 after a federal judge okayed their release.

 

Note how similar his voice is to that of his brother, Billy, the "Corrupt Midget" who was president of the Mass. State Senate and later the University of Massachusetts. He even has the same malevolent chuckle as Billy, which you can hear when he's asking the rental agent at Marine Park why he hasn't called him back. 

The "cough medicine" Whitey refers to is apparently just that -- cough medicine. He always assumed he was being wiretapped, and said nothing on any telephone to incriminate himself. The "check cashing" office seems to be Rotary Variety, which was next door to the South Boston Liquor Mart. That location would explain why he keeps asking for "Kevin" or "Pat." 

Finally, notice how dated these tapes are, even though they are only approximately 15 years old. When was the last time you heard anyone talk about calling someone on a "beeper?" And when did you last hear anyone call an office to ask for directions? Just think how many more victims Whitey would have had time to shake down if he'd had GPS in his car, or even Mapquest.
