Dirty Money The Truth About Bostons Organized Crime World
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
The crook Christopher Rich is running for another elected official position
I guess it is true that some people will really never learn.
Disgraced and disbarred attorney Christopher Rich of Georgetown MA is running for another elected official position in town. You may remember that FOX UNDERCOVER aired the story of him being caught on wire tap asking an "alleged" mob associate (me) to rob the Georgetown country club and discussing a number of other crimes he wanted committed on the day of the town Assessors election that he was running for. He lost in a land slide but what the hell, that was way back in May of 2011.
I'm sure he figures the voting public has forgotten all about that. This jerk really is living in his own world. He swears that he did nothing wrong and that the State police were wrong in saying it was him on the wire taps. The Mass State police don't get things like that wrong you idiot.
This is the same guy that had me convicted of stealing and cashing his checks when I never stole a single one of them. He gave them to me and he must have been robbing clients funds and got caught so he tried to put the blame in my lap. What he didn't know was that my phone had been tapped and the taps proved that he not only gave me the checks and had me cash them but that he was a criminal and all around bad guy.
He was a lawyer but he was about to be disbarred for some of his wrong doings but he did the smart thing and took a MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE rather than be disbarred.
GEORGETOWN WAKE UP AND LET THIS JERK KNOW YOU WILL NOT ELECT HIM FOR ANY POSITION WHAT SO EVER. HE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ALLOWED TO SWEEP THE FLOORS IN TOWN HALL.

LAW ENFORCEMENT MAFIA EVEN GETS "HAPPY ENDINGS"
FOX UNDERCOVER is reporting on a story that 3 day spa's in the Boston area were providing "sexual favors" for tips.
Not really a blockbuster story until they dropped this bomb. I guess the client list has come out and low and behold, it is loaded with police officers, local politicians and prominent men in the community. They also have some proof that police ignored several complaints about these establishments. I WONDER WHY???
I love stories like this. I wonder how many of the officers were on duty when they got their "HAPPY ENDING" on your tax dollar? I bet the only tip they gave out was to not arrest the women for what they just did to them.
The LAW ENFORCMENT MAFIA runs this country and if you are not part of it they consider you a sucker. I'm sure the only reason they even busted these places was because the FBI got involved. The local cops will have to go back to raping prostitutes to satisfy their sexual needs.
I'm sure you will be hearing that some of these poor officers are just sex addicts and that they have been placed on PAID LEAVE. I really hope they can get some help for their disease.... LMAO
I have a feeling there are going to be a lot more tickets written out in the next few weeks. The police in these towns are not going to be as relaxed as they have been....

The Law does not apply to everyone | Essex county DA |
In 2009 I was convicted of robbing disgraced attorney and Georgetown planning board member Christopher C. Rich of over $200,000. After serving 7 months of my 6 year sentence I found exculpatory evidence that my phones were tapped and that Chris Rich was on these taps talking to me about crimes he wanted to commit. The DA withheld this information and when the judge heard it he overturned my conviction and ordered me a new trial.
What I am wondering is this. Why hasn't the DA's office prosecuted Christopher C. Rich for any number of things he did that were against the law. He filed a false police report, he committed perjury on the witness stand a number of times and he also sued Eastern bank fauduletly and won? He won the case against the bank because I was convicted of stealing his checks even though evidence found later proved the checks were given to me.
I sure as hell know what would have happened to me if I committed any of these crimes. The one against the bank is actually bank fraud if you think about it. However, he is friends with the Essex County DA and several judges in the state so I guess the LAWS DO NOT APPLY TO EVERYONE.
Believe me, I don't think anyone should go to jail but If the courts are going to portray themselves as society's moral compass they should go after people that actually commit crime. This guy was a lawyer so he should have a pretty good understanding of the laws that he broke.
One more point I would like to make. Christopher C. Rich still has a license to carry a firearm in this state. How does that happen? He is on wire tap with an "alleged" member of organized crime (me) plotting crimes against innocent people.
If you would like to see more about this please click on the heading or copy the link below.
After watching the link if you would like to know how you can become a member of the LAWS DON'T APPLY TO ME CLUB you can call the ESSEX COUNTY DA'S OFFICE IN SALEM MA AT 978-745-6610 and ask for application.

Law Enforcement Mafia flexing their muscle in Revere MA
Boulevard Family Settles Suit with City, State in Overzealous Home Search
The City and State Police have recently settled a federal Civil Rights case with a family from Revere Beach Boulevard that came as a result of what appears to be an overzealous home search during the initial investigation following the Officer Dan Talbot murder.
The case involved two Revere Police Officers and two State Police Troopers and was arbitrated in federal court by a federal judge, concluding just this past March. The City agreed to pay the family $40,000 and the State Police also paid $40,000.
City Solicitor Paul Capizzi told the Journal that the case was handled by Attorney Gerry D’Ambrosio’s office.
D’Ambrosio was not immediately available for comment on the case, but Capizzi indicated that attorneys advised the City that the case might be favorable for the plaintiff.
“They told us our defenses were there, but maybe not adequate enough to meet a challenge,” he said.
So, instead of risking a jury trial in Federal Court, the City agreed to mediate the matter and arrived at a settlement. There was no wrongdoing admitted to and the matter was a Civil matter and not a criminal matter.
State Police Spokesman David Procopio indicated that the state preferred not to comment on the suit.
The case was handled rather quietly and was discovered this week by the media as it was disclosed during deficit spending discussions that were before the City Council.
Mayor Tom Ambrosino said it was a case that wasn’t out of the ordinary and something the City deals with from time to time.
That being said, the family’s attorney, John Day of Boston, laid out quite a set of allegations before the court.
In an amended complaint filed in Boston Federal Court last August, the alleged facts of the case are laid out in astonishing fashion.
On the Saturday morning after the Talbot murder, on Sept. 29, 2007, the family said they were relaxing in their Boulevard home when the mother heard voices in the backyard. She looked out the window and noticed police officers sneaking around their yard and trying to hide behind the garage.
She told her husband about the situation and they went outside to find out what was happening.
When they asked officers, the only comment was whether or not they had watched the news. When the family said they hadn’t, officers said they could not tell them what was happening.
The family alleged that they decided to go inside and call Revere Police. As they started to do so, the front doorbell rang and two officers began banging on the front door.
A Revere Police officer and a State Trooper were at the door, with the Trooper brandishing a long-barreled weapon. The father asked why they were there and he was allegedly told to “Open the [expletive deleted] door.”
Officers continued to be evasive as to why they were there and discussed the news coverage several times, of which the family alleged they had no knowledge of. They alleged that they had not heard any news yet and had no idea that Talbot had been murdered until some time after the entire incident unfolded.
Without invitation, officers allegedly entered the home and asked for the couple’s teen-age son. When officers allegedly learned that the son was upstairs showering, a Revere officer drew his weapon and ran upstairs to seek out the teen.
The family allegedly asked for a warrant repeatedly but were ignored.
When the father – who was quite concerned – tried to follow the armed officer upstairs, the State Trooper with the rifle stopped him.
The Trooper allegedly ordered the father to get down on the ground and told him that if he moved, he would be shot.
At that point, allegedly, a Revere Police officer and another State Trooper came running through the front door. They were allegedly the same officers that had been hiding in the backyard at the outset.
The Revere officer drew his weapon and also ran upstairs.
When the mother tried to follow the second armed officer upstairs, she was allegedly pushed down the stairs, allegedly injuring her elbow.
She allegedly called for help, but her husband was allegedly also still being held.
Police allegedly still refused to say why they were there.
When the mother made a second attempt to go upstairs, the Trooper subdued her with an arm grapple and put her to the wall – ordering her to get down on the floor.
To heighten the situation, the family’s dog – an even-tempered black Labrador – entered the area and Troopers allegedly threatened to shoot the dog unless it was removed immediately.
When the mother attempted to call Revere Police, in the midst of the recorded call the Trooper ended the call and allegedly threw the phone against the wall.
Upstairs, as the teen was getting dressed from his shower, armed police allegedly barged into his room and ordered him to the floor at gunpoint.
He was handcuffed and placed on the bed.
He pleaded with officers to tell him why they were there.
They only asked him if he watched the news, which he had not.
The two Revere officers made a few telephone calls, and after finishing those calls, they removed the handcuffs and left the residence.
All four officers allegedly left as quickly as they had come and allegedly without any explanation.
One Trooper is also alleged to have misidentified himself to the mother as he left. They were also alleged to be laughing and smiling as they left the family’s home.
While they were leaving, plainclothes Revere Police officers responded to the scene as a result of the recorded phone call that had been stopped.
The situation was explained and a superior officer from the Revere Police Station did end up apologizing for the entire incident.
The complaint indicates that police had identified the teen as a person of interest, but that he allegedly wasn’t supposed to be apprehended.
Two days later, after hearing fully about the Talbot murder, the family alleged that they called the Revere Police and offered to come in with their son to help the investigation.
None of those calls, they allege, were ever returned.
Attorney Day alleged that the son had no connection whatsoever to the shooting and that there was never any probable cause to believe any such connection existed.
There were no warrants for anyone in the house and the family indicated that they never gave consent for officers to enter or search the home.
Attorney Day did not immediately respond to a phone call.
Capizzi indicated that the matter appeared to be a miscommunication between officers about the urgency in which Police wanted to speak with the teen-age son.

Massachusetts Law Enforcement Mafia at it again
Lowell police officer Arovanh Lakmany was indicted recently on extortion, 3 counts of rape and 3 counts of soliciting a prostitute but get this, he was released on PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE. Which means he wasn't even given a bail.
Now call me crazy but this bail seems to be a little low. Actually its impossible to get your bail any lower unless they pay you to be charged with a crime. Oh wait a second that is most likely what is going to happen. I'm sure that this RAPIST will be suspended with pay, or as you and I like to call it, "given a paid vacation".
I know a thousand people that have been charged with crimes a lot less serious than this and were given huge bails. I wonder what the difference is between them and him. Oh, no I don't, he's a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER so the "LAWS" DO NOT APPLY TO HIM.
This jerk actually said in an interview with detectives that "he felt like he was untouchable because, you know, were cops". THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP.
This is further proof that in this country if you are not a politician, a cop, a judge, a probation officer or any other jerk woking for the government or law enforcement THAN YOU ARE A SUCKER. They want you to shut up, follow the laws that they don't follow and just KEEP PAYING YOUR TAXES.
IF YOU READ THIS PLEASE CALL THE LOWELL MASS POLICE STATION AT 978-937-3200 AND ASK HOW YOU TOO CAN BECOME A PART OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT MAFIA, JUST LIKE AROVANH LAKMANY, and tell them JOE LAFRATTA ASKED YOU TO CALL!

Excerpt from my book | DIRTY MONEY | BOSTON MAFIA
THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE
Some criminals are certainly a waste of talent. Most of the really good ones would be great at anything they tried to do, but they gravitated toward crime because they were around it at an early age. Almost all of the stories they heard from people they looked up to… who happened to be lifelong criminals… were all about the good times.
No one ever tells stories about the misery that crime has caused them… at least the men don't. They were “nurtured” by crime.
This is true most of all with the Mafia. Where I come from, we were brought up thinking that life in the Mafia was the coolest life there was. I was born and raised in Revere, Massachusetts; a town near Boston with a large tight-knit Italian population. It was also a place where illegal gambling, loan sharking and drug dealing were a way of life. To be in the Mafia was considered a tremendous achievement… like having won a Super Bowl or having been elected to Congress.
I was born in in August, 1972, which makes me part of “Generation X”. My father, Joe LaFratta, Sr., is three-quarters Italian and one-fourth Greek. My mother is Irish and French.
When I was a little boy… I was about five years old… my family owned a summer cottage at Canobie Lake, New Hampshire, which is about a 45 minute drive from Boston. It was one of best places a young boy could be in the summer. We owned a cottage right next to the lake, we had a boat and there was an amusement park right down the street that had everything… including a roller coaster.
We would spend the whole summer there as a family. It never seemed odd to me that the other kid’s fathers were only there on the weekends, but my father was there all the time. He did not have to go to a nine-to-five job because he never had one. He would leave from time to time late at night, but he would always be there in the morning when we woke up. This was a great time in my life, and I will always look back fondly on it.
My fondest memory of those times, however, is not of the boat or of the amusement park. It is of my father and I driving to the closest farm stand, which was on a country road near our summer cottage. Whenever we went there, my dad would put a big bunch of ears of corn in a bag and place the bag in the car. He would then pick out whatever fruits or vegetables we needed for the night’s salad, put them in another bag and put that bag in the car as well. What I remember most about those shopping trips was when my father would walk back to the farm stand and go over to a coffee can that the customers would drop money in to pay for their merchandise. Like many small businesses in that rural area, the farm stand was on the “honor system”. My father, though, did things differently. He would give a quick look around, take all of the money out of the can and quickly put it in his pocket. He would then look at me, clasp his hands together, shake them up and down at the wrist in a gesture of exasperation and say: "When are they going to learn up here?"
It is important for you to know that my father definitely did not need the money that was in the coffee can… he just loved to get over on things like that. Even though he had what some would consider a warped sense of morality, my father was a good man. He has always loved me, and he would die for me without hesitation. I know for a fact that he never meant me any harm, and he did not want me to follow in his footsteps.
That said, the fact that I saw him do things that he knew were wrong and saw the smile on his face when he did them made it a lot easier for me to choose the same path when I got older. I found crime to be a means of making large sums of money in a way that also made me feel like I was in on a really funny practical joke. Dirty money is very appealing. If you are a true criminal, you see things very differently from other people. You are always watching for angles that lead to quick riches, if you’re willing to take a few risks. There is always a price to be paid, though. My father often told me: “A construction worker has to worry about getting hit in the head by a two by four, but a criminal has to worry about going to jail.”
My life is full of regrets, but it all happened in the past and no one can change the past. I had to learn from my mistakes and as it turns out, I'm a very bad student! It took me a long time to learn how to find true happiness.
Once I “got it”, though, I understood about the world we live in better than I have before, and I realized how anyone could still be happy, whether they were rich or poor or in the most miserable situations imaginable.

Senator Scott Brown | Not Happy with Whitey Bulgers chopper ride
In a stinging rebuke, U.S. Senator Scott Brown today slammed accused serial killer James “Whitey” Bulger’s $14,000 taxpayer-funded helicopter ride to court yesterday.
“Speaking on behalf of the people of Massachusetts who, like myself, have sat in traffic on Route 3 coming to and from Boston, I too have imagined about how nice it would be to have a helicopter get me where I needed to go,” he said today. “I agreed with US Attorney Carmen Ortiz when she said Whitey Bulger would be ‘treated like every other defendant.’ So far, that does not seem to be the case.”
The cost of the chopper ride has come into dispute as angry U.S. Marshals sought to tamp down public outrage saying the round-trip helicopter ride only cost $1,500. The U.S. Coast Guard, which ferried the geezer gangster, is sticking by its original estimate of $13,800.
“The Marshal Service takes many considerations into account when moving federal prisoners and therefore regularly varies routes of travel based on weather, threat levels, traffic patterns and other significant events that may be happening in the area,” the Marshal service said in a statement sent to the Herald today.
The U.S. Coast Guard, however, stood by its number saying the $13,800 reflects the cost of fuel, manpower, and wear and tear on the aircraft, said Petty Officer Luke Clayton. The Coast Guard let marshals use their helicopter for Bulger’s ride to and from federal court in Boston yesterday. Brown urged the Marshal’s office to find a better way to move the elderly gangster.
“This seems to be far in excess of what the Marshals have provided in the past to federal detainees,” Brown said.
The Bay State Republican then called on federal prosecutors to find cheaper transportation for Bulger: “In the absence of an extraordinary and specific security concern that would render alternative transport options a threat to public safety, I strongly urge your office to explore less costly and less extravagant means to bring this person and all federal detainees to and from their court appearances.”
“Speaking on behalf of the people of Massachusetts who, like myself, have sat in traffic on Route 3 coming to and from Boston, I too have imagined about how nice it would be to have a helicopter get me where I needed to go,” he said today. “I agreed with US Attorney Carmen Ortiz when she said Whitey Bulger would be ‘treated like every other defendant.’ So far, that does not seem to be the case.”
The cost of the chopper ride has come into dispute as angry U.S. Marshals sought to tamp down public outrage saying the round-trip helicopter ride only cost $1,500. The U.S. Coast Guard, which ferried the geezer gangster, is sticking by its original estimate of $13,800.
“The Marshal Service takes many considerations into account when moving federal prisoners and therefore regularly varies routes of travel based on weather, threat levels, traffic patterns and other significant events that may be happening in the area,” the Marshal service said in a statement sent to the Herald today.
The U.S. Coast Guard, however, stood by its number saying the $13,800 reflects the cost of fuel, manpower, and wear and tear on the aircraft, said Petty Officer Luke Clayton.

Whitey Bulger | US attorney trying to get out from in front of Judge Wolf
The U.S attorney's office in Boston is up to its old tricks. They are now trying to dismiss the 1994 indictment of Whitey so they won't have to try the case in front of Judge Wolf. The reason behind this is simple. Judge Wolf knows all of the Governments tricks. He was the one that forced the FBI to disclose that Whitey was an informant. He is also the Judge that ordered a U.S Attorney to appear before him and sent the U.S Marshalls to go get him from his dentist appointment when he didn't show up.
This is the same Judge who signed the warrant to place listening devices in the home of Vinnie Federico's sister during the mafia induction ceremony way back when. He was lied to on that occasion also. They already had a rat (Sunny Mecurio) that was going to be present during the ceremony, therefore they never needed to bug the house but the government withheld that info. Which by the way is illegal and makes the taped conversations in admissible.
I have a funny feeling that Judge Wolf knows what is going on and he will not allow the case the dismissed. We will have to watch and see, but it gets better every day....

Whitey Bulger | Federal Court | Stall tactics
Whitey didn't seem like himself in court yesterday. Maybe it was the food at Plymouth County Correctional facility. I have been a guest there in the past and the food sure can take the smile off your face.
Usually this Rat has a good one liner all set up but yesterday he said nothing and wouldn't even look at reporters. Doesn't he know that the Boston media is only reporting his story? Come on Whitey, give us something to work with or at least shave that beard already. You got caught, no need to keep the disguise on. You look like a child molester. On second thought keep it on.
If you have a minute read this link. Kevin Cullen is a great reporter.

Eddie Mckenzie's story becomes a movie | Whitey Bulger | Boston Mob
That nit wit Eddie McKenzie is getting his story told on the big screen. It will most likely be in english but still have english subtitles. This guy is permanently on tilt. I saw him on the local Boston Fox affiliate and you could tell he clearly took the short bus to school not to mention that his stylist loves Ed Hardy clothing and hopes that her client can afford it someday....
Hollywood is really running out of stories to tell. Maybe they can get retired boxer/junkie Peter McNeeley to play the part of McKenzie, although he may sound a little to intelligent for the part.
I had a run in with this jerk back in 2007 when he was trying to hold on to that church he's running into the ground. Now that's a story they should make a movie about.
Check out this link. Anyone can get a movie made about them.

Whtiey Bulger will take down more FBI agents | Boston Mob |
This talks about how people in South Boston think Whitey Bulger will rat out more FBI agents. It is odd how so many of these people from Southie still hold this dirtbag in such high regards. One woman talks about how he helped some poor sexually assaulted woman and her family move to Florida. He most likely had her assaulted because he wanted her apartment to sell drugs out of.
The thing I am looking forward to is the infamous "tapes". When Whitey first went on the lam some of his rat associates said whenever he met with the FBI he always recorded the conversations. These tapes should be worth their weight in gold and if you know how that RAT thinks, he has had them stashed away just for a time like this. I bet the FBI is scouring the country looking for those tapes right now. Maybe they will start offering $100,000 to the person that can tell them where they are. Maybe someone in Iceland will get another check from the FBI..... Iceland, thats a good one!

Whitey Bulger | Boston mob boss | Getting Meds in Mexico
According to this link James Whitey Bulger crossed the border into Mexico frequently over his 16 years on the lam to get his medication. How did the Border Patrol not notice this guy? If you show and ID thats it. No one checks to see if that person even exists? If he looked like an illegal alien I'm sure they would have detained him until they checked his info.
A neighbor they interviewed said that they treated her like a granddaughter. How, by not choking her to death and cutting her hands off and then pulling her teeth out? This girl is lucky to be alive. If Mr. Gasko slipped up one day and said something in front of her he shouldn't have she would have been buried under some expressway in LA.
Whitey is thought of as Robin Hood in South Boston but he wasn't robbing from the rich to give to the poor. He was robbing from the rich and poor alike and getting Italian mobsters locked up. Oh and one more thing he was raping their daughters. He is a RAT BASTARD just like that genius John Red Shea said.

Mitt Romney and the Boston Mob
In this article Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney makes a couple statements about the capture of Whitey Bulger. Mitt is a very funny guy. I've spent some time with Mitt in 2004 and he should just keep his mouth shut when it comes to the Boston Mob before it comes up and bites him on the ass.
I won't say anything else about my relationship with good old Mitt but I will say that not long after I met with him I was appointed Director of Security for Hubbard Regional Hospital, a state owned hospital in Webster Ma. You may consider this job post odd considering I never applied for the position and I was released from federal prison for stealing alumni donations from Tufts University only months before, and the fact that I was on federal probation, but what the hell, he was Governor and he can do whatever he likes.
Like I said earlier Mitt should just keep clear of this Boston Mob and Mafia topic and hope that those wire taps of my cell phone back in 2004 never become public. Although I still can't figure out why the Mass State Police won't release them. Maybe Mitt Romney can get them released when he becomes President but I wouldn't hole your breath.
My book will be out very soon and you can all read the real story.....

The FBI says there is no Conspiracy on Whitey Bulger capture. They even Pinky Swore on it.
The FBI is now telling us that there is no conspiracy to the Whitey Bulger capture. Boy that sure makes me feel better. Talk about the agency that cried wolf. They lied to everyone for 30 years about Whitey Bulger and Stevie Flemi and now they "pinky swear" that they are on the up and up and they are getting upset that you don't believe them. How foolish of us.
Whitey Bulger didn't go on the run 16 years ago, he friggin moved. He retired and wen't to the west coast to get some sun and who can blame him with the winters we have been having lately. I wonder if he is also responsible for Global Warming, well thats another story.
There has been a story floating around about some lady in Iceland, of all places, that called in the tip on Catherine Grieg. Now that story should be easy to track down, NOT.
The FBI has such a checkered past around Boston that if they told me it was raining outside I'd go look out the window just to make sure. The FBI is trying to change their image. I suggest they do what the KGB has done, just change your name. It almost worked for KGB and for Mr. Gasko, I mean Bulger.

FBI STORY ON WHITEY BULGER CAPTURE NOT SO PLAUSIBLE
Conspiracy theory: FBI's Bulger 'tip' fails sniff test
Boston Business Journal - by Pat Lawlor
Date: Thursday, June 23, 2011, 4:33pm EDT
Call me a conspiracy theorist. I'll wear the name as a badge of honor. But there is no way I am buying this FBI version of the events leading to Catherine Greig and James "Whitey" Bulger's arrest. Maybe my skepticism is rooted in my reading habits. I admit I have read waaaaay too many true crime-Boston gangstah books over the years. "The Brothers Bulger," "Black Mass," " Hitman," " Valhalla 's Wake." You name it, I read 'em all.
So, yes, my opinion might be tainted after reading pages and pages filled with criminals' version of events. But I bet many people are thinking the same thing. Something stinks.
After watching Thursday's law enforcement press conference/back patting fest ("I would like to thank the academy..."), I have concluded that what the FBI is telling us and what actually happened are two totally different things. So in the spirit of this amazing ongoing story that is already too incredible to believe, indulge me in what I think may have happened. You tell me what sounds more plausible.
My theory? Catherine Greig wanted to turn herself in.
Whitey is 81 and probably in bad health, and Greig has no future, is afraid of a long prison term and just wants this whole thing to be over. So maybe she reaches out to a lawyer in the Santa Monica area who reaches out to the FBI to see what kind of deal he can get her. Sound plausible? Ok.
The FBI's reaction?
"You can't turn yourself in, you are under arrest!" There is NO WAY the FBI was going to let her make a deal and walk into a police station all tanned and say, "I surrender, and here is Whitey." The FBI does not want to look stupid, especially in this case. So now, because of the overture of surrender, the FBI knows exactly where she and Whitey are living. Maybe the FBI even follows the lawyer around for a few days and he leads them directly to Whitey and Catherine's hideout. Who knows.
What we do know is that the FBI suddenly and without explanation starts calling press conferences and unveils a bull@^&$ commercial campaign targeting Catherine Greig. The FBI seemed to be in an awful hurry, all of a sudden, to catch Catherine Greig, didn't they? Why? Because she was trying to surrender and the FBI could not let that happen. It was a race.
So they come up with this lame commercial campaign, knowing that a real tip would probably come in from Southern California . What would usually be a needle in a haystack tip, could now be hand picked and used as the real tip. You follow me?
A couple of problems for the FBI now. They were too cute by half. You see, the FBI didn't run these commercials in the LA area which includes Santa Monica . They made sure to state that a few times already. Why would they not run the commercials in LA? It makes no sense whatsoever, none. They did it to cover their own tracks so they can say, "We didn't know where she was, see we didn't even run the ads in the LA area." Its crap. Why would they run ads all over California and other handpicked areas and not LA? The FBI said in Catherine Greig probably had numerous plastic surgeries. Guess what guys, there are a few plastic surgeons in Los Angeles .
And since the FBI doesn't have to answer anyone's questions, we all just have to swallow this story. I am sure the FBI will soon tell us that they cannot reveal the identity of the person who came forward with the tip, in order to protect their safety and this will all be forgotten. But not by me. This case is different. The FBI is involved criminally in it so we can't look at it like any other case. I want real answers and detailed explanations. What I don't want and will not accept is this: "Oh we suddenly decided to run some commercials in California , but not LA, and someone called us and told us where Catherine and Whitey were living" story. Sorry, its not passing the sniff test.
Maybe my version is not the truth, but I know one thing, it's more plausible than the crock the FBI is selling.
