LOS ANGELES — Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger kept hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash hidden behind the walls of his Santa Monica, Calif., apartment and traveled — sometimes in disguise and armed — to Boston, Las Vegas and Mexico, according to court records made public Monday in Boston.
The documents offer tantalizing additional details about how Bulger and his longtime companion, Catherine Greig, managed to live undetected in Santa Monica for at least 14 years, even though he was one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives. Bulger also told the FBI he once traveled to Boston “armed to the teeth” because he “had to take care of some unfinished business.” No further details on that trip were available.
