ID FILMS Documentary Premieres Monday, June 3 at 10 PM E/P
After 16 years on the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted’ list, infamous Irish Mafia boss James (Whitey) Bulger was apprehended on June 22, 2011, in a rent-controlled, beachfront apartment in Santa Monica, CA. To those who only knew him by an alias, few could have guessed that the man who left milk on his doorstep for neighborhood cats was, in fact, a fugitive crime boss believed to have killed at least 19 people, a calculating mastermind whose criminal empire extended across the country, and, unlike other upper echelon crime figures, an FBI informant who operated under the protection of the country’s most powerful law enforcement agency for 20 years. Produced by Northern Light Productions, an official production company of The Mob Museum in Las Vegas, and based on the book Whitey: The Life of America’s Most Notorious Mob Boss by Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neil, WHITEY BULGER: THE MAKING OF A MONSTER digs deep into the mind of a psychopath, exploring the roots of Bulger’s insatiable need for power and control. WHITEY BULGER: THE MAKING OF A MONSTER premieres Monday, June 3 at 10 PM E/P as part of Investigation Discovery’s ID FILMS documentary strand.

The secret world of Italy’s other Mafia. Jim Shelley goes underground to uncover the organization that is scarier than La Cosa Nostra

It may have a strange name but there is nothing funny about the ‘Ndrangheta.
Based in Calabria – the rugged rural region at the ‘toe’ of the Italian coastline – the ‘Ndrangheta is Italy’s OTHER Mafia organisation, more secretive and scarier than even La Cosa Nostra.
From obscure, almost humble beginnings, it is now the prime target for crack anti-crime, anti-corruption units across Italy.

Reporter John Dickie’s fascinating but chilling documentary The Mafia’s Secret Bunkers was part of the BBC’s This World series but in fact it was actually a look at another world; an underground world; a mysterious and brutal world that has already occupied large parts of Italian life and now begun to spread its ruthless tentacles across Europe.
Viewers would probably be surprised to learn that the biggest cocaine traffickers across Europe today are not the Sicilian Mafia, the Jamaican Yardies or Albanian gangs but the ‘Ndrangheta of the little-known rural area, Calabria.

Yeah, wow. These hombres sound almost as bad as all the presidents, vice presidents, generals, heads of state and captains of industry who have killed, robbed, tortured, lied, committed genocide, started wars and raped the earth. Only instead of prison, they got power, bonuses, stock options, monuments, inflated speaking fees and book advances. I guess Mr Moynihan is saving them for another article. Can’t wait.

In his memoirs, Gentleman Thief (1995), Scott admitted to an even stronger motivation than fear as he contemplated another job, – Even now, after 30 years, it was a sexual thrill. There was the additional satisfaction in his assumption that the millions reading about his exploits in the papers were silently cheering him on.

He was born Peter Craig Gulston on February 18 1931 into a middle-class military family in Belfast. His father died when he was young, and his mother, sensing that Peter was destined to be trouble, emigrated to the United States. By the time he left the Belfast Royal Academy, where he was one of the brightest boys but inept at exams, he had squandered his father’s inheritance.
While still in his teens he was wandering the Malone Road in his school scarf burgling houses of the well-off and stashing the spoils in a rugby bag slung over his shoulder. He estimated that he had committed 150 such – screwers – before the police finally nailed him in 1952. – They never suspected me, – he explained, – because I looked like a resident. When the police eventually caught on, I had done so many jobs that they were embarrassed and only charged me with 12.

Peter Scott, who has died aged 82, was a highly accomplished cat burglar, and as Britain’s most prolific plunderer of the great and good took particular pains to select his victims from the ranks of aristocrats, film stars and even royalty.
According to a list of 100 names he supplied to The Daily Telegraph, he targeted figures such as Soraya Khashoggi, Shirley MacLaine, the Shah of Iran, Judy Garland and even Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother – although he added apologetically that, in her case, the authorities had covered up by issuing a D-notice.
In 1994 Scott wrote to the newspaper to say that he would consider it – a massive disappointment if I were not to get a mention in illustrious obituary column. He explained that he derived much pleasure from reading accounts of the exploits of war heroes, adding, – I would like to think I would have fronted the Hun with the same enthusiasm as I did the fleshpots in Mayfair.

How To Hire An Assassin On The Secret Internet For Criminals

There are people on the internet claiming to offer contract killing services for hire.
They advertise their wares via Tor, an anonymous and decentralized network of websites that exist off the grid and out of sight of Google, Facebook, and conventional web browsers.
 

 
And in an effort to keep payment out of sight, transactions all take place with Bitcoin, a digital currency that is similarly decentralized and anonymous.
Whether these guys are legitimate or not, you can use the specialized Tor browser you can find and communicate with them. It’s illegal, of course. But here they are.
