Page "Whitey Bulger" Paragraph 49

According to Kevin Weeks, In 1993, and 1994, before the pinches came down, Jimmy and Stevie were traveling on the French and Italian Riviera.

The two of them traveled all over Europe, sometimes separating for a while.

Sometimes they took girls, sometimes just the two of them went.

They would rent cars and travel all through Europe.

It was more preparation than anything, getting ready for another life.

They didn't ask me to go, not that I would have wanted to.

Jimmy had prepared for the run for years.

He'd established a whole other person, Thomas Baxter, with a complete ID and credit cards in that name.

He'd even joined associations in Baxter's name, building an entire portfolio for the guy.

He'd always said you had to be ready to take off on short notice.

And he was.
