MacKinnon was arrested in Florida by the feds there, the other two were already incarcerated (Geas at least is doing life, dunno about the Patriarca dude).

Took them long enough.

Northern District of West Virginia
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, August 18, 2022
Three indicted in prison homicide
CLARKSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA – Three men have been indicted in connection with the beating death of James “Whitey” Bulger.

Fotios Geas, also known as “Freddy,” age 55, Paul J. DeCologero, also known as “Pauly,” 48, and Sean McKinnon, 36, were charged on Wednesday with conspiracy to commit first degree murder.

Geas and DeCologero are accused of striking Bulger in the head multiple times and causing his death in October of 2018 while all were incarcerated at United States Penitentiary Hazleton in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia. In addition to the conspiracy charge, Geas and DeCologero have been charged with aiding and abetting first degree murder, along with assault resulting in serious bodily injury.

Geas faces a separate charge for murder by a federal inmate serving a life sentence.

McKinnon faces a separate charge of making false statements to a federal agent.

Geas is still incarcerated at USP Hazelton. DeCologero is no longer being held at USP Hazelton but remains housed in the federal prison system. McKinnon was on federal supervised release at the time of the indictment and was arrested today in Florida.

Bulger was 89 years old when he died.

Thanks Wiseguy.

Man I bet Geas is really worried about getting life for this!

Mystery solved!

That Decologero guy was about to get released soon. What a waste…

[Ivan]

I wonder if any of these guys will flip on the others haha.

Declogoro spent around 25 yrs on the inside almost half his life it probably is his home now

McKinnon was just released a couple weeks ago too


@Ivan doubt there any motivation to make a deal with any of them? They've known it was them since its happened. Despite it taking almost 4 years I'm sure it's a pretty open and shut case. McKinnon seems to be a junkie that got wrapped up in this because he was Geas' cellmate at the time so if anyone were to flip it'd be him.

Wonder if it will come out on why Bulger was placed in Gen-Pop. That’s the crazy part.

Paul j. DeCologero release death is 2026.

Weren't there other informants in Boston before Bulger? Such as Flemmi, Wimpy bennett and possibly Buddy mclean so what makes Bulger different and is just because he was a fugitive for sixteen years and had a brother in politics?

I was kidding but yeah you're right. It's possible McKinnon might make some kind of deal after being teased with fresh air for a couple weeks.

Here is hoping they get acquitted. Bulger absolutely deserved the fate he received. Bureau of Prisons murdered him by sending him to that prison anyway.

[Pmac2]

Will be a media circus of the trial. Haven't had one in a long time. Geas must Luke the fame
