Whitey Bulger didn’t commit suicide.
Corrupt prison officials leaked his transfer details to the mob who did the FIB’s wet work.
True, but Whitey Bulger knew where a lot of bodies were buried. It is likely IMHO that even though many years had passed, he had incriminating evidence against others in the FBI besides the few who had been indicted. And also, there’s the other side of it... criminals don’t like a rat.
I don’t think Weinstein has either of these problems. He abused the casting couch behind his own closed doors, alone with his victims. It was well known he was very sexually aggressive, probably criminal, throughout the society he frequented. But, it yielded roles, so it went unchecked for a long time.
But, I don’t think he has any great tales to tell. Most of his stories are just self-incriminating.
Now, it is quite a come-down from Harvey Weinstein, rich and legendary producer, to Riker’s inmate. Maybe he might consider killing himself. But I don’t think he’s worth killing by any of his old friends.
