The FBI has paid out $2.1 million in reward money for the information that led to the capture of feared Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, according to the bureau. The Boston FBI office last week got the green light to disburse $2 million for Bulger and an additional $100,000 in reward money for his companion, Catherine Greig.
"As of Friday, September 23, 2011, the FBI has paid this reward money to more than one individual," the bureau said, without disclosing any information about the parties collecting the reward.
Bulger, who is charged with 19 murders in the 1970s and 80s in Boston, was arrested in June in Santa Monica, California, where he had been living under an assumed name with long-term girlfriend Greig, 60.
In addition to accusations that Bulger murdered mob rivals, potential witnesses and others who threatened him, prosecutors accuse him of a crime spree spanning into the 1990s that included extortion, money laundering and, at one point, running guns to Northern Ireland's IRA militants.

How much did Billy Bulger get?
It’s news precisely because such money after being extravagantly announced is almost NEEEEEEEVER paid.
It’s the biggest scam in the world.
I love bulgar!
Catherine was a rat? She hid out with him for years and
sells him in the end? Don’t ever piss a woman off, I guess..
No, there was an additional 100,000 for the person who turned in Catherine. Bulger was worth 2,000,000.
I saw that headline and thought we had another Anthony Weiner story here......
What, does the FBI have its own money?
