Boston was so fucking polluted with corrupt feds, politicians, other law enforcement, it was a joke. That bastard fed Rico dictated the terms to the Deegan murder, he knew the whole time who really did it, but set up the Italians, which was garbage. Some say the Italians had evidence of Rico and Hoover and the other pickles in the FBI who liked to play with eachother and would blackmail the shit out of him. So Rico had a personal grudge and wanted to take down all the LCN members he could. He set up a few guys for Winter Hill to kill during the Irish gang war also. He was a true piece of shit, fucking scumbag. He loved Buddy Mclean, and it was probably cause he wanted a piece of Buddys hollywood looks
