Detroit Gangsters: Kilpatrick and Ferguson

Kwame Kilpatrick

He received a 28 year sentence on charges that range from extrotion, racketeering, attempted extortion, bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud, rigging contract bids and filing false tax returns. Of 30 charges brought upon Kilpatrick 24 of them stuck. It is said that Kilpatrick was living well beyond his means and was lining his pockets and his friends and families pockets with millions while the city hobbled along in poverty. Kilpatrick's lawyer has argued for the justice system to hear the case again - a plea that was denied. Needless to say the city of Detroit is happy to know that this wanna be Tony Soprano will be locked up for a long time.

Bobby Ferguson

Ferguson received 22 years in prison for his role in Detroit corruption - charges were much the same as Kilpatrick's charges. Ferguson, a contractor, is said to have ran many small businesses out of business due to his corruption and bid rigging tactics. With the help of Kilpatick, he is said to have unjustly landed somewhere around 73 million dollars in contracts. Ferguson's lawyers also tried to have his case heard again claiming most of the testimony was hear say - but like with Kilpatrick, his case was also denied. Ferguson spoke at his sentencing, but his strong silent mobster image he portrayed was lost. He spoke for ten minutes, mostly rambling and even reading scripture out of his bible he clutched in his hands. Wanna be #2 Tony Soprano will be spending his next 22 years in federal prison. 

Bernard Kilpatrick

B. Kilpatrick, Kwamye's dad,  will be sentenced today for lying on his taxes. At the age of 73 his defense claims he should only receive 15 to 21 months in prison, but prosecution are seeking 27 to 33 months, his defense says the prosecution is trying to tack on to his sentence due to his sons crimes.     







Unfortunately, Both K. Kilpatrick and B. Ferguson is being asked to pay back retution money, but no one knows where this money will come from - by most accounts the city of Detroit can probably forget about seeing any of that money. 

Were is Whitey Bulger's Money?

The reputed Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger", who was convicted last Aug, on 31 accounts of charges ranging from murder (11), extortion, money laundering, and racketeering, is back in court again.

Schedule to be sentenced on Nov. 13, right now the federal government is after all of Bulger's money. Bulger was on the run from the government for 16 years where he spent most of his time in the a San Monica hideaway with his girlfriend.

At this hideaway authorities claim they have found 30 guns, some loaded, and an assortment of knives and a Taser and over $800,000. hidden in the walls. But that does not satisfy authorities, they say that through shake downs of drug dealers, gambling rings and other ileagle activity, extortion, rent payed to him by criminals, Bulger is worth somewhere around $25,000,000.00.

It is claimed that Bulger has many safety deposit boxes all around the world, and without his help chances are they won't be able to find any of that money. Considering that Bulger has always been a outlaw, I don't see how anyone could see him giving up any of the money to the authorities. Even though  he probably will not ever see freedom again, not disclosing the location and bank accounts of his money will be one last screw you to the people he has been against all his life.

Kwame Kilpatrick: Another Great Detroit Figure

Kwame Kilpatrick

Detroit is still paying for his Bullshit: as he walks up the steps to court everyday in his expensive gangster suits; walks into court claiming how broke he is, he can't pay his restitution all while his family and himself are transported around in expensive SUV and lives in a mansion in Taxes.

On the tax payers dime, he visit court for the most recent charges against him with plenty more to go, but still stays free.

And the charges that people of Detroit really want him to answer for have yet been filed and quite possibly won't be filed, the disappearance of a stripper, many believe the wife has involvement in the crime.

Either way, accused with corruption, extortion, perjury, drug use, a juicy sex sandal and parties at the Mayors Mansion, Kwame Kilpatrick fits right in with the Detroit mentality.
