During his time as the head of the Winter Hill Gang, he would often collaborate with corrupt FBI agents such as John Connolly, snitching on rival gangs. He was convicted on 19 counts of murder. His criminal history was the subject of the 2015 film ''Black Mass'' in which he was portrayed by veteran actor Johnny Depp.
