While the carnival of the Whitey Bulger trial continues down at the Federal Courthouse, it's the sideshow that is the more exciting at the moment with the revelation that "Stippo" Rakes did not commit suicide because he was despondent over being deprived of a chance to carry out his bucket list goal of testifying against the Whitester. He did not commit suicide at all but was alledgedly given a cyanide iced coffee by his old buddy-boy and dead-beat debtor, William Camuti.
Camuti, aged 69, seems to have dropped some enormous electronic bread crumbs as to his doings, which led to his arrest.
Herewith, some additional tips for felonious fogeys.
1. Remember that the Internet may be invisible but it is eternal.
Okay, Gramps, you went down to adult ed where some whippersnapper taught you how to find out useful stuff on the internet. Guess you bunked class the day they covered that pesky history trail that keeps a record of sites you surfed. No wonder you're shocked that some other whippersnapper will then be able to find out that in between trolling for "adult entertainment" and checking up on the Red Sox you were Googling cyanide poisoning for fun and profit.
2. Trust people if you must, but under no circumstances trust your devices.
Forget NSA, your GPS knows where you've been.
All those handy little electronic slaves who keep you on track, tell you when to take your Metamucil, and remind you to buy a birthday card for your bookie? The ones who talk to you, whistle at you, and answer your every question? They are little blabbermouths, without conscience and without fear, and they will rat you out much faster than a crooked cop or a jilted dame.
3. Know your beverages.
Here's one thing Camuti got right: chain restaurant iced coffee is so vile that it makes a practical delivery system for poison.
Rich, bold flavor, indeed.
