Kevin Weeks, “Kevin Squeaks”. After he flipped and became a rat in less than a month, his new moniker became “Two Weeks”.

Whitey Bulger’s “surrogate son.” Born 1956, one-time professional criminal, now a professional witness in criminal cases, and soon to become a professional author. Pleaded guilty to taking part in five murders, leading Zip Connolly, his former cohort in the gang, to describe him in a recent court filing as a “serial killer.” After Whitey went on the lam in 1994, Weeks remained his eyes and ears on the street until he was indicted in 1999, after which he flipped almost instantly. The man formerly known in Southie as “Kevin Squeaks” became known as “Two Weeks,” which was how long he stood up under federal heat.

Has two children; is an in-law of Stippo Rakes,
 

Weeks grew up in the projects; both of his brothers went to Harvard, and he got no further than South Boston High School Class of ’74. He claimed he could always remember the first time he saw Whitey, at around age 13, slithering through the projects. He was so malevolent, Weeks recalled, that he was staring, until his brother told him to stop because it was dangerous. One of his brothers, Jack, became an advanceman for Gov. Mike Dukakis, and the other, Bill, became a selectman in Acton.

            Among his memorable statements as a witness:

n      On Whitey’s thoughts on Christmas: “Christmas is for cops and kids.”

n      On Whitey’s driving: “Jim Bulger could make a lot of things magically disappear.”

n      On how they got away with it: “We weren’t in America, we were in Boston.”

Kevin Weeks’ Scrapbook

This is Triple O’s on West Broadway. Weeks began his career in the gang as a bouncer. Whitey’s hangout was formerly owned by Donnie Killeen before Whitey machine-gunned him in 1972. Then “the Transit Café”, as it had been known, was conveyed to Kevin O’Neil, another of Whitey’s gangsters who once employed Billy Bulger as his attorney. At least one gangster – Louie Litif – was murdered here, and innumerable shakedowns occurred upstairs. Soon “Squeaks” and Whitey were inseparable; Whitey did the driving, but as someone with no criminal record, Weeks could legally carry a gun.  Soon he had a job at the MBTA – “Mr. Bulger’s Transportation Authority” and he was filing accident suits for extra dough.
 

This is the South Boston Liquor Mart, which Whitey and Stevie Flemmi and Weeks extorted from Stippo Rakes, a future in-law of Weeks (although Weeks claims it wasn’t really extortion, that they bought it fair and square).

Rotary Variety, next to the Liquor Mart, where Kevin Weeks was on Dec. 23, 1994 – the day Zip Connolly tipped him that Whitey was about to be indicted by a federal grand jury. Whitey has never been seen in public again – although Weeks spoke to him many times in the next few years.

Below is Weeks’ pre-sentencing memorandum from 2004. Would it surprise you to learn that Weeks had a “physically abusive” father and that he’s a very good dad to his own kids? Still, the memorandum, signed off on by the feds, lays out his criminal (and snitching) career fairly thoroughly.

A Collection of Kevin Weeks Documents

Weeks on Jimmy Flynn

Kevin Weeks Testimony regarding John Morris from the racketeering trial of Ex-FBI Agent John Connolly in 2002. Until Weeks’ indictment in 1999, he and Zip used to meet often to discuss how to protect the Bulger interests in the wake of the indictment of Stevie Flemmi.

Lottery Winner?

In this testimony, Weeks describes how he and Whitey shared in a $14.3-million Mass. Millions Lottery prize in 1991. Whitey’s $119,000-a-year share has been gra, bbed by the feds, after several attempts by one of Whitey’s siblings to keep the money for herself.

Speaking of crooked cops....

Weeks tells about how Whitey used to “exchange gifts” with crooked cops. This was the testimony in which Weeks recalled one of Whitey’s most famous lines: “Christmas is for cops and kids.” He also discusses how Zip Connolly, the gangster who was also an FBI agent, had to be warned by Whitey that he was becoming too flashy in spending his ill-gotten gains.
 

Weeks on Crooked BPD cop Michael Flemmi.

In this testimony, Weeks describes how he joined Whitey’s mob, and the lessons he learned from Whitey, and how, years later, he hung with the third Flemmi brother, Michael, a corrupt Boston cop who is now in prison.
 

Weeks on George Kaufman

George Kaufman, one-time keeper of the Winter Hill arsenal.
Whitey thought you could never have too many guns. And you could never move them often enough. And Weeks stuck to that plan even after Whitey went on the lam in 1994. Here, at the trial of Stevie Flemmi’s crooked-cop brother Michael, Weeks went into some detail about the arsenal, and how it was moved around.
 

Check out the lawyer’s interrogation of Flemmi about McIntyre’s final moments.

Flemmi's Testimony

More under oath Weeks on McIntyre, murdered by Whitey 1984.

The Murder of Deborah Hussey, Stevie’s stepdaughter and lover (since the age of 13). This occurred in 1985.

Kevin Weeks further explains how Whitey and Stevie double-teamed the murder of the young Hussey woman.

Kevin Weeks description of Deborah Hussey

The prosecutor later asked Weeks why he never tried to stop any of these murders.
This is what Weeks replied.

Weeks on cross examination was asked more about Deborah Hussey.

On Bucky Barrett...

Weeks explains how Whitey murdered a well-to-do Charlestown hoodlum named Arthur “Bucky” Barrett in 1983. Whitey had been looking to take Bucky down ever since the infamous Depositors Trust bank burglary in Medford , on Memorial Day weekend 1980. Weeks explains, under oath at the trial of Stevie Flemmi’s brother, ex-Boston cop Michael Flemmi, how the hit went down.

Post script: two of Barrett’s sons later killed themselves by jumping in front of Red Line trains.
 

Brian Halloran, half-assed wiseguy who was looking to testify against Whitey, was also there, and he needed a ride. He asked Donahue for a lift, and Donahue said yes, not knowing that Whitey was waiting outside to kill him.
 

What did Whitey teach his younger protégé about how to survive as a criminal? What true-crime books were on Whitey’s required-reading list? Here’s the account of Whitey’s lessons to Weeks, taken from one of his appearances in court as a government witness.
