Hello Mr. Boeri! Thanks for the AMA! I haven't been living in Boston that long, so I'll admit that I don't know as much about the case as I'd like to. So, I just went on Wikipedia to learn more, and I read that "Local Folklore depicted Bulger as a Robin Hood-style social bandit dedicated to protecting the neighborhood and its residents." How do you feel about this characterization? Where did it come from? For a man accused of 19 murders, this seems awfully generous...

Also a more general question - it sounds like he made a lot of money in his 'career,' I was wondering if you have any idea what happens to it if he is convicted/if there is any left?

I'm a huge fan of yours, and I'm really excited to be voting for you in Cambridge in the Democratic primary! I am also a pre-med student. What advice do you have for pre-med students, and what (if anything) do you think we can do throughout our training and career to change our broken system (other than support you, of course)?? Thanks for doing this AMA!
