It was Daniel Day Lewis's image they used from the Scorcese film, but to be fair they'd be hard pushed to find a photo of the real guy, and if they had we'd have spent 5 pages of this thread wondering who the hell was the guy on the UB banner.

The character in the film was based on Poole but changed for the movie and the character was called bill cutter. A character created by an Italian American catholic and portrayed but an Irish Anglo actor. Its a bit like getting mad at the dinosaurs in jurassic park for eating humans. It was just a film.
