00:00The Hells Angels have had epic clashes, brutal wars that have left dozens and dozens of people
00:22dead.
00:23The pagans were putting so much pressure on the Hells Angels in Philly.
00:26The blue wave was supposed to be this giant wave of pagans, washing from one end of the
00:30country to the other end of the country.
00:32If you mess up or disrespect them, there's going to be a huge price to pay and that could
00:36be your life.
00:37When you got the crown, everybody wants to beef with you.
00:40Heavy lies the crown.
00:41The Hells Angels are a constant threat to them.
00:43Sooner or later, everybody talks.
00:56You can't stop me now, you can't stop me now, you can bury me, lay down under, I'll
01:03rise above.
01:04I'm going to come down under, shake the ground, yeah.
01:05You can't stop me now, you can't stop me now, you can't stop me now, you can't stop me now,
01:06you can't stop me now.
01:26In June 2023, I broke a story about a seminal meeting of biker chiefs that should have probably
01:39never happened.
01:40You need to understand the history between these three groups.
01:48At least 15 murders have been attributed to gang violence since 1979.
01:53The Hells Angels and the Outlaws, the Hells Angels and the Banditos have had epic clashes,
02:00brutal wars that have left dozens and dozens of people dead.
02:04So the fact that they would be sitting together at a table to potentially negotiate a peace
02:11was just mind-bending, groundbreaking news.
02:17According to my sources, they had convened there to discuss creating an alliance to combat
02:24the pagans who were spreading across the country, fast and furious, in what was called the Blue
02:31Wave.
02:33The pagans' alleged leader, Keith Conan the Barbarian Richter, is about to be released
02:39from prison and the biker world is about to be turned upside down.
02:44The fact that these three clubs that had been bitter rivals for years were willing to set
02:50aside their differences to combat a common enemy told you that there was a tsunami coming
02:55down the pike.
03:02I was 20 years old.
03:03I'd read Hunter Thompson's book on the Hells Angels, pretty much inspired everyone that
03:08rode a bike.
03:10And I don't think anybody that rode a bike hadn't read it.
03:13We thought it was cool.
03:18I spent 13 years in the club, the Banditos, chapter in San Antonio, I was the founding
03:23vice president.
03:24Partied a lot, man, you know, it's a different world out there now.
03:30The Banditos are kind of the Hells Angels without the PR image.
03:39The Banditos are the ugly Hells Angels, the Hells without the Angels.
03:43The slogan is, we're the people your mother warned you about.
03:48We're the boogeymen.
03:49I used to ride up to the people on the street on my bike and I'd hear door locks.
03:54I was thinking, God, you know, like I'm going to jump off the bike and bother y'all.
03:59The door locks went off, we were doing good.
04:03My father, Don Chambers, was the founder of the Bandito Motorcycle Club on March 4, 1966.
04:16Don Chambers identified Texas as a fertile ground to build a biker kingdom from the ground
04:22up and that's what he did.
04:25Daddy had Texas, the Hells Angels had California.
04:30The Hells Angels weren't allowed to come into Texas, that was his territory.
04:35If a Hells Angel was going to come into Texas, you're going to have to talk to daddy.
04:42You began to have quite a few skirmishes between Banditos and Hells Angels over the fact that
04:50Hells Angels did not think that any other biker club should even exist.
04:54That if it's not the Hells Angels, you're not a biker club.
05:01Bikers take their territory very seriously.
05:04There were actually Hells Angels that were killed for going into Texas.
05:10I'd heard about the Hells Angels.
05:12Sonny Barger sat in my daddy's house.
05:17Daddy went, Don Lee, you think you can stop long enough to let me introduce you to somebody?
05:24You know, I'm 14, I want to be with my friends and go to the beach.
05:28He goes, this is Sonny Barger, president of the Hells Angels.
05:31And I thought, oh my gosh, because I always heard they were rivals with each other.
05:38Sonny Barger was asking daddy to quit sending his Hells Angels back on the airplane.
05:49Then daddy walked me out on the porch.
05:51I said, what's this guy mowing our yard for?
05:54He was a Hells Angel prospect.
05:56He goes, because I told him to.
06:001972, Don Chambers was burned in a drug deal.
06:04He thought he was buying methamphetamine.
06:06In reality, he was being sold funk baking soda.
06:10As retaliation, drew these culprits to a meeting, had them dig their own graves.
06:18Told them they needed to go into the graves so they could go meet Jesus Christ.
06:22And proceeded to execute them.
06:27They were made to dig their own graves.
06:31Everybody thought that daddy killed them.
06:34I don't know if daddy put the order down.
06:37I don't know if daddy had the gun in his hand.
06:40But I guess it was a message to get across.
06:47If you look at the banditos and the downfall of their founder, Don Chambers,
06:52it went to a prospect that was having issues in his prospecting and being hazed.
06:59And he became an informant and went to the police.
07:05The banditos are known for and differ from other clubs is their initiation rituals
07:10that are not like the other clubs.
07:15Everybody's patch got initiated.
07:17We used to take our colors off, put them on the ground,
07:19everybody pissed on them, then we'd wear them home.
07:23There was one time I was at a place and somebody took a poop on the set of colors.
07:32About 13 people got initiated.
07:34Bona Libre Day in Rio Doce, New Mexico.
07:38People were throwing up.
07:40One guy had diarrhea.
07:42And it's gross.
07:44Cops didn't infiltrate bike clubs back then because of that.
07:47No cop was going to stand for that kind of shit.
07:50This is more than just a motorcycle gang.
07:53Authorities here, and a number of other states,
07:56say the Hells Angels have become a national criminal organization,
08:00more ruthless than even the mafia.
08:02When you decide that you want to be a Hells Angel,
08:05they take your photo, they distribute, they fax your photo to all the other chapters
08:10so somebody has a look at you to make sure that you haven't had a beef with somebody
08:14or that you don't owe anybody anything.
08:17The Hells Angels were very restrictive.
08:21It was harder to get into the Hells Angels than the American Army.
08:26Any prospect has to go through at least a year, usually longer,
08:30working for the full-patch members.
08:33And they are virtual slaves.
08:35We're like three years from hang around prospect.
08:39You know, it's a long time, right?
08:41And they would keep you awake.
08:43I saw some weird stuff.
08:47The East End Hells Angel, when he was a prospect and he got a blowjob
08:51from a hooker they had picked up who didn't have any teeth
08:54in front of everybody in the clubhouse,
08:57and he said they all started laughing because they said,
09:00all the guys started going, he's enjoying it, he's enjoying it, okay, stop.
09:04I saw the prospect from Sherbrooke with one of the hookers on top of the bar.
09:10In intimate relations.
09:12Yeah, awkward.
09:14In front of everyone.
09:15Probably 60, 70 guys.
09:18They want the prospects to know that in order to get here,
09:21you have to work, you have to be trustworthy,
09:23and you have to be able to put up with anything.
09:26You have to be able to put up with anything.
09:28In order to get here, you have to work, you have to be trustworthy,
09:31and you have to be able to put up with anything.
09:36Members will ask you questions you have to have the answers for,
09:39and some answers, if you don't have them right,
09:41you'll get bang checked right in your forehead,
09:43punched in your chest, because you need to know certain things.
09:46The banditos, they were much less restrictive,
09:49so they were expanding faster because they weren't as selective.
09:54Sonny Barger, who helped organize the group 21 years ago,
09:58and is considered by many to be the most powerful man in the Hells Angels.
10:02Sonny figured that our competitors are going international, right?
10:06Like, we need to make a mark in other countries.
10:10Normally in Denmark, we drive on Harley Davidson.
10:14Strength is in numbers, and strength is in presence and territory.
10:21The banditos looked to the rest of the world to expand to,
10:25and a lot of them naturally thought Europe.
10:31A lot of them are quite racist and xenophobic,
10:34but, you know, the European countries are sort of a step in between,
10:38and a lot of those places took to them very quickly,
10:41particularly the Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden.
10:46And the biker gangs became very, very powerful there.
10:49They've styled themselves as modern-day Vikings,
10:53rival motorcycle gangs involved in a battle which has spread across Scandinavia.
11:01At the height of the war, members of the Hells Angels
11:04killed the banditos' chapter president at the Copenhagen airport.
11:10Because the banditos weren't afraid of being the bad guys,
11:14I don't think they had the intelligence or the control
11:17or the discipline that the Hells Angels have.
11:23Later that same year, during the Hells Angels' annual Viking party,
11:27a bandito launched a rocket into the Hells Angels' headquarters.
11:31A local woman, who was an innocent passerby, was killed during the attack.
11:37People were frightened because anti-tank rockets were used.
11:42Automatic weapons were used.
11:44Stuff that had been stolen from the military.
11:46The level of destruction was huge.
11:50These are some of the weapons seized from the bikers.
11:53The police chief in charge of the investigation says
11:56this wasn't just a gangland feud, it was a war.
12:01It's a global battle that's played out in the fields of Europe.
12:05You have the Hells Angels and the banditos
12:08fighting over money and turf and the profits from cocaine.
12:14It was the great Nordic biker war where Norway and Sweden,
12:18bikers there with the Hells Angels were fighting for territory.
12:22We had over a hundred casualties.
12:27But now a truce has been called between the leader of the Hells Angels
12:31and the head of the rival bandito gang.
12:34We've never seen a truce like this in the biker world.
12:37Unfortunately, those friendly handshakes didn't extend over to North America.
12:46Just as things were winding down in the war in Europe,
12:49things were just starting to heat up in North America
12:52between the Hells Angels and the banditos.
12:551990s, cocaine is a goldmine.
12:58It's like a blank check for organized crime and the bikers.
13:05The cocaine business really centered in Quebec, in Montreal
13:10because of the port, because of the transnational smuggling business.
13:17Stagnant had a reputation of being kind of an odd guy.
13:21He's a mystery even to people who are in the Hells Angels.
13:25He's quite small, he looks, he's jockey size.
13:28His face is quite marked up because his motorcycle once blew up on him
13:32and someone crashed into it.
13:34Even back in high school, he was known for dressing very, very well.
13:38He was known for being a very, very smart guy.
13:42He had a customized belt buckle that you could flip around and turn into a knife.
13:46That belt was specialty.
13:48It was given to him by the Hells Angels for recognition of what he had done for the club.
13:52And it was huge.
13:53He takes that sort of thing really seriously.
13:56It isn't just a bit of clothing, it's a sign of respect.
13:59It's a sign of respect.
14:01It's a sign of respect.
14:03It's a sign of respect.
14:05It's a sign of respect.
14:07It's a sign of respect.
14:09It's not just a bit of clothing, it's a sign of respect.
14:151992, Stavnik's arrested with $90,000 in a bag he's carrying in the airport in cash.
14:23The police found a large sum of money on him, including some of it in his belt.
14:28And the cops confiscated it.
14:32When it came to trial, they couldn't prove that it was procedure crime.
14:35When it was returned to Walter, it appeared as though the cops had played hockey with a belt buckle.
14:43And some he sued for the mental anguish of having his belt ruined.
14:47In a calculated show of force, the Hells Angels rumble into Ontario.
14:52They are going to show police and local gangs they have the muscle and desire to take over the drug trade.
14:59Hells Angels wanted to conquer the entire market.
15:02They wanted to be the only distributors of drugs in all of Canada.
15:07The bikers are sitting atop this treasure trove of cocaine riches.
15:12But their rivals are the dreaded rock machine.
15:18The Hells Angels wanted to make it very clear on the street that you either dealt with them or you didn't deal at all.
15:27You were going to get your drugs from the Hells Angels and if not, we're going to kill you.
15:33It was a turf thing.
15:36If you're going to sell drugs, you have to go through the Hells Angels.
15:39You have to know a Hells Angel or you're going to be in trouble.
15:43And the rivals didn't want to use them as their suppliers, as their muscle.
15:49They banded together a group of bar owners who were also drug dealers with other local gangs and the rock machine to fight the Hells Angels.
15:59At this point, the rock machine was getting destroyed.
16:04The gangland style executions and the bombings began in the summer of 1994.
16:10Since then, 27 people have been blown up or shot dead.
16:13When the rock machine was losing the war, they knew they needed help and reinforcements.
16:20The rock machine came up with an idea to pitch the Bandidos on a patchover alliance in the middle of their war against the Hells Angels.
16:31And it wasn't until early 2001 at a ceremony at the rock machine's Kingston clubhouse that the full patchover took place and the rock machine officially became Bandidos.
16:44What worries police trying to stop the bloody turf war in Quebec is that the rock machine has now cut a deal to merge with the Bandidos, Texas-based arch rivals of the Hells Angels.
16:58The concern is that could lead to even more violence.
17:03Now, suddenly, it's not just the rock machine and the Hells Angels battling it out in Montreal.
17:08It's Hells Angels versus the Bandidos.
17:14Two shootings within an hour and a half of one another.
17:17Both victims were taken to hospital, both known to police.
17:22This bloody biker war has become a constant source of frustration for police.
17:26Over the next few years, we see something like 162 killings in the Montreal area.
17:35I mean, the streets were like filled with ambulances, bombs going off.
17:40Like the worst days of Al Capone and the Chicago mobsters.
17:44The motorcycle gangs are at war.
17:47They use bombs because they have messages to deliver.
17:50And the preferred weapon is bombs.
17:53For the very good reason that it delivers a message in a more spectacular way.
17:57The police decide, we have to stop this war between Hells Angels and Bandidos.
18:04Let's go for the weaker character.
18:07Back then, I was working on the anti-gang squad.
18:10And a whole team, even two teams at one point, were working 24 hours a day on the Bandidos.
18:17Called Operation Amigo.
18:20So we're talking about at least 40 police officers full time.
18:25Including surveillance, phone tappings, and the detectives writing out the warrants.
18:31That's a lot of manpower and that's a lot of money.
18:37So by the summer of 2002, the authorities in Quebec are fully immersed into Operation Amigo.
18:44And going after the Bandidos with reckless abandon.
18:49We had everything we needed to take down the Bandidos.
18:53We had the stash with the guns.
18:55We had the stash with the narcotics.
18:57We had the main players.
18:59We had surveillance.
19:00We had them on attempted murders.
19:03Police actually do the Hells Angels' job.
19:06And wipe out the Bandidos by arresting them in huge numbers.
19:11Investigators say they have been hammering down on organized crime since September.
19:17The quantity of narcotics and guns seized in that operation was quite overwhelming.
19:24For a gang that was just starting in Canada.
19:27So I can imagine a gang that's 20 times bigger, like the Hells Angels, what they have in stock.
19:36The remnants of the Bandidos, many of them actually patch over to the Hells Angels.
19:42Very seldom we do take down an organization and we always see them pop up again.
19:48But in their case, it was over and out.
19:51So the Bandidos have been eliminated in Quebec.
19:54They hang on in Ontario.
19:58After Operation Amigo concluded, the Bandidos started turning on themselves.
20:03And the internal fighting in the club led to unimaginable bloodshed.
20:13After Operation Amigo takes down the Bandidos,
20:17After Operation Amigo takes down the Bandidos,
20:20there's only about 15 members left in Canada.
20:25Giovanni Muscadine or Boxer from Toronto was their new national president.
20:30They'd felt abandoned by the American Bandidos.
20:33They wanted nothing to do with them.
20:36Boxer was already known as a very unhinged character.
20:40And his fight within the Bandidos really sent him over the edge, spiraling.
20:44His cocaine abuse got worse.
20:47And he just became more unhinged and more reckless in his behavior as the time went on.
20:54Jeff Pike, the leader of the Bandidos in the United States,
20:57sent a very clear cease and desist message to the Bandidos remaining in Canada
21:01to put an end to all of their activities.
21:05Boxer sent back his patches to Jeff Pike,
21:08decided they were no longer Bandidos,
21:10and they declared that they were now the No Surrender Crew.
21:13He had wanted to reignite the Bandidos as a powerful force in Canada.
21:17This was despite the Bandidos in the U.S. wanting it to disband entirely.
21:23Boxer doesn't like what he's hearing from the Bandidos in Texas.
21:27He goes on his own campaign emailing other Bandido chapters around the world
21:32trying to get support for him in the biker war in Canada
21:38that leadership of the Bandidos in Texas want to discontinue.
21:44And Jeff Pike sent an email back to him,
21:46basically telling him to f*** off, saying,
21:48hey, you're a Bandido, you'll do what I tell you to do.
21:52There's a lot of speculation that Jeff Pike
21:54ordered the execution and murder of the Bandidos remaining in Canada.
22:00Hey, how you doing?
22:05Wayne Kellestein had been in a number of gangs.
22:09You know, I hate to say crazy to the Hells Angels,
22:12but he really was turned down from them
22:14because they thought he was too violent and too unpredictable.
22:19But with Boxer promotion to the head of the Bandidos Canada,
22:23he became very jealous.
22:26Oh, my f***ing good God,
22:27it looks like I just climbed out of a f***ing,
22:29a hillbilly f***ing convention.
22:32Everybody who knew anything about crime knew who Wayne Kellestein was.
22:35Kellestein wanted to be a boss, he wanted to be a big deal.
22:39He was really into Nazi Germany.
22:41His farm and his barn were covered in swastikas and iron crosses
22:46and things like that.
22:48Deutschland, Deutschland.
22:53Allegedly, the U.S. Bandido leadership told Kellestein
22:56that Muscadary and the rest of the No Surrender crew were to be killed
23:01and Kellestein would become the new leader
23:03of the Canadian Bandidos as the reward.
23:06He had this plan where you murder people
23:08and dump them in the Hells Angels area, their bodies.
23:11Please turn on the Hells Angels.
23:13Please crack down on the Hells Angels and the Bandidos.
23:16I rise up.
23:21On April 8, 2006, Muscadary and seven others go to Kellestein's ranch.
23:27Wayne Kellestein and a handful of cohorts massacre eight people,
23:33eight members of the Bandidos.
23:35There's been a lot of speculation about what happened inside this farmhouse.
23:39OPP investigators believe it was an internal cleansing.
23:44It was like an assembly line murder where through the night
23:47they were taken out one by one and shot.
23:49The killing was mainly done by Kellestein himself.
23:53He would put a long gun like a rifle under the man's shirt
23:57and shoot him in the heart.
24:00CTV News discovered this video taken back in 1999
24:04of one of the men murdered over the weekend,
24:0748-year-old John Muscadary, nicknamed Boxer.
24:10He was offered a chance to be in with the killers and he didn't take it.
24:14He said, take me first. I want to go out like a man.
24:18And Wayne, being such a fan of the Nazis,
24:21made it especially hard on the Jewish member of the Bandidos,
24:25Jamie Flans, and kept taunting him throughout the killings,
24:29letting him know that he would be last,
24:32just so he'd have to live through seeing everybody else get killed.
24:36The eight bodies were placed in cars and driven to Stafford Line.
24:42They were left strewn amongst an open field in a farm.
24:47I remember calling up the leaders and asking for a statement
24:50and they just disowned the activities.
24:54The end of the Bandidos came at their own hand
24:57when they slaughtered a group of their members overnight
25:00and who wants to join a club where it's 50-50 if you get slaughtered or not?
25:05It was called the Bandidos Massacre.
25:07Each victim shot execution style.
25:11Shed and Massacre, this shows this was a sanctioned murder.
25:15You are signing the death warrant of your former brothers.
25:20Did you murder these eight people?
25:22How's that for a question?
25:24That's a dumb f***ing question.
25:26All right, well...
25:27How the f*** can you say that to me?
25:29Because I'm here and I've given you an opportunity
25:33to tell me what you did Friday and Saturday.
25:36Help yourself.
25:41On October 29, 2009,
25:44Wayne Kelstein and gang received 44 guilty verdicts
25:47for first degree murder and four for manslaughter.
25:50The Shed Massacre just kind of made everybody sick.
25:53Nobody wanted to associate with the Bandidos
25:57and it actually strengthened the Hells Angels
25:59because their brand looked so much more sophisticated,
26:05cleaner, more efficient than the Bandidos.
26:13With the Bandidos wiped out,
26:15the Hells Angels looked all the more powerful in Canada.
26:21That was until the pagans started to turn their biker world upside down.
26:30Right now we're in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
26:33Nugent's Tavern, second home of the pagan nation, Elizabeth Chapter.
26:37One for center.
26:41Pagan Norse Giant.
26:43That's the pagan center patch.
26:45Live pagan, die pagan.
26:46L-P-D-P.
26:51There are five outlaw motorcycle gangs
26:54that we refer to as the Big Five.
26:56They're top-tier operating criminal organizations.
26:59Hells Angels, outlaws,
27:02Mongols, Bandidos, and of course the pagans.
27:06They're the rivals of the Hells Angels.
27:09The pagans were formed in 1959 in Maryland.
27:13Originally a group of motorcycle enthusiasts.
27:15General public is a little more aware of who the Hells Angels are.
27:18The pagans are a little more of an unknown entity to the general public.
27:22But to law enforcement, it's said that the pagans are by far
27:25the most violent gang in the world.
27:30My name's L.T. Mangini.
27:32My father was one of the original Philadelphia members of the pagans.
27:37He was a motorcycle mechanic for Hannum's Harley Davidson.
27:42He was all about power and money.
27:47Those people wanted to be pagans.
27:49Those people wanted to be pagans.
27:51And some of them had no choice, you know,
27:53like that was their neighborhood or their brother already was a pagan
27:56or their father was.
27:58The pagans used to be pussy power, drugs, and a good time.
28:05Pagans earn their money through a number of illicit activities
28:08including arms trafficking, drug trafficking, extortion,
28:12loan sharking, even some human trafficking,
28:15and especially drug dealing.
28:16There's some evidence that they're among the largest meth dealers in the country.
28:23Hells Angels and the pagans have been feuding for a long time.
28:26It goes as far back as to the 50s.
28:29There's been pagans killed by Hells Angels
28:31and there's been Hells Angels allegedly killed by pagans.
28:35When the Hells Angels come into a community and they're looking to recruit,
28:38bad things happen.
28:39Bad things happen.
28:45The seat of power for the pagans in America forever has been in Philadelphia.
28:52Everybody's tried to give Philly as a stronghold.
28:54Philly's pagan. Philly's pagan as f***.
28:58If you're a criminal group, it's valuable territory.
29:02You're a quick drive from New York, you're a quick drive from Baltimore,
29:05you're a relatively quick drive to Boston.
29:08You're right on the water. There's a port of call there.
29:15Hells Angels pioneered this tactic, okay?
29:17It f***ing works.
29:19What you do is, when you move into a new area, you shake everybody's hand,
29:22you bring money with you, hey, you know, buy the bar out.
29:24You come as a friend.
29:25Nine out of ten, you got a little club around there,
29:27you get starstruck or whatever have you.
29:29Yeah, we're hanging out with the Hells Angels.
29:30Hells Angels respect us.
29:32Hells Angels don't f***ing respect you.
29:33They're just waiting for you guys to get greedy
29:35so they can find a break in the matrix and patch guys in.
29:38And now, that's why we call them maggots.
29:40Well, I apologize, Long Island likes to call them maggots
29:44because, well, they're maggots, parasites.
29:46They breed and they're there, you know?
29:49So that's where they get that name from.
29:53When the Hells Angels infiltrated Philly,
29:55they looked for someone who was a vulnerable target
29:58and made them betray the club.
30:01My father went to jail in 82.
30:04And when he was locked up in Texas,
30:06he was locked up with a Hells Angel.
30:08Hells Angels had been trying to come into Philadelphia forever.
30:11They said, okay, they're going to give him
30:14a couple hundred thousand dollars to start this chapter.
30:16Next thing you know, my father quits the pagans,
30:20brings all these people over with him to become Hells Angels,
30:24and then they take their pagan colors,
30:27bring them to another pagan's house late at night
30:30and put them in a trash can and call him
30:32and tell him to go back and look in the trash can.
30:34Because if you quit the one percenter club
30:36and you still have your colors,
30:38they're going to come for him, and they're going to come hard.
30:41If you disrespect them, violate their rules,
30:44there's going to be a huge price to pay,
30:46and that can be your life.
30:50The Hells Angels push into Philadelphia,
30:52which the pagans were not going to stand for.
30:54And they didn't stand for it.
30:57The pagans are a more instinctive, violent biker
31:04and the desire to do whatever they have to do
31:08to win a competition.
31:10The pagans were putting so much pressure on
31:12the Hells Angels in Philly
31:14and just doing drive-bys.
31:16Just driving by, putting pressure.
31:19One of the pagans said,
31:20Just driving by, putting pressure.
31:23One of the pagans that switched over with my father,
31:25that was the VP of the Hells Angels,
31:27got murdered on the Schuylkill Expressway.
31:30All these things start happening.
31:34Didn't look good for the Philadelphia Hells Angels.
31:40Hellraisers Ball in Long Island, New York, happens.
31:43It's an annual party.
31:44And that's when the Philadelphia pagans
31:47were just switching over to Hells Angels
31:49that my dad was taking with them.
31:52They were going up to Hellraisers Ball
31:54to get their new Hells Angels collar.
31:56It's like a christening.
31:58The pagans got wind of it
31:59and a hundred of them went up there and stormed the place.
32:03They began turning over tables
32:04and initiated a riot between the two gangs.
32:07Almost all the gang members were carrying weapons,
32:10which led to the deadly biker brawl.
32:12Sonny Barger was there that day at the Hellraisers Ball
32:14when the pagans came in and started shooting
32:16and attacking people.
32:20You had the pagans and the Hells Angels
32:23swinging it out with bats, guns, and knives
32:26in the banquet hall as well as in the parking lot.
32:29It was a bloody, bloody affair.
32:31Six shots were fired.
32:33When it was over, a 50-year-old pagan member,
32:36Robert Rutherford of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was killed.
32:41The only reason why it didn't work was the goddamn door.
32:44They had one of those goddamn turnstile doors.
32:47That shit bottlenecked everybody.
32:51That's all she wrote.
32:54When you got the crown, everybody wants to beef with you
32:57because, well, it gives you notoriety to have issues
33:00with the guys whose name is everywhere, right?
33:03Heavy lies the crown.
33:07Wading in the wings during this period of time
33:10is now arguably one of the most dangerous
33:12biker presidents in the world today.
33:14A pagan named Keith Richter,
33:17also known as Conan.
33:21Conan is a lifelong pagan,
33:23was indicted in the late 90s in a huge racketeering case
33:28involving several pagans, and he served 16 years.
33:32He was released in 2012
33:35and was able to become the leader of the pagans nationally.
33:40Conan's one of the most dangerous bikers in the world.
33:44Keith Conan the Barbarian Richter
33:47has had a meteoric rise in the pagans
33:51and has a passionate desire
33:55to be the Sonny Barger of the East Coast.
34:01I ended up having a confidential source
34:04who was a former member of the Hells Angels.
34:07He said, listen, Conan, he's a criminal mastermind
34:10and you need to be very careful when dealing with Conan.
34:13I was shocked by that because a former Hells Angels member
34:16gave that kind of credit to a rival.
34:21He definitely took the name Conan from the movies.
34:24He's a tall guy, he's very well built,
34:27he dominated the biker world, dominated the pagans,
34:30and nobody wants to directly challenge him.
34:33Conan's a good brother, he's a righteous brother.
34:36One time we were sleeping in his house
34:39and there's probably like eight people sleeping on couches,
34:41on the carpet, on this and that, and he goes to me,
34:43he goes, brother, come over here.
34:45You lay right here on this f***ing bear rug.
34:47You use that bear head as a f***ing pillow.
34:49And I was like, all right.
34:53I call him con man.
34:55He barbarically conned everybody into thinking
34:57that he was f***ing a righteous pagan,
34:59and he was in fact not.
35:01Something ain't right with that man.
35:03Most of the members of the Mother Club
35:05have aspirations to be the top pagan,
35:08and how you get there is just like any other organization,
35:11it's politics.
35:13Part of Conan Richter's plan to take power in the pagans
35:17was to undermine his predecessor.
35:20Went by the nickname Tyrone the Terrible,
35:23and Conan hired some private investigators
35:27to find dirt on him.
35:29And told him he had to step down,
35:31and if he wasn't going to step down,
35:33they were going to kill him.
35:35You come in with some paperwork and you say,
35:37I hired a private investigator,
35:39I found out about this motherf***er.
35:41That should have been a red flag right there.
35:43Private investigators are typically ex-cops.
35:45Whether he fabricated it or not,
35:47he had enough guys with him that believed in him,
35:50then he becomes president.
35:52Who are we?
35:55The Blue Wave was supposed to be this giant wave of pagans
35:59washing from one end of the country
36:01to the other end of the country.
36:03So under Conan's regime as president,
36:06they started patching in lots of clubs,
36:09lots of members.
36:12Primarily, what the biggest piece of the conflict
36:16between the Hells Angels and the pagans,
36:18is drugs, it's money, but it's really territory.
36:22Anytime the Hells Angels and the pagans
36:25or any one of these rival gangs meet up with each other,
36:28there's a propensity for violence.
36:31There was an incident at a gas station
36:33not too far from the Hells Angels' clubhouse.
36:36Newark Hells Angels' clubhouse.
36:39The creme de la creme, right?
36:42It's a clubhouse.
36:45It's a clubhouse.
36:48It's a creme de la creme, right?
36:51So this is their home.
36:53Well, you got the gas station up the street
36:55where that incident happened.
36:58The pagans were looking for the Hells Angels,
37:01and then they found the victim at a gas station.
37:05The individual, to the best of our knowledge,
37:07was not a member of the Hells Angels,
37:09but he was at the club and had been seen there.
37:12An individual gets out with a small baseball bat
37:15and whales on him.
37:23And then he's joined by four or five other pagans.
37:27Law enforcement identified a guy by the name of Hellboy
37:30as the one who committed the crime.
37:33Hellboy was an MMA fighter.
37:35He had a reputation of being one of the toughest pagans
37:37on the streets.
37:40He wasn't the kind of guy that anyone wanted to tangle with.
37:43He was involved in a lot of illicit crimes,
37:45crystal meth, drugs.
37:47He was a dangerous guy.
37:49He broke the guy's clavicle.
37:51Several bones were broken.
37:53If it wasn't for his helmet, he probably would have been dead.
37:58What happened with Hellboy, he got f***ing charged.
38:01Hellboy got charged for beating that man on f***ing camera.
38:06It was pretty cut and dry.
38:08I mean, it was live on TV.
38:10Live direct.
38:12The funny thing about it is that, you know,
38:14it happens in a gas station where the Hells Angels
38:17have a reputation for jumping and beating up people
38:19on motorcycles.
38:21And then when one of their own falls victim to it,
38:23they suddenly have him testifying
38:25and putting people like me in prison.
38:29Conan's blue wave expansion was a direct assault
38:32to the power of the Hells Angels.
38:35The Hells Angels are a constant threat to them.
38:38If they can get bigger, get stronger, get more members,
38:41they can stand up to the Hells Angels even more than they do.
38:45And it's spreading that blue color of the pagans
38:49as far as they can spread it.
38:54They went from a club that was predominantly
38:56just an East Coast club with members down from Florida,
38:58up through New York, et cetera,
39:01to now a club that has members as far as,
39:03at least to hear them, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
39:06That brings trouble and has brought trouble
39:08across the country.
39:12According to my sources,
39:15seminal meeting of biker chiefs and the outlaws,
39:18the Hells Angels and the Bandidos,
39:20convened to discuss creating an alliance
39:23to combat the pagans and their blue wave expansion.
39:29But as Conan's blue wave mandate
39:31spreads into Hells Angels, Bandidos, and outlaws' territory,
39:35he's also changing pagan laws.
39:38One that raises eyebrows,
39:40retired cops are now allowed to become full-patched pagans.
39:47The red flag was that the bylaws now allowed
39:50for anybody, corrections or ex-police,
39:54to join the club.
39:57Yeah, he changed that, which to me was a red flag.
40:02You know this is an outlaw club, right?
40:04What do you mean you're bringing a law into the outlaw club?
40:08He was picked up on a gun charge
40:10following a pagan event in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
40:13where he was found to have a loaded
40:15semi-automatic handgun in his vehicle.
40:20I wasn't part of the investigation,
40:22so I don't know the evidence that they had
40:25or how it actually played out.
40:27I will say this, sooner or later,
40:30even the hardest core gang member, biker,
40:34sooner or later, everybody talks.
40:41Why would the feds waste three years,
40:43taxpayer money, unlimited surveillance
40:45and all this other crap,
40:47just to give him 33 months on a gun charge
40:49that they called him interstate trafficking
40:51of a firearm with commerce, right?
40:54Career crook, convicted felon, leader of a gang.
40:58Well, he should have been looking
41:00at least 120 months off bat.
41:02From the dick.
41:0433 months? That's astronomical.
41:06Little Wayne did a year in Rikers Island
41:08for getting caught with a gun.
41:10He's a entertainer. He's not even a threat.
41:12So how the hell is Conan?
41:14Career crook, get 33 months.
41:16Explain that one to me.
41:33In the 1990s, Conan ended up being convicted
41:36on several racketeering charges.
41:39The FBI was involved, and he got busted.
41:42They got a bunch of info from Conan's wiretaps.
41:45Red flag.
41:47How do the feds know so much?
41:50You're a national president of a club, my guy.
41:52Why are you talking so freely on the phone?
41:54You know better.
41:56Is it because it's comfortable for you?
41:58That's your way of giving somebody up
42:00It's called dry snitching.
42:16Everyone's wondering what's going to happen
42:18when Conan gets out.
42:20There's some people that think that when he's released
42:22that he will go back to assuming his role
42:24as national president.
42:26One thing about
42:28Keith Conan Richter that's very clear
42:30is that he is a pagan through and through,
42:32and that upon his release,
42:34he's more than likely going to be back involved with the club.
42:39I don't see them allowing him to take the reins again
42:41because greed is a mother******.
42:43Hey, man, hopefully he lives a f****** dandy old life somewhere,
42:46retires out on the beach,
42:48maybe chills with a couple Hells Angels,
42:50and he dies out there, croaks out COVID or something.
42:52Who knows? Hopefully.
42:54He's not the last of the Mohegans.
42:56He's not a fraud.
42:58He's a con man.
43:00That's it.
43:04Conan is set to be released in 2025,
43:07and it's something that the Pagan Motorcycle Gang
43:09and its members are really excited about.
43:12And they think that his release will be seismic.
43:20Gregory Woolley was a go-to guy to get dirty work done.
43:24He came close to Maurice Mamboucher,
43:26and this is perplexing in the sense that
43:29Mamboucher was a pretty rabid Nazi sympathizer,
43:33racist, white nationalist.
43:36So here you have this guy who's got his feet in both camps,
43:39the Mafia and the Hells Angels.
43:45Greg Woolley was on a collision course
43:47with one of the most powerful,
43:49up-and-coming Hells Angel leaders in the world,
43:52Marty Robert.
