And who is running the Washington COC, pray tell?
Is it one of those Christian or Vet MCs? Or does it happen to be, by some strange coincidence, the largest outlaw gang in the state?
The fact that some non-criminals might be members doesn’t disprove that it is a criminal front group. In fact, it is highly desirable to have non-criminals in your front group. That’s kind of the whole point of having a front group, to make it look like a legitimate organization while still furthering your criminal operations.
Good question...the Washington CoC website isn't that easy to navigate but it looks like there are at least four or five Bandido support clubs that are part of it.
A list of WCoC officers and their club affiliation would tell the story.
The author of the article is a member of the Outsiders MC which is not Bandido affiliated as far as I can tell.
