I read the Bongiovanni case in Buffalo and for sure there are other cases.


I doubt outlaw bike clubs in the US are bribing feds. This ain't Canada.

A lot of feds made good careers off biker clubs in the last 25 years including starting private businesses to be police training schools about bikers, where the feds as individuals pocket all our tax dollars for these courses/seminars.

Why would they take some piddly bribe, it's not gonna compare to their salaries, benefits and pensions. Even in the crazy 60's and 70's I can only think of a couple random one offs, where bikers tried to kill a judge, and I'm not sure if they were even federal.
