One Percenter Clubs have always had relationships with OC Families. Most of the time,they are hired to collect debts (usually gambling or drugs)that can't be legally pursued.
They also will beat or kill individuals at the behest of the Mob,
move stolen motorcycles,and so forth.
This is not the same as working for the Mob. The relationship,if any,is usually on an as needed basis,and neither side is in any way obligated to the other.
Depending on the OC presence in a given area,the same Club will have some chapters that work with the Mob,and some that don't.
In Pittsburgh and Philadelphia,the Pag*ns have been involved with OC off and on for decades. Some people here (western PA)joke about the disproportionate number of Italians in the Pag*ns,saying that there are more Italians in the Pag*ns than there are in Rome. Maybe this has something to do with their OC connections.
Taking a look at Pagans arrests, the ones from the Philadelphia area indeed almost all have an Italian surname. When you look at the arrests from the South Jersey-West Virginia area have more "hillbilly" (by lack of a better term
) sounding names. But yeah, in Philly or New Jersey city areas they seem to be extremely influenced by Italians
