Whats an informant5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() The US court document - an affidavit from an FBI special agent first published by Vice News - says the "confidential human source", a former drug trafficker, had been creating a new hardened encrypted phone with a bespoke app called ANOM. The difference is now they’re wearing the Texas bottom rocker, and-I wasn’t there to see what happened, but I’m guessing it was a confrontation, and they both went there in big numbers assuming there would be a confrontation.More arrests and seizures are expected, it said. It’s probably an event they always showed up to together-they probably weren’t great friends or anything like that, but because the Cossacks weren’t wearing the Texas bottom rocker, the Bandidos left them alone. So what happens is that, now that the Cossacks are claiming that territory too and they’re wearing the Texas bottom rocker. Neyfakh: So why would these guys all have been hanging out together at one restaurant, if they hate each other?įalco: You have a biker event-any time there’s a biker event in an area, the motorcycle gang that believes they control that area will show up and police it and make sure other motorcycle gangs aren’t there. Neyfakh: Do you know when the Cossacks started wearing the bottom rocker? And the Cossacks have grown in number incredibly, and the power they think they have, and the soldiers they think they have and said, “It’s time to step up.” And when you get your numbers up, then we can go ahead and challenge the Bandidos to their area by throwing on that Texas bottom rocker. So they were starting to go that way-it’s like a slow transition. The Cossacks have been growing in numbers and recruiting more of that hardcore biker personality in their club. ![]() The Bandidos have always OK’d the Cossacks’ right to exist as long as they didn’t wear the Texas bottom rocker. What does that mean?įalco: So, you and me could go to Texas, we could go to Bandidos and say, “Hey, we’re going to start our own motorcycle club.” And we’d ask them for permission and say, “We just want to ride around together and be a motorcycle club and that’s where we’ll keep it.” And usually the Bandidos would go, “Well, OK.” But then you’ve got to wear a Bandidos support patch. ![]() Neyfakh: So the Cossacks were not really a gang for a while, but then they became one. So they decided that they were going to wear the Texas bottom rocker-which is telling the Bandidos that they believe that this is their territory, and they’re willing to die for that claim. The Cossacks always stayed out of being a motorcycle gang, but they’ve been growing in numbers, and becoming more and more hardcore. And what happened here was, the Cossacks have been around since 1969, the Bandidos since 1966. They’ll allow some smaller motorcycle gangs to exist as long as they don’t wear that Texas bottom rocker. And they don’t allow any other motorcycle gang to be in that state and wear a Texas bottom rocker. So the Bandidos have state claim to Texas. And at the top, above the backpatch, is the name of the gang-and at the bottom is the state you’re claiming territory to. And on the back it shows their trademark, which is their symbol. Falco: So, I’ll try to explain this in laymen’s terms: When you watch Sons of Anarchy, they have those vests they wear that have what we call their colors. ![]()
