There are 1%ers that are across all walks of life and economic levels. Especially in the major clubs. A lot of them you would never expect to be in an outlaw club.
Have one good friend that is in one of the Big 5. Owns a few very successful businesses. Had some before he became an outlaw MC member. Has a beautiful family. Lives in an extremely nice house and vacation home.
Knew another HA a few years back that was a Wall Streeter.
Granted there are plenty of criminals in these groups, but there are also ones that aren't.

Absolutely. There are guys in the big clubs who wear three piece Brooks Brothers suits to the office every day. No visible tats (when they are wearing the suit), clean cut, highly educated, very articulate, well read, and so forth.
From what I'm told, these are the real "movers and shakers", the "brains of the operation". While some are undoubtedly "clean", many are only there for the lucrative "business opportunities" available through membership.
This sort very cynically knows exactly who they have underneath them - a readily available, easily manipulated legion of "foot soldiers" who are climbing over one another to prove who is the baddest ass in their little world. In other words, they will do
anything for the club.
Anything. And they have absolutely no idea who is pulling the strings. It's all for the club...
