Former Hells Angels President Reveals ATF Agent Prospected Their Chapter During Bloody War
Shawn Ryan Show
#303 Mel Chancey - Youngest President in Hells Angels History
What was said
"Chris Bayless was prospecting for the Rockford Hells Angels. He knew Chris was the agent and brought him around and vouched for him. Grubb sat in the meetings. Anytime that Mel and the crew are coming here, Chris would know and Chris would leave. We were up kind of against more fronts we didn't even know about."
Mel Chancey revealed that undercover ATF agent Chris Bayless, who would later build the RICO case against him, infiltrated the Hells Angels through a full member named Grubb who knowingly vouched for the federal agent. Bayless attended meetings and fed intelligence that stopped multiple planned attacks, including highway interdictions that turned crews around before strikes. The infiltration lasted years during the height of the Angels-Outlaws war in the 1990s.
