<p>The government’s crackdown on the Pagans Outlaw Motorcycle Club continued on Monday with the arrest of two of its high-ranking members for assault in aid of racketeering. “Today’s arrests are the latest in a long-running investigation into the illegal activities of the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club,” Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael Honig said. “We have now charged 11 members of this outlaw gang with various weapons, drug trafficking and violent crimes.”</p>
<p>The two bikers who were arrested on Monday are 43-year-old Luis “LuRoc” Arocho (photo right) and 51-year-old Maurice “Dawg” <a href="http://www.gangstersinc.org" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9237164266,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9237164266?profile=original" /></a>Guzman. Arocho holds the position of Mother Club Member in the New Jersey Pagans while Guzman is a President of Presidents in the New Jersey <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Pagans" target="_blank">Pagans</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Beating with an axe handle</strong></span></p>
<p>On April 24, 2018, Arocho, Guzman, and other Pagans assaulted an associate of the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Angels" target="_blank">Hells Angels</a> at a gas station in Newark (photo below). The Pagans and the Hells Angels have a long-standing rivalry. The biker was beaten with an axe handle, punched, and kicked by his attackers, resulting in significant injuries.</p>
<p>Acting U.S. Attorney Honig also announced that a federal grand jury returned an indictment Monday charging 56-year-old Nicholas “Booch” Bucciarelli, the sergeant at arms for the Pagans’ Camden County chapter, with distributing five grams or more of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Meth" target="_blank">methamphetamine</a>, and aggravated assault in aid of racketeering, brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon, arising from his commission of a <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Gangs" target="_blank">gang</a>-related gunpoint assault in which an associate of the Pagans was assaulted for breaking the organization’s rules.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gangstersinc.org" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9237164088,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9237164088?profile=original" /></a>75-year-old Nicholas “Lefty” Marino, 55-year-old Anthony “Fugit” D’Alessandro, and 42-year-old Michael “Cage” Dorazo had already been charged for their roles in the assault. At the time of their arrests Marino and D’Alessandro served as the president and sergeant at arms, respectively, for the Pagans’ Gloucester County chapter, and Dorazo was a member of the Pagans.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;">Multi-agency investigation</span></strong></p>
<p>These charges were filed as part of a multi-agency investigation into the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club, an <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/bikers-amp-outlaw-motorcycle" target="_blank">outlaw motorcycle gang</a> known to engage in illegal activity, including narcotics trafficking, weapons trafficking, and violent crimes.</p>

<p>The Pagans have established membership chapters in numerous states and U.S. territories, including multiple active chapters in New Jersey. This investigation involved court-authorized wiretaps, the use of multiple undercover law enforcement agents, and execution of multiple search warrants at physical locations in multiple jurisdictions. Through the investigation, law enforcement seized 10 firearms and more than 800 grams of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Drugs" target="_blank">methamphetamine</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>National president and other arrests</strong></span></p>
<p>The U.S. Attorney’s Office previously announced the arrest of Keith “Conan” Richter, the national president of the Pagans, in connection with his illegal possession of a firearm on February 20, 2021. Those charges remain pending.</p>
<p>Law enforcement officials also previously arrested the following individuals in connection with the investigation:</p>
<p>Larry Ortiz, aka “Savage,” 31, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Junius Aquino, aka “Jayo,” 38, of Vauxhall, New Jersey, were charged with aggravated assault in aid of racketeering and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence for their roles in a gang-related shooting. On Oct. 28, 2020, Ortiz and Aquino shot at an associate of a rival gang while driving on the New Jersey Turnpike. The shooting was committed as part of an ongoing dispute between the Pagans and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.</p>
<p>Aquino was also charged in a separate criminal complaint with possession of ammunition by a convicted felon in connection with a shooting that occurred three days later. On Oct. 31, 2020, Aquino shot at an occupied vehicle in Elizabeth. Law enforcement officers recovered seven .40 caliber shell casings from the shooting scene. On Nov. 5, 2020, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Aquino’s residence and recovered, among other items, multiple .40 caliber rounds of ammunition and approximately 50 grams of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Cocaine" target="_blank">cocaine</a>. After law enforcement officers recovered the cocaine from Aquino’s residence, Aquino was charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine. At the time of Aquino’s arrest, he was the vice president of the Pagans’ Elizabeth membership chapter.</p>

</ul>
<p>Ortiz was also charged with possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. On Nov. 17, 2020, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Ortiz’s residence and recovered approximately 300 grams of methamphetamine and a loaded firearm. At the time of his arrest, Ortiz was the president of the Pagans’ Jersey City membership chapter.</p>
<p>Daniel Hooban, aka “Jersey,” 33, of Bayonne, New Jersey, was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; possession with intent to distribute a quantity of cocaine; and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. On June 29, 2020, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Hooban’s residence and recovered approximately 30 grams of cocaine and a loaded firearm. At the time of Hooban’s arrest, he was the sergeant at arms for the Pagans’ Jersey City membership chapter.</p>

</ul>
<p>Glen Turner, aka “Glenny,” 73, of Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, was charged with possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. Turner is a long-time member of the Pagans. On Dec. 10, 2020, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Turner’s residence and recovered approximately 450 grams of methamphetamine.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>“Significant blow to the Pagans motorcycle gang”</strong></span></p>
<p>“This investigation has dealt a significant blow to the Pagans motorcycle gang,” Special Agent in Charge of the DEA’s New Jersey Division Susan A. Gibson said. “The use of violence, weapons, and intimidation was standard for this criminal organization, and law enforcement made it clear that their behavior would not be tolerated. It is a bad day for the Pagans when the combined forces of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=DEA" target="_blank">DEA</a>, <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=ATF" target="_blank">ATF</a>, New Jersey State Police and Union County detectives come after you. These arrests made New Jersey safer and this investigation demonstrated the determination of DEA and our amazing partners to pursue the most violent criminal gangs who choose to violate the law.”</p>
<p>“I can say without question that our collective efforts have disrupted and dismantled the daily illegal activities of the Pagans outlaw motorcycle gang, by strategically removing their most violent and most egregious firearm and drug trafficking members and associates,” ATF Newark Field Division Acting Special Agent in Charge Toby C. Taylor said.</p>

<p>Drug traffickers and gangsters all over the globe were shocked to find their encrypted text messages in the hands of law enforcement agencies in Europe and the United States. Large service providers called EncroChat and Sky ECC were hacked by authorities and revealed a treasure trove of messages where criminals talked openly about drug shipments and gangland killings. How can gangsters communicate without the government listening in or finding out? Gangsters Inc. did some spying around.</p>
<p><a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/europe-overview" target="_blank">Europe’s narco kingpins</a> were sweating and ducking for cover last week when it became <a href="https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/new-major-interventions-to-block-encrypted-communications-of-criminal-networks" target="_blank">known</a> that police in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands had hacked into the servers of Sky ECC, a company that provided an encrypted communication network for its 170,000 customers worldwide. The tool, which has its own infrastructure and applications and is operated from the United States and Canada, uses computer servers based in Europe. On a global scale, around three million messages are being exchanged each day via Sky ECC. Over 20 percent of the users are based in Belgium and the Netherlands. These services are in high demand in the underworld and investigators were not surprised to find hundreds of millions of text messages on these servers which they could directly link to narcotics trafficking and violence.</p>
<p>So far Belgian police <a href="https://www.dw.com/en/belgium-police-swoop-in-on-organized-crime-in-drugs-sting/a-56812408" target="_blank">arrested dozens of individuals</a>, including a <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/bikers-amp-outlaw-motorcycle" target="_blank">Hells Angel</a>, a member of the Aquino family (which is alleged to have ties to the ‘<a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/ndrangheta-overview" target="_blank">Ndrangheta</a>), a famous professional <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Kickboxing" target="_blank">kickboxer</a>, and various prominent narcotics traffickers. They searched around 200 premises. Police in the Netherlands also made several arrests. Both countries say more will be announced as the investigation continues.</p>
<p>The fallout from this hack is similar to the crackdown that followed hacks like that of Ennetcom (in 2016), PGPSafe (in 2017), and EncroChat (in 2020). These resulted in global seizures of multiple tons of drugs, ranging from <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Cocaine" target="_blank">cocaine</a> and <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Meth" target="_blank">meth</a> to <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Marijuana" target="_blank">marijuana</a>, and the arrest of some of the world’s biggest drug kingpins.</p>

</ul>
<p>The use of these encryption services became popular with many European gangsters and crime bosses, who viewed it as a fast and secretive way of communicating with underlings and associates alike, no matter in what country they resided, without authorities being able to read along over their shoulders.</p>
<p>Things worked great for several years and authorities had serious issues finding out who were behind some of the most heinous <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Murder" target="_blank">murders</a> and biggest <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Drugs" target="_blank">drug</a> shipments. Thinking they were safe and that investigators had no way of monitoring their messages, gangsters began talking much more openly about crimes – even about wanting certain prosecutors and lawyers murdered.</p>
<p>It was bound to blow up in their faces. Authorities stepped up their game and slowly but surely began making process. Once a server was seized and hacked by authorities, things quickly went very bad for the texting gangsters.</p>
<p>Could it have been prevented? What could they have done differently? Gangsters have been trying to evade the eyes and ears of the law since they began committing crimes. The encrypted text messages are just the latest in a long list of attempts. What do these attempts have in common and why do they fail or work?</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Walk talks and carpool talks</strong></span></p>
<p>Members of the <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/organized-crime-in" target="_blank">American Mafia</a> are involved in so many intricate schemes and rackets that it is important for them to stay up to date. They would get together at <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/another-mob-social-club-bites" target="_blank">mob social clubs</a> to discuss business, but quickly realized law enforcement was prone to bug their premises. The <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=FBI" target="_blank">FBI</a> would place bugs in a lot of social clubs and homes of La Cosa Nostra members, including the mansion of <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/gambino-crime-family-overview" target="_blank">Gambino family</a> boss Paul Castellano, the social clubs of Gambino boss <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Gotti" target="_blank">John Gotti</a> and <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-genovese-crime-family" target="_blank">Genovese family</a> boss Anthony Salerno, and many more. As a result, many of these social clubs would have signs inside reminding patrons that the walls have ears.</p>

</ul>
<p>To combat this surveillance, the parties involved go outside, preferably a busy street, and go for a walk. Meanwhile they discuss the issue at hand. It is called a “walk talk”. As an extra precaution they might place their hands in front of their mouths so police or FBI agents can’t read their lips. This tactic was made famous in the movie <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-truth-behind-movie-classic-casino" target="_blank">Casino</a>, see below.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kz0n__Np3Ck?wmode=opaque" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>
<p>Another attempt to evade the law is by discussing business in the car, on the move and far away from federal agents it was deemed safer than discussing business at the office. <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-lucchese-crime-family" target="_blank">Lucchese Mafia family</a> boss <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Corallo" target="_blank">Anthony “Tony Ducks” Corallo</a> would have long talks with his chauffeur, <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Avellino" target="_blank">Salvatore Avellino</a>, as he was driven in Avellino’s Jaguar from mob meeting to mob meeting. Unbeknownst to both men, the feds had placed a bug in the car and were listening in and recording every conversation. The tapes cost “Tony Ducks” and other Mafia bosses dearly as it helped prove a conspiracy that earned them all a life sentence in what was known as The Commission Case, aimed at the hierarchy of the New York mob.</p>

</ul>
<p>Lesson learned. So some mobsters began switching cars after one ride. This made surveillance a lot harder. Others, like <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-bonanno-crime-family" target="_blank">Bonanno family</a> soldier <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/they-don-t-have-the-balls-to-kill-me-profile-of-bonanno-mafia-fam" target="_blank">“Tommy Karate” Pitera</a>, simply turned up the radio in the car and whispered in the ear of the person they were talking to. This made eavesdropping or bugging almost impossible.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>“Quack Quack” on the phone</strong></span></p>
<p>Face to face meetings continued to be the best way to avoid the law’s eyes and ears, but gangsters are always on the move and there’s only so much time in the day. So phones were a favored tool to communicate or set up meetings to talk more openly.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gangstersinc.org" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9237158081,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9237158081?profile=original" /></a>If they were smart, they didn’t use their home phones. If they fucked up, they paid dearly. Like <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/gambino-crime-family-overview" target="_blank">Gambino family</a> soldier Angelo “Quack Quack” Ruggiero (right). As his nickname suggests, Ruggiero liked to run his mouth. He told whoever wanted to hear that he only talked business on his daughter’s phone, which had a separate landline and was listed in her name. He figured it was enough to throw the FBI off his trail. Which might’ve been correct, if he hadn’t shared this piece of intel with men who were secretly working for the feds. The FBI began tapping Ruggiero’s daughter’s phone and picked up enough information on <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Heroin" target="_blank">heroin</a> trafficking to take down a bunch of powerful figures in the Gambino family.</p>
<p>Again, talking about criminal activities on your home phone is not a smart move. Preferably, mobsters used pay phones. As even Ruggiero himself did on frequent occasions. Mobsters walked around with pocket change and made calls throughout the day. As an extra safety measure the smartest guys in the crew would never use the same pay phone twice and also use pay phones in other areas than where they worked or lived. This made it much more difficult for law enforcement to tap their conversations.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>“Pizzini”</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gangstersinc.org" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9236982066,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9236982066?profile=original" /></a>But it was best to avoid phones entirely, most mobsters agreed. In <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=Sicily" target="_blank">Sicily</a>, Mafia bosses use small pieces of paper to communicate with underlings. These “pizzini” contain hand-written instructions and messages. Cosa Nostra boss <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/cosa-nostra-boss-of-bosses-bernardo-provenzano-dead-at-83" target="_blank">Bernardo Provenzano</a> (right) was a master at using this method of communication. His notes were steeped in religion and contained bible verses. Beneath it all, however, were subtle hints and messages for his underlings and other Mafia bosses.</p>
<p>Provenzano also used the Caesar cipher to encrypt his “pizzini”. Once used by Rome emperor Julius Caesar, this code involves shifting each letter of the alphabet forward three places. As far as encryption goes it is not the most secure method and for experienced code crackers it is one easy to discover and decode.</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p>His evasion skills and methods to avoid law enforcement scrutiny served Provenzano well. In 1963, he became a fugitive and as the decades progressed he remained an invisible force. After authorities arrested <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/sicilian-mafia-boss-toto-riina-dead-at-87" target="_blank">Salvatore Riina</a> in 1993, Provenzano became the new boss of bosses and the most wanted man in Italy. Still, he continued to evade capture until 2006 after spending a stunning 43 years on the run.</p>
<p>Though his position in <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/sicilian-cosa-nostra-overview" target="_blank">Cosa Nostra</a> and his many <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/pax-mafiosa-guilty-verdicts-as-prosecutors-prove-secret-pact-betw" target="_blank">powerful connections</a> no doubt helped him evade capture, his skills and discipline helped him during his decades as a fugitive. While he was in prison he continued using his “pizzini” to communicate and was placed under special surveillance as a result.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>“Kites”</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gangstersinc.org" target="_blank"><img class="align-right" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9237158663,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9237158663?profile=original" width="220" height="235" /></a>The crafty Sicilian Mafia boss wasn’t the only one who used small notes to communicate behind bars. Shot callers from various Hispanic, black, and white American prison <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/street-gangs" target="_blank">gangs</a> have become masters at this type of communication. Instead of “pizzini”, they call these notes “kites”. A “kite” is a piece of paper tied to a long piece of string, which is swung to a cell nearby and may contain a variety of instructions.</p>
<p>These instructions are hidden inside the regular text and only decipherable if you know the code used. Sometimes the inmates hide the text by using invisible ink, which they make from urine or citrus juice. The words will remain invisible until exposed to direct heat. This tactic is also used to communicate with inmates in other prisons. The <a href="http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/prison-gangs-the-aryan-brotherhood" target="_blank">Aryan Brotherhood</a> used it to launch a nationwide attack on a rival prison gang in the 1990s until authorities caught on.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>All about discipline</strong></span></p>
<p>As long as there is surveillance there will be individuals who will find ways to evade it. For gangsters, especially, it is of the utmost importance to remain in the shadows and communicate in secret. They will continue to try to do so with various degrees of success – and fail once investigators crack the code.</p>

</ul>
<p>What is clear, however, is that regardless of the methods or the advanced digital skills, the most important aspects of evasion are intelligence and discipline. First, a gangster has to know how his enemies are trying to take him down (phone tap). Then he has to take measures to ensure this does not happen (by using pay phones, walk talks etc.). And he has to continue this lifestyle until he retires or he will get caught slipping, like Gambino mobster “Quack Quack” Ruggiero, and end up in a cell.</p>
<p>The best encryption in the world is meaningless if it is cracked. That is why it is only one part of the evasion puzzle. The security measures are endless and always evolving. The game never stops.</p>
