No, but there potentially could be clubs that are owned/controlled by such a gang.

I would also bet that the most likely explanation of OP’s scenario is that either Z, J, or both are experiencing paranoid delusions.

Tell them there’s a motorcycle alt right “nothing to protest” protest going on in Ottawa where they can make fools of themselves for the “no cause”. Maybe they’ll go there and leave you alone.

So his previous girlfriend was also being "passed around’ by the gang? No wonder he cheated. I don’t think she has moral standing here, clearly an open relationship.

Yeah, it’s a fucked-up situation. J and I are hoping that it will just blow over.

How do you cheat on someone who has multiple sex partners? To me cheating means there’s an expectation of fidelity, which one person breaks. If you’re openly sleeping with many people there’s no fidelity to break.

I’ll do you the board courtesy of assuming you’re not making this up, but someone is BSing you or at least not telling you the whole story. You say this guy is making a lot of money, I assume honestly. How is he making his income? The angels are scary people, but I’m having a hard time seeing them go after someone because an angry woman told them this random person is competing with them. The Angels are an organized gang. They aren’t going to be threatened by one dude selling drugs on a retail level.

There are Hells Angels chapters all around the world. Every continent (except Antarctica) has at least one chapter, and often many. See the map:

He should buy some guns from the Niners and then sell them to the Mayans. Do this a few more times till he is an integral piece to the gun funneling between the two groups. Then let them both know the HA are hot on his tail and he can sit back for some very satisfying revenge.

Since it’s the Ontario PROVINCIAL Police, I think it’s pretty obvious. But yes, that’s the Canadian Ontario.

Credential: lived there, recognize the logo. Plus, again, “Provincial”.

I have no experience with anything like this, one way or the other, so take the value of my input as you will.

To me, it seems like either he’s innocent or he’s guilty.

If he’s guilty then, really, the only thing you can do is distance yourself from the guy and tell him to move somewhere else.

If he’s truly, genuinely innocent, though, then correcting the misunderstanding seems like the safest course of action. Tell him to try and get into contact with the boss and, similar to what @Czarcasm suggested, try to figure out what he can do to prove his innocence. If the girl says he was in a certain place at a certain time, show alibis for those times. If she says that he’s making money on the side, figure out a way to arrange an audit. If the gang has members in the police, tell them to file a criminal report against him and they can even have the tax payers foot the bill of checking his story, and their guys will be able to keep track on it - maybe they are even the ones assigned to the case.

Just be polite and reasonable, let them satisfy themselves, and then everyone can go their own way. Beating up a dude or killing him risks police interest and possible consequences for the perpetrators. Overall, if there’s really no reason for them to risk that and you can prove that to them then that’s just to everyone’s best interests.

Which linked page are you talking about? The OP, so far as I can tell, has not provided any links.

ETA: Ah, I see you’re talking about the OPP in post 2. But we haven’t heard from the OP whether that is the correct Ontario or not.

Drug running is a very hazardous profession with many participants ending up in jail, dead, or eventually both. You don’t get people like that “off your back” unless you drop out of the profession and move somewhere no one knows you.
