Ex-Hells Angels leader George Christie sits down with Ian Bick for an explosive, no-holds-barred interview. Christie reveals what it was really like to run the Ventura, California chapter of the Hells Angels for over 30 years — the violence, the brotherhood, the FBI investigations, and the moment he decided to walk away from the outlaw life for good. In this powerful conversation, George shares what life was like as a Hells Angels leader, the truth about outlaw biker culture, what it was like serving time in federal prison, why he left the club after three decades, and the lessons he learned about loyalty, betrayal, and redemption.
