Andrew Sisson - Kiwi Hells Angels Nomads president - Guilty

Andrew Sisson and fellow Hells Angel Scott James Allan were found guilty in the Palmerston North District Court. Sisson’s wife Vikki was in court to hear the verdicts, as well as senior Hells Angels members who travelled to Manawatū for the occasion. Court bailiffs took advantage of the opportunity to get some visiting Hells Angels to cough up for unpaid fines, with the members paying in cash, or else. Sisson displayed photos of French bulldogs; “five of our little babies” he said. “I would sell each of them for an average of $4,500”. He took payment in cash. That didn't wash, and the jury believed Sisson was the primary meth wholesaler. 'Ses' could be looking at a long stretch. He was convicted in 1999 for conspiracy to supply meth and money laundering.

Hells Angels boss Andrew Sisson says firewood and French bulldogs explain the money cops say he made selling meth. The biker spent a day in the witness box telling a jury how he made cash and his lack of knowledge about the meth ring he supplied. A forensic accountant told the trial there were big gaps between the money Sisson spent and how much went into his accounts.

Sisson worked as a tattooist at the 'House of Pain'.

In 2010 Auckland NOW reported on unlawful debt collecting. Sisson was involved in the companies 'Rapid Recovery 2010 Ltd.' and 'Dirty Debtors Ltd.' He tried to steal a Toyota Hilux from an undercover cop in a sting operation. He marched around using a document headed "Warrant to Repossess" to rip folks off. The sting was part of a long-running operation against organized crime and led to criminal charges for three Hells Angels members and an associate. Sisson was also charged with possession of three rifles - a Ruger bolt action .243, a Ruger bolt action .308 and a .22 rifle.

FTX implodes - billions into the ether - update IV

Crypto firm BlockFi has filed for bankruptcy. The crypto company, which offers a trading exchange and interest-bearing custodial service for cryptocurrencies, was one of many firms to face serious liquidity issues after the implosion of FTX. The New Jersey-based company had already halted withdrawals and admitted that it had “significant exposure” to bankrupt FTX and Alameda Research.

Employees at FTX received loans from Alameda, including $543m to head of engineering Nishad Singh and $55m to head of FTX digital markets Ryan Salame.

The company tasked with locking down assets of FTX said they've secured US$740m. The 'digital assets' are locked in what is known as 'cold storage'. The trouble is upwards of $10b has evaporated. The Turkish government announced it seized the assets in its country belonging to FTX, and Sam Bankman-Fried and others will be charged with crimes including money laundering, market manipulation and fraud. FTX.TR had over 110k users and processed $600m per month. Alameda Research, the trading arm of Sam Bankman-Fried, loaned him and other companies under his control $3.3b. $2.3b went to also bankrupt Paper Bird Inc., which he owns a majority stake in. Among other things, Bankman-Fried acculmulated $300m in Bahamas real estate.

FTX was a cryptocurrency exchange, FTX.US, its U.S. affiliate. In June 2021, FTX raised $1b at an $18b valuation from investors like Paradigm, SoftBank and Sequoia Capital. Three months later, FTX brought in $421m, pushing its valuation to $25b, this time from Singapore-government owned investment firm Temasek, Tiger Global Management and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. The valuation was $32b. That number is now zero. FTT tokens Here

Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan invested a total of $95m between FTX and FTX U.S. in late 2021 and early 2022. US authorities are investigating Bankman-Fried as well as FTX. The bloom is surely off the crypto rose now. Bitcoin slumped as much as 8% to $16.6k, exactly one year from it's $69k top.  Here.

Sukhvir Singh Deo - Flashback

A Range Rover sped along Lakeshore Road in Oakville in 2013. Checks told cops the driver was Sukhvir Deo and alarm bells went off. CPIC confirmed the information and was accompanied with a request to deliver a “duty to warn”, this is a legal requirement for cops to warn an individual if there was a credible threat to their life. Halton police cops contacted B.C. to get more information about Deo — who had quietly relocated to a mansion in Oakville. Deo called himself a 'trucking executive' but was a well known transnational drug dealer. He was the author of his own fate after foolishly gaining attention at a Raptors game.

There have been no arrests in the June 7, 2016 murder of gangster Sukhvir Singh Deo. Two men wearing construction vests opened fire on Deo as he sat in his Range Rover. He died at the scene.

Deo was whacked weeks after a high profile appearance at a Raptors game.

Sukh Deo had been living in Ontario since 2013 in a palatial home in Oakville.

Sukhvir Singh Deo

Deo was a drug dealer and was scheduled to stand trial after being arrested in October 2013 for trafficking cocaine and possession of property obtained by crime. Investigators seized 3 luxury cars — a Bentley, a Rolls Royce and a Land Rover. He moved to Toronto from Vancouver shortly after the murder of Independent Soldier founder Randy Naicker. His father, Parminder Deo is wanted on an Interpol warrant on drug smuggling and a raft of other charges laid in India.

Randy Naicker was killed on June 25, 2012

Sukhvir Singh Deo was involved in the Wolf Pack gang alliance between the Independent Soldiers and the Hells Angels. He was shot to death near Yonge and Eglinton. He was very close to two original Wolf Pack members — HA Larry Amero and James Riach of the Independent Soldiers. Larry Amero and James Riach were targeted with Red Scorpion leader Jon Bacon in a 2011 hit in Kelowna. Bacon was killed, Amero and Riach survived. It was war between the Wolf Pack and the Dhak-Duhre group.
