Send us Fan Mail Send us a textWelcome back for the conclusion of my interview with Professor, bestselling Author, and Retired ATF Special Agent Jay Dobyns. If you're enjoying this episode, you'll love my interview with ATF Special Agent Ken Croke from episode 120, where he chats about his deep undercover mission taking down the outlaw motorcycle gang, The Pagans. I thought it would be interesting to get a different perspective on these clubs by interviewing the former president of the Ventura Hells Angels, George Christie. That interview will go live next Sunday!Jay Dobyns spent over two decades as a federal agent embedded in the dark heart of America’s violent crime, participating in more than five hundred undercover missions targeting gun runners, narcotics traffickers, explosives manufacturers, murder-for-hire schemes, and vicious gangs.Jay’s most infamous case—a landmark infiltration of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang—changed the face of undercover work forever, earning him international recognition.Jay’s story is more than headlines and danger. It’s about the cost of service to others, the toll on identity, family, and mental health, and how to rise from it stronger.  In today’s episode we discuss:·      Attempting to be a good dad and father, while you were undercover. How did you and your family deal with all of that?  ·      Sunny Barger, who he was and Jay’s relationship with him.·      What kind of bike the ATF gave Jay. Why only Harleys or maybe Indians?·      Mafia on two wheels?. ·      What is the filthy few?·      What happened at Laughlin?·      His informant, Pops, and Black Biscuit.·      Deep undercover, the effects on him and his family. ATF help? Debrief after the case?.·      How did you leave UC work??·      A surfing Hells Angel?·      How close he came to losing his own identity.·      His advice for someone who wants to do deep UC work.·      The book, No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels.
