--------
Chuck Zito, former Vice President of the Hells Angels' New York chapter, shared experiences from his eventful life. Becoming a prominent figure in the biker world in the mid-'80s, Zito found himself under FBI scrutiny by 1984. Although they aggressively pursued him on allegations of distribution, Zito clarified that he was charged solely for making a phone call. Rejecting offers to inform on his associates, he received a ten-year prison sentence but served six years.
Zito also recounted a trip with fellow gang members to Japan in 1985, aimed at exploring potential Hells Angels expansion. The journey culminated in his arrest following a nationwide crackdown on the gang. Zito's account of his time in a Japanese prison painted a grim picture, highlighting harsh conditions and strict regimens. Eventually extradited to the U.S., Zito contrasted Japanese incarceration with the more relaxed American prison standards, reflecting on his tumultuous yet resilient past.
