Jamie "Goldberg" Flanz came from Montreal, where his father, Leonard, was a successful lawyer specializing in bankruptcy cases, and he had been raised in an upper-middle class household. Flanz ran a successful computer consulting business in Keswick, working part-time as a bouncer in a local bar, and he joined the Bandidos when he became lonely after his divorce. Flanz served as a sort of bank for his fellow Bandidos, as the well-off Flanz was always lending money to his fellow Bandidos. Flanz cruised Internet chat rooms looking for female companionship under the name BigDaddyRogue. He was fascinated with the outlaw biker lifestyle, as he believed that being a "bad ass" outlaw biker would make him attractive to women. Luis "Chopper" Raposo was a former Loner who at the age of 41 still lived with his parents in the Kensington Market area of Toronto. Raposo who always seemed to be giving anyone who took a photograph of him the finger, felt the club standards were collapsing under Muscedere's leadership, complaining it had taken him much time to become a full patch Loner in the 1990s and that Muscedere was letting in just anybody. As a hang-around and then as a prospect with the Loners in the 1990s, Raposo had been repeatedly called out by Fullager for not having matches and toothpicks on him at all times for the benefit of the full patch members, a test he now applied to the others, who usually failed it.
