Video summary

The recent arrest of Mike Stone Street, the Sergeant-at-Arms for the Hell's Angels 81 chapter in Wilmington, North Carolina, marks a significant escalation in internal disputes within the club. Stone Street faces nearly a dozen charges stemming from a series of violent offenses committed against a former prospect known online as "Nick." This conflict began after Nick left his prospect status and launched a vicious social media campaign taunting the club members. The situation deteriorated rapidly into physical altercations, including an assault, a robbery, and significant property damage involving the smashing of windows and vandalism of a residence and a motorcycle, allegedly carried out with heavy lumber. The roots of this feud appear to lie in cultural and disciplinary differences between Nick and the Wilmington chapter leadership. Founded in 2019 with support from East Coast chapters like those in New York and Connecticut, the Wilmington club was built on a core group that transitioned from a prior support club called the Desperados. Nick, who reportedly came from New York's New Rock City chapter to bring experience with the "1%" culture, eventually felt that the local leadership was too lax and lacked the discipline expected of major Hell's Angels factions. This friction led Nick to quit prospecting, claiming the club was not worthy of his services, which subsequently triggered a period of harassment where he felt stalked by associates of the chapter before the violence erupted in public view. This incident highlights a broader trend within organized crime groups, including street gangs and drug organizations, where social media platforms like TikTok are increasingly used to fuel feuds that result in real-world violence. The host notes that while power dynamics in the Hell's Angels Nation have shifted from the West Coast to East Coast hubs like New York and even further to Canada, local chapters still face challenges in managing internal conflicts without public fallout. The messy nature of this dispute, involving a civilian victim and family members, has damaged the reputation of the club and raised concerns about their ability to control their own members and keep internal business out of the public eye. As the legal proceedings move forward, Mike Stone Street faces an uphill battle against charges that include robbery, aggravated assault, vandalism, trespassing, and destruction of property. The host expresses hope that this arrest serves as a turning point that ends the violence and intimidation within the Wilmington chapter, noting that it is only the club's seventh year of existence. While the higher-ups in major chapters may be monitoring the situation through proxies, the immediate focus remains on resolving this specific conflict to prevent further escalation. The network promises to continue monitoring the case with federal law enforcement sources to provide updates as the legal fallout unfolds and hopes for a peaceful resolution that restores order to the local chapter.

Original Gangsters News with Scott Bernstein. >> Welcome to the Original Gangsters News Network and Podcast. I'm your host, Scott Bernstein. We're going to go out and discuss some Hell's Angels drama in North Carolina. Specifically, we're going to go out to the southeastern part of the state to Wilmington and discuss uh the 81 chapter in Wilmington, which is in its first decade of existence. And there seems to be quite a bit of drama erupting in Wilmington related to internal disputes in the Hell's Angels or disputes between the Hell's Angels in Wilmington and a former prospect. There was the arrest last week of Sergeant-at-Arms Mike Stone Street for a series of uh violent offenses that were perpetrated against this former prospect who's been taunting the Wilmington Hell's Angels in a pretty vicious online campaign uh on social media, Tik Tok, making big accusations. We'll get into some of uh what those accusations are and what the background uh of this situation is and the history of the Wilmington Hell's Angels. So, uh last week, I believe it was September 15th or 16th, uh Mike Stone Street was arrested. This was the uh culmination of I believe two different altercations with this former prospect who I'm I'm being tipped off by law enforcement in North Carolina and they wouldn't give me the full name of the prospect. Uh he goes by Nick on social media. I'm told that is his real first name, but we don't have a last name. But, uh, Nick was a prospect in the Hell's Angels up until a few months ago and then quit and then began attacking members of the club uh, via online social media posts. And then two separate uh altercations were um took place in the second to third week of September. There was an assault. There was a robbery. There was a destruction of property, trespassing. And right now, Mike Stone Street, the sergeant-at-arms, is facing like almost a dozen charges. Uh, and from a legal perspective, he's going to have an uphill battle uh getting past these. Um, so there was an iPhone that was stolen. Uh, there was a residence, a private residence that was attacked and uh uh windows were busted open and other property damage occurred. And then uh the former prospect's bike was attacked and vandalized and and uh a lot of this was a lot of this damage was done with like a 2x8, not a 2x4, a 2x8, like a big um piece of wood that you can do a lot of damage with if uh if you intend to. And according to these charges, that's what Mike Stone Street is accused of doing. So this all really kind of spiraled out of control pretty quickly. And I think it also is a snapshot and I think this is a is a broad brush stroke that you can kind of take across biker clubs, street gangs, drug organizations. I don't know so much about the Italian mafia, but definitely those other three group, you know, street gangs, drug gangs. biker clubs where social media can play a major role in you know assaults, attempted assaults, murders, not in this case. um conspiracies, you know, harassment conspiracies and uh other types of uh uh conspiracies and and violent that involving violence and racketeering. A lot of people put their business out on socials now. And even the criminals are quick to throw jabs uh in in cyerspace either not realizing or not caring that these kind of things can prompt real serious consequences on both on all sides of this. So, I'm going to go over a little bit of what I've been told um in regards to this feud that has developed between the former prospect Nick and the leadership of the Wilmington Hell's Angels. So, Wilmington, the 81 chapter in Wilmington was founded in 2019, not that long ago. Uh I'm told that New York and Connecticut Hell's Angels shot callers in both those states played a role in uh allowing Wilmington to open up a 81 chapter. I'm told that the uh the president of the Wilmington chapter is a guy named Earl Losi. And Earl and Mike Stone Street come from a a prior support club known as the Desperados. and the Desperadoo motorcycle club patched over to be Hell's Angels and that was the the uh the core of the new Hell's Angels and Wilmington came from the Desperados. Uh there's also, I'm told, some East Coasters that came in at least early on to help the club get up and running. Uh people from New York and and Connecticut. It's interesting to point out uh something that you know this particular scenario uh paints the picture that we've been talking about how uh here at OG about how the power in 81 Nation seemed like it was forever on the west coast of the United States and it has moved East [clears throat] and the most powerful Hell's Angels in the US right now are out of New York. Um, and the most powerful Hell's Angels faction in the world right now is out of uh, Canada. uh Montreal, Hamilton with Nurgot Stadnik, the national Canadian president going on pushing 40 years out of uh Ontario Hamilton and then his uh his mouthpiece on the street and around the globe, possibly the most influential biker boss on the planet right now daytoday, Marty Rober out of the Montreal chapter. Um, and we know that Marty and Nurgot have a lot of influence and uh oversight of the things that are going on in New York and Connecticut. So even though this particular story about the Hell's Angels in North Carolina does it, there isn't a direct line to be drawn between the Wilmington Hell's Angels drama and anything that's going on up in Canada. You can, you know, via proxies and intermediaries and and other uh, you know, connections, tangential connections or uh, you know, offshoot connections. You can make that you can make that uh, that link. So Earl Losi uh, opens up the Hell's Angel Wilmington chapter in 2019. Um, they start building They're getting help from the guys on the East Coast. Nick, the the prospect who was the victim of these assaults in the last couple weeks, um, at some point gets selected to prospect. And Nick, I'm told, came from New York, uh, and came from a chapter called New Rock City. And I don't know if he moved down specifically to eventually become a Hell's Angel or if he just happened to be down in North Carolina when the Hell's Angels were starting up there. Uh, I think he I'm told that he lives outside of Wilmington and that according to the my law enforcement sources, part of the intention of bringing him into the club originally was to get a guy that knew 1% culture, uh, who came from an area where the Hell's Angels are, you know, the the at the top of the heap and do things the quote unquote right way [clears throat] and then to get him in uh patch him in and then send him to other parts of North Carolina to to open up uh either you know 81 chapters or 81 support support clubs. So, I'm not exactly certain how long Nick was prospecting for, but by early 2026, things were headed south. And I think there was, based on what I'm told, there was friction between uh Nick and the leaders of the Wilmington chapter related to protocol, order of operation, just in general, the way business was done. And I I think based on what I'm told, there was some some belief that the uh the Hell's Angels in Wilmington were too laxidasical uh not, you know, disciplined enough to, you know, warrant or uh uh you know, get a lot the same kind of respect that the Hell's Angels from other states and other countries do. Um that they were, this is coming from people that I know in law enforcement that I've talked to Nick um in that there were police reports filed. So, kind of going through some of the police reports. I don't know if I don't want to make it seem like Nick is cooperating. I have no idea. I don't think that's the case, but I know that there were police reports filed. Um, and and from those police reports, there were people that were opining and you know, the belief was that Nick didn't believe he was or that the Hell's Angels were worthy were worthy of him. You know, it's usually the other way around when the club decides whether whether or not they're worthy or the club decides whether or not the prospect is worthy to be in the club. In this case, it was Nick, I'm told, the prospect who turned in his gear and decided to quit prospecting because he didn't feel that uh the Hell's Angels in Wilmington were worthy of of his services. Now, I don't know if that's true. I don't know if uh there's there's legitimacy in that, but that's what it a lot of this stems from. There were a couple incidents, I'm told, in the parking lot of the Wilmington chapter clubhouse. Um there were issues that I think Nick was having with members of the club and and and things got heated in the parking lot on more than one occasion. And one of the I think one of the final instances took place in in the parking lot. And then that sparks this three or four month Tik Tok tirade that Nick has been launching at uh Mike Stone Street and other members of the Wilmington Hell's Angels. So, uh, you had a, uh, a situation where, according to the police report, uh, Nick felt like he was being stalked, that, uh, people that he had fallen out with in 81 in Wilmington or people that they were affiliated with were were kind of leaning on him, uh, uh, you know, following him around, lurking being wherever he was across the street from his house or uh by where he worked or just kind of trying to make their presence felt. And then there was the uh an incident where Stone Street allegedly took his phone. And then shortly thereafter, Stone Street and some other guys show up at Nick's house and attack his bike, vandalize his bike, and then start tearing up his front yard and breaking windows. And I think I'm told uh that that Nick might have had a um infant child there when one of these attacks took place. So, you know, these were tensions that were elevating rapidly and a lot of it was playing out on social media and now Mike Stone Street is facing a lot of charges. And I don't know what kind of fallout this will have. I don't know if if or or uh or or how the the higherups in whether it be New York or Canada or Connecticut or even out in LA or Nocal are keeping tabs on this, but this [snorts] this is you know escalating and you know I don't know if if Stone Street uh has made bond or that. But it doesn't look like this is just an issue with Nick and Stone Street. This looks like it's an issue with Nick and the entire 81 chapter in Wilmington. Um, but you know, that's where we are right now. Arrests were made last week. Mike Ston Street is facing a lot of charges including uh robbery, aggravated assault, [snorts] vandalism, destruction of property, trespassing, and you know, this I hope is the end of this. I I hope that we don't have to report on any more uh violence or intimidation or bad blood in this chapter. I mean, it's the first time we're talking about the the North Carolina Hell's Angels. Um they've been they've only been a club for seven years. this isn't the best way to kind of have you introduced to the to the general, you know, 1% world on the internet to talk about how you have a renegade ex- prospect that's thrown shade to you on TikTok and then you roll up at his crib and attack his house and attack his bike, take his phone and a lot of this was caught on security camera. I mean, from what I can understand from reading the police report, um, Stone Street's kind of, you know, he's he's in a lot of trouble and, uh, I don't know how you can fight these charges. So, you know, at a at a minimum, I'm guessing Stone Street's going to have to go away and do some time on this. In terms of the more macro picture, the the Wilmington Hell's Angels need to do uh better with their with their house cleaning, housekeeping, both keeping, you know, their their their dirty laundry out of the public purview. um not having a situation like this go from in the clubhouse to out in the parking lot to out on social media to a series of assaults with a civilian now cuz he's not a member of the club and uh his family there. And uh I'm sure this is not a good look for, you know, 360, whether it be law enforcement in North Carolina, whether it be regular Joe and Jane Qitizen in Wilmington or the Hell's Angels brand itself. It just it looks messy. Um it looks unckempt. It looks like you can't control your own people. And this [clears throat] is again, this isn't the blue wave. This isn't, you know, the pagans or the outlaw. This is hell's hell's angels fighting with their own prospects and it getting very public and uh being blasted all over social media and now there's been arrests. So, wanted to come and give everyone an update. Hopefully, again, this is the last time I'm going to report on it. Hopefully, everything gets uh settled and there's no more violence.
