Looking for stories of times you interacted with a criminal organization in any capacity. Were/are there any infamous locals frequently talked about in your area (please don't dox yourself). Please give a genuine answer not a political stance. The only one I think I've had was a story I've told here before about having met an Aryan brotherhood guy when I was 12ish.

I worked near a clubhouse which used to be a lot more publicly active, in a trade that used to skew a lot more "rough".

I heard that they trafficked women and that they would come to the job site to "work". There were people with serious drug problems who could not be let go because of their affiliation. This last one I find the hardest to believe for some reason but apparently people were pressured into buying t shirts? Like with the clubs name and logo. Seems strange.
