Videos:
These are from The History Channel's 'Gangland Series'. Uploaded to YouTube by permanentlockdown on August 1, 2009. This episode brings in how much of a business the gang really is. A little on the methamphetamine trade. Two former gang members were interviewed. One, Jimmy DeGregorio , is a former "meth cooker" and "president" of the Pagans. The other one, "Denny" was an enforcer. Both of these informants were betrayed by the gang, which seems to be the main way informants are made.
