Two members were sentenced to life in federal prison. the Portland clubhouse president, Mark Leroy Dencklau, 61, and Portland clubhouse member, Chad Leroy Erickson, 51, received the life sentences after being convicted at trial in December 2021. Before we get into the details, we have to do a little history. So, Once upon a time, in the District of Oregon and beyond, there was a notorious criminal organization known as the Gypsy Joker Outlaw Motorcycle Club or GJOMC. This group operated as an enterprise, bringing together individuals engaged in activities that impacted interstate and foreign commerce. they are known to have a rivalry with the mongols, potentially because of colors. The GJOMC was no ordinary gang; it functioned as an ongoing and tightly-knit organization with members united in their common goals. this one percenter motorcycle club was originally formed in San Bernardino California, on April Fool's Day, 1956. Though founded in the United States, the MC expanded successfully overseas and is now one of the most notorious and feared motorcycle clubs in Australia, USA and Norway. The GJOMC had its roots in various cities across Oregon and Washington, including Klamath Falls, Portland, Salem, Seattle, Spokane, and the Tri-Cities (Kennewick). It was a feared outlaw motorcycle club, with each chapter having its own set of officers, such as president, vice-president, treasurer, sergeant at arms, and general members. All chapters, however, were under the authority of the national president, known as, the Wiz. The wiz had a short fuse, and wasn’t anyway to play around with. In September 2018, The wiz is accused of using large rings or brass knuckles to knock out the teeth of a member of the Oregon Veterans Motorcycle Association. The wiz told the man that he had 30 days to shut the veterans motorcycle club down and ordered him to no longer wear the Gypsy Joker patches, the government alleged. The wiz threatened to kill anyone who reported the assault. OVMA members are veterans that come from all military backgrounds. Anyone with an honorable discharge is allowed to join, bike or no bike. They are currently comprised of two chapters. High Desert Eagles in Bend Oregon and Wind Riders in Salem Oregon. Most of the issues in the story deal with OVMA although the reason is unclear. It could be, simply because the gypsies are known for establishing their dominance.
