Jay Dobyns – ATF Agent Responsible for Infiltrating Hells Angels Motorcycle Club
In this episode, retired Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) agent Jay Dobyns sits down with Giovanni and Dutch to share how he went from getting shot on his fourth day on the job to successfully infiltrating the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club under the alias Jaybird Davis, the gunrunner. Having previously worked on outlaw motorcycle club cases themselves, Giovanni and Dutch share their own insights into just how violent and dangerous these organizations can be. Dobyns also talks about his other cases, including a Las Vegas bombing that was stopped by law enforcement before it could unfold, exemplifying the importance of undercover work in keeping the public safe.
Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Jay Dobyns was a standout PAC 10, D-1 wide receiver turned Special Agent for the ATF in 1987 at 26 years old. He is best known for successfully infiltrating the Hells Angels. The investigation, known as Operation Black Biscuit, resulted in 52 defendants being arrested, 16 of whom were indicted on racketeering and murder charges. However, most of the serious violations were eventually dismissed and Dobyns’ personal information became public, exposing him and his family to intimidation, threats and bounties on his life.

I'm now going to watch! Stone Cold!!
The word on the street is " Jay Bird" loved the yayo and that's why the case imploded
F" all that why does this not seem like the final chapter for Jay D who would want to live looking over there shoulder the rest of there lives. Those Gangs play the long game.
Mixed feelings about Dobbins, but this series has been 🔥
Jay seems honest,for being a sneak 🤔
"Who is Billy Giacalone?" He wacked Hoffa His Son is the current Boss
ATF should be defunded, disbanded and dissolved.
Many dead people cannot speak. So what is true?
First they said it's Tupac car later it's suge car 😂
Disgraced ATF agent. He was at Waco, that explains a lot. He doesn't deserve to sit in that chair next to you two honorable gentlemen.
He was tweaking too to keep up
Heard this story a hundred times, but I'll watch it again, lol. Dobyns is a good interview.
Same 😂
I've been watching him since back when he claimed he did get patched in and he "fake" snorted drugs. Sorry, JayBird we still remember what you said before.
Gleason slayed John Gotti Sr. It helped by having a sequestered jury. It didn’t hurt Sammy turned Rat and gave solid evidence to make sure Senior wasn’t going to weasel out of that case.
He looks like Martin Lawrence and sounds like an Italian mobster
He's sharp too
His brother Kurt says their father always had legit jobs
Did he really say the police searched each other like that was sufficient
Giovanni looks and sounds a lot like former FBI Agent Joe Pistone.
Without john Gotti gleason is a nobody
Awesome interview.
This is great history. I'd never heard of anyone standing up so well to Joe McCarthy. This was great.
5:13 in. is that Ron jeremy.
I spent 25 years in LE in big city..patrol..vice ..dets and I never lied or even felt pressured to lie..especially in court. Make good arrests and keep a clean nose and there was reason to lie. No reward or incentive for lies
Where's the part were Gleeson "Praised ~Sammy the Bullsh!t~ for being a Real Gangster?" (This of course was allegedly said after Sammy's testimony) Sammy also said Gleeson talked about the John Gotti's tapes & how John said "let's put this all on Sammy!" So 😆🍿 lets get to it!!!
Bunch of snitches talking
I met him in N.Y. He was loved by everyone. Don't let his nice exterior fool you. He is a true American badass. Much love and respect from the Philippines.
He’s in almost every hood documentary
Wow!! Lew Rice's account of his 26-year career as a DEA agent really pulls back the curtain on the dangerous realities of drug investigations. Hearing about the high-stakes meetings with drug dealers and the constant risk of technological failures putting his life on the line is absolutely gripping. This interview is a must-watch for anyone fascinated by what really goes on behind the scenes in the war on drugs. Definitely going to check out more from this podcast!
Awesome interview👍👍
Great interview, cousin! I enjoyed hearing your story in more detail! ❤
Another source for my Eddie Muller addiction! My first introduction was his commentary on Crime Wave. The movie and the commentary were like something I'd never been exposed to. That was years ago and now I'm hooked on both Eddie Muller's commentaries and noir. Thank you THE MOB MUSEUM for posting this
fire interview 🔥
Please have him back and get him to talk about Frank Matthews and Ike Atkinson. Would send the views through the roof!
I concur! I’m surprised the aforementioned figures and many more from NYC, and particularly, Harlem wasn’t discussed. I’m shocked and kind of disappointed 😢
100% agree
Great show once again boyz thankyou for the best quality
Just watched your brother, Kurt, on SWU and he thinks you're a scumbag. After watching this, I see why.
And I heard you're a thief. Yikes.
the whole family are scumbags
👍 interview
So the US AG can go to jail but the President can try to overturn an election by causing a riot and the get re-elected 4 years later.
Great interview…..
First
I don’t understand how this guy is considered a “hero” when he was the one who messed up the situation in Mexico. Like always Americans ruining other countries.
She is the best guest they have had! However, i would still love to hear more stories from Dutch and Gio! I know they have some wild ones.
Just think about how awful it must have been to grow up in Brooklyn with these Goomba Morons all pretending to be Sonny Corleone on all the street corners...
I live right near Bloomington. Cool to hear her stories.
Stole money from all of us who lived in Brooklyn, pathetic person.
I didn't say I new Marcus Aurelius, i said he touched me on the shoulder once
When we first arrived in Las Vegas in 2016, my assumption was the Mob Museum had to be the biggest tourist trap on the planet. I could not have been more wrong about that. No question it's one of the coolest things about Las Vegas, and an integral part of the local culture.
I heard that the two cops got seen by the mother was watching TV and the one heavy set cop was promoting a book he had wrote and the mother seen him and put it together and called the police a told them how they came to her home looking for her son. That's what I seen on tv
You're a fool Gianni
Jackie's son right?
Scummer
It was a very enjoyable journey. I hope to return to Vegas & visit The Mob Museum again.
