Feds take down murderous Bandidos biker gang in major RICO sweep after ‘vicious’ members waged ‘war on our streets’


Federal prosecutors in Texas have unsealed a 22-count indictment charging more than a dozen members of the violent Bandidos motorcycle gang with murder, conspiracy and racketeering.

Reputed gangbangers with sinister nicknames like “Monster,” “Loco,” “Gun Drop” and “10 Round” were named in the far-reaching indictment made public this week following a six-year investigation into the gang’s operations in the Houston area, prosecutors announced.

“The Bandidos declare war on rivals—and they wage that war on our streets,” Antoinette Bacon, supervisory official with the justice department’s Criminal Division, said in a statement.

“Criminal behavior like this has no place in America, and the Department of Justice is fully committed to bringing peace back to our communities,” Bacon said.

According to the indictment unsealed Wednesday, the “self-defined outlaw” gang resorted to murder, robbery, arson and assault under a “smash on site” order issued by gang leaders during a violent turf war with the rival B*EAST biker gang.

Assistant US Attorney Nicholas Ganjei said their crimes were “committed openly and wantonly.” In all, 14 members of the Bandidos Houston-area chapter were named.

“Make no mistake, members of this chapter are not the glamorized characters you have seen in TV shows and in the movies,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Douglas Williams told reporters, according to Fox affiliate KTXH-TV in Houston. “These are vicious, violent men who regularly put innocent people in life-threatening situations to further a senseless turf war.”

The feud between the two gangs began in 2019, with a federal grand jury voting to indict the defendants on Feb. 11, prosecutors said.

According to the indictment, six of the reputed Bandidos — John “Big John” Pfeffer, 32; Darvi “10 Round” Hinojosa, 35; Bradley “Dolla Bill” Rickenbacker, 37; Michael “Money Mike” Dunphy, 57; Christopher “Monster” Sanchez, 40; and Brandon “Loco” or “Gun Drop” Hantz, 33 — face charges of conspiracy to commit racketeering, with most also facing assault or gun charges.

Two gang members, David “Brake Check” Vargas, 33, and John “Tech9” Sblendorio, 54, are charged with murder in aid of racketeering and gun charges.

Bandidos Marky “Pinche Guero” Baker, 40, Ronnie “Meathead” McCabe, 56, Jeremy “JD” Cox, 37, Roy “Repo” Gomez, 50, and Marcel Lett, 56, are charged with assault and racketeering.

One other biker, 30-year-old Sean “Skinman” Christison, is charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and related gun charges, federal prosecutors said.

The Bandidos are an international gang that has as many as 2,000 active members in the US, with another 1,000 to 1,500 in Mexico and other countries, the feds said.

Never heard of the B East MC but google tells me they're a biker gang active in Texas.

Texas is the Bandidos's historical stronghold. That's where their Mother Chapter is and they always have been the dominant MC down there.

We know things can get hostile very quickly with them. let's not forget the massive shout out in Waco, Texas between the Bandidos and the Cossacks (9 dead).

These MC often get hit with RICO cases because they're still too easy to infiltrate and they do things very openly. The competition for membership and territory is fierce between the main MCs so they tend to recruit guys at a fast pace. They hire private detective to check their background but ATF and the FBI have all the tools to build a good cover story for their undercover guys.

Honesty, before reading this news article, I had never heard of them either.

You gotta admit, some of their nicknames are far more colorful than mobsters. I think a lot of it has to do with bikers and street gangs going out of their way to be imaginative.

Damn Houston bandidos huh? I’m from Houston and I even thought most of the MC activities was like in seabrook down to Galveston not really much Houston. I’ve noticed a couple of different 1% clubs popping up around Houston. Don’t see as much bandidos as I used to but Houston is huge. I’m about to look into this. Interesting.


One of the guys in that indictment was interviewed not long ago on demons row. Said he was out of the life apparently on the interview months ago lol
