Operation Patched Out was conducted by the Rhode Island state police in 2017 and 2018.
Deric "Tuna "McGuire was the Pag*ns Rhode island President and was hand picked by Conan Richter to execute the "Blue Wave" expansion in that state.
A large part of the case was based on wiretaps,which were declared inadmissible due to procedural errors in obtaining them,so the most serious racketeering charges never saw the light of day.
In 2022,Tuna was sentenced to 20 years with 10 to serve and 20 years probation.
