 Welcome to the original gangsters podcast. I'm your host Scott Bernstein quick hitter edition. We're going out to Chicago Welcome home Randy mad Jaeger Legendary Midwest biker boss from the outlaws motorcycle club Ran the entire Windy city region or quote-unquote red region, which was outlaw territory covering Illinois Indiana and Wisconsin He was a top lieutenant and confidant of the legendary Taco Bowman Harry Taco Bowman the international president of the outlaws motorcycle club Just a game changer in every way Born and bred Detroit or took the outlaws headquarters from Chicago to Detroit in the 80s and 90s and And Randy mad Randy mad Jaeger was his guy In the Chicago region even though he wasn't From Chicago. He was from Gary, Indiana, and he led the Northwest Indiana Faction of the outlaws but for people that are from the Midwest or that have been to Illinois or the Chicago area You know that no similar to the way that New Jersey parts of New Jersey are kind of suburbs of Philadelphia In Chicago if you live in Gary, Indiana or Northwest Indiana, you're only 10 15 minutes from downtown Chicago, so it's it's For all intents and purposes a part of the Chicago land area and mad Jaeger was Taco bowman's boots on the ground out there. They both went down in the late 90s. They both went on the run Taco lasted two years Got apprehended in 1999 hiding in a house in Macomb County in Detroit being hit by the Italian mafia here Maddie eager stayed on the run for almost two decades He was not apprehended until 2014 or 15 I believe was 14 No, I think was 15 nonetheless Apprehended in Mexico in a very dramatic Confrontation between US Marshals Mexican authorities where they set up a sting operation Maddie eager and his wife were at like a beach side cafe they were converged upon and Wifey took off in a car I shouldn't laugh. It's not funny. Wifey took off in a car and ended up dying in a car chase with Authorities Maddie eager was taken into custody with no No problems he ended up copping a plea to a big racketeering case out of Milwaukee Bowman's case was out of Florida Maddie eager was on the run for a long time spent most of that time in Mexico He copped a plea Took a plea of I think it was 10 to 15 years. He's done about eight or nine He is now out checked into a halfway house last week in Chicago Not really sure where he stands Within the club right now I would guess he's in very good standing and that he would be a guy that if he wants to get back in Would easily come back in and come back in a really high level There's a lot going on with the outlaws right now We know us out in Buffalo with Tommy. Oh, but also in Chicago with this kind of invasion from the Mongols and The alliances that the Mongols are making with Hispanic street kinks there outlaws are countering it with reaffirming ties to the Chicago outfit the mob and then some Let Latino street kinks of their own as well as some African-American street kinks. Um, So we'll see but but Maddie eager is a guy that His name rings from coast to coast in outlaw circles a guy that you know I always kind of talk about that holy trifecta Beloved feared and respected. That was what the Maddie eager was. That's what Harry Taco Bowman was So welcome home to Maddie eager Hasn't been back to Chicago area or the Northwest Indiana area since the late 90s You know when Michael Jordan the Bulls were winning NBA championships. That was a long time ago So good luck to Maddie eager getting back on his feet out there in Chicago Northwest, Indiana OG pod Scott Bernstein out
