    Isn’t this that group that has more feds than real members? And that was entrapped by feds to kidnap some politician but the whole case was dismissed because… entrapment

      I’mma roll with No. Read the article they were convicted, which means that the case was NOT dismissed.

          And in the other case, two were acquited, two received a mistrial due to a deadlocked jury, and two pleas guilty to conspiracy.

            And the two who received a mistrial were retried, found guilty, and both sentenced to over 15 years

            e; and that was just the federal charges, there was a state level case that sent a bunch more to prison for a while too

              Thank you for elaborating. Definitely seems like the above poster was pretty off base.
