From Rap Dictionary

Gregory Wooley: leader of the Syndicate gang and only black full-patch member of the Hell's Angels who was arrested by police in a sting dubbed "Operation Springtime" in 2001. He is currently surving a 4 1/2 year sentence.

Police describe the Syndicate as an affiliate gang of the Hell's Angels' Montreal chapter founded by Gregory Wooley; a former member of the Rockers (a defunct Hell's Angels puppet gang). Founded in 1998, the Syndicate are a street gang with significant control over cocaine trafficking in Montreal's north-end and is made up primarily of Haitian immigrants and African Canadians. The Syndicate are part of a larger group collectively known in Montreal as the Crips or Blues. Unlike other puppet gangs associated with the H.A, members of the Syndicate are not groomed to become future members of the Hell's Angels and have no desire in doing so. This gang played a significant role in helping the Trois Rivieres chapter of the Hell's Angels take over the void left by the Nomads in the late 90's. Their allies include the Hell's Angels, Crack Down Posse and the 67's. Their enemies include the Bo-Gars. Dany Cadet-Sprinces and Emmanuel Zephir are also considered high-ranking members of this gang, and was pegged on the streets as the 'untouchables'.
