PHOENIX The state of Arizona is the new owner of a clubhouse that belonged to the Hells Angels. The state will pay a member of the biker group $102,500 for the Phoenix clubhouse, money that comes from anti-racketeering funds forfeited to the state. "We've eliminated the home base of a criminal enterprise," said Chuck Johnson, an assistant attorney general. "This was a very useful and even laudatory use of $102,500."
The state outbid the Hells Angels for ownership of the clubhouse that's been used for twice-weekly meetings of the biker gang since 1999. Some of the options for the home include tearing it down, building low-income housing or turning it into a community center. The home should belong to the state in about 30 days. And just because the state got their clubhouse doesn't mean it's the end of the Hells Angels in the Phoenix area. "They wanted to kick us out of the house. It's a house. We'll get another one. We'll move into Scottsdale or Paradise Valley," said Bob Eberhardt, president of the Cave Creek Chapter of the Hells Angels.
Nope...he is still around.

Your worries are over! Guaranteed top dollar for your home courtesy of the State!
Call your state legislator/senator or govenor today and tell 'em: "The Hell's Angels are movin' in!"
As well words should fail you. This is too stupid for words.

I’m guessing that $102,500 will make a great down payment for an even better club house!
Thanks Chuck!
I can see the late night infomercials already . . .
Over achievers strike again! Our government is full them. They have to say I got something done.
Now that should make the crime rate plummet...
Now THAT would be a hilarious move.
The guy has a good point.
Yep, buy low and sell high. Sounds like Arizona could be a good repeat customer. The "Club" could be onto a money making deal.
