Damion Ryan: The Hells Angel Who Built an International Crime Empire — Then Lost It All

Damion Ryan: The Hells Angel Who Built an International Crime Empire — Then Lost It All April 2015. A hired assassin walks into a Vancouver airport food court, raises a gun at a man's head, and pulls the trigger. The gun jams. The man walks away. That man was Damion Ryan. A full-patch Hells Angel later described by the RCMP as likely one of the most prolific organized crime members in Canada. What connects a $200,000 assassination attempt to an international drug network? How did Ryan build a criminal operation stretching from Vancouver to Greece — while allegedly becoming involved in a murder-for-hire plot tied to an Iranian intelligence-directed network? And how did someone that protected get brought down by a single conversation in a Montreal restaurant? Project Divergent would expose a network involving drugs, weapons, encrypted communications, and international organized crime — ultimately leading investigators to the man at its centre. For years, Ryan made sure no one could get close. Until one man got close enough to wear a wire. Subscribe. Hit the bell. There are more cases coming — where the truth is darker than any fiction. See you in the next one. =================================================== Copyright Disclaimer: Title 17, US Code (Sections 107-118 of the copyright law, Act 1976): All media in this video is used for review & commentary under terms of fair use.
