The unidentified federal agents infiltrated the gang and were accepted as full members, a difficult process that requires winning the trust of top leaders over a period of months, Torres said.
They had been given completely new identities, including Social Security numbers and life stories. To be accepted into the Mongols, the agents had to pass a lie detector test and background test carried out by private detectives.
Torres declined to comment on how they were able to pass the polygraph test. The agents started out doing errands for the gang, including security work at Mongol parties, and later became "full-patch" members, meaning they could wear the group's insignia.
What? There is a method to beating the polygraph test? Uncle Eric did do it...
I would refrian from commening on the Mongols myself, because I was among those screaming "hang the Hell's Angels!!" And then they were all found not guilty. I remember in a tv interview that a juror said 'the Feds were obviosly lying' and that he 'trusted the gang more than the FBI...'
