Summary

In this emotional and eye-opening episode, Malachi Seaman, former tribal police officer turned Vagos motorcycle gang member, reflects on one of the most devastating moments of his life — the tragic death of his brother — and how it forced him to reevaluate everything he believed about loyalty, brotherhood, and betrayal inside the outlaw biker world.

Malachi shares how the Vagos, once seen as a surrogate family, exposed the harsh realities of misplaced trust, internal politics, and the absence of true loyalty when it mattered most. His raw recollections of emotional trauma, grief, and betrayal provide a rare look at the psychological toll gang life takes, especially for those trying to escape it.

0:00.0	The detective stood up and told me that they had forensically matched the bullet that killed my brother to the gun and the guy.
0:06.7	He wasn't being charged that it was self-defense.
0:09.1	I believe that all happened because they wanted me in custody when that news was explained to me.
0:13.5	Regardless, I reach out to National and I tell them, look, what's going on?
0:16.8	What's my next move?
0:19.1	And they said, we're opening up Arkansas and Oklahoma. If you want to, you can go run Arkansas. And so, you know, this was like in my class that I teach, this is where you start to realize that no love, no loyalty. Because up to this point, I characterize the first half of my time with the Bogos as being ignorant, which
0:39.8	means I was giving 100%, I was in it for the long haul, and these guys weren't loyal to me.
0:45.6	But I would characterize the second half of my career with them as stupidity.
0:51.8	Because one-sided loyalty is called stupidity. When you're loyal to people and they're not
0:57.1	loyal back and you continue to do it, you're stupid. Hey, everybody.
1:14.1	Welcome back to episode three or part three of this week's episode with Malachi Seaman,
1:20.0	former tribal police officer, former president of Vago's chapter.
1:23.8	Former drug user.
1:24.8	I mean, there's a lot of formers in his life that I'm glad they're called former now. But kind of surprised ourselves yesterday with how much information and the
1:34.5	details that we got into. And there's so much more that I wanted to ask Malachi. And if you saw
1:39.9	yesterday's episode, if you haven't, go back and watch it because you need that background to
1:43.1	understand what we're going to talk about today. I've still got so many questions. So we're
1:47.1	having episode three this week. Malachi, thank you so much for coming back for a third part. I know
1:52.2	I'm taking up a lot of your time, but I tell you, I truly do appreciate it. I don't know what it
1:57.9	is, but when I bring on former bikers and former criminals on the show,
2:02.9	that seems to be our biggest audiences that we get from that.
2:05.5	And I think it's just because it's so intriguing to those people that don't know anything about law enforcement
