[5] In 1986, Hamel was being held at the Parthenais jail when another inmate started to shout that he wanted to undergo a lie detector test to prove his innocence.

[8] On 28 April 1987, Boucher killed Martin Huneault, the leader of a rival biker gang called the Death Riders.

[11] On 14 November 1994, informer Dany Kane told his police handlers: "Biff Hamel, another HA [Hells Angel] Montreal member, is the main associate of 'Mom' Boucher.

These two have very good relations with the top level of the Italians [the Rizzuto family] and are considered the richest members of HA Montreal".

[12] In early 1995, Kane reported to his police handlers that Hamel was going to be joining an elite new chapter of the Hells Angels to be called the Nomads.

[14] Besides for Hamel, the other members of the Nomad chapter were Boucher, Walter "Nurget" Stadnick, Scott Steinert, Donald "Pup" Stockford, Gilles "Trooper" Mathieu, Richard "Bert" Mayrand, Luc Bordeleau, Pierre Laurin, Louis "Mélou" Roy, Richard "Rick" Vallée, André Chouinard, Michel Rose, Denis "Pas Fiable" Houle, Normand Robitaille and René "Balloune" Charlebois.

[15] On 17 April 2000, Hamel was gunned down when attempting to flee from Rock Machine assassins in a Laval parking lot while he and his wife were taking his son to the doctor.

[16] Duguay, the Rock Machine member who was convicted of killing Hamel in 2006, was acquitted in 2016 when it was established that the eyewitness who gave the testimony that had convicted him had been fed information incriminating him by Detective Benoît Roberge, the senior anti-biker detective with the Montreal police who was secretly working for the Hells Angels, and that the witness had not actually seen Duguay kill Hamel as he had testified during his trial.
