him a local celebrity in Hamilton, allowing him to attract many recruits for his chapter. The clubhouse for the Hamilton chapter was located in a former convenience store at 269 Lottridge Street, about six blocks away from the Outlaws clubhouse at 402 Birch Avenue. The Hamilton chapter of the Outlaws had been a Satan's Choice chapter until 1977, so the choice of location was considered to be a provocation. The decision to open a third version of a Satan's Choice chapter in Hamilton was regarded as an insult to Mario Parente, the president of the Outlaws' Hamilton chapter. One policeman stated: "Oh, they hated Parente. And they knew it would piss him off to have another club in what he considered to be his town". The pool-table for the Satan's Choice Hamilton clubhouse was donated by the 'Ndranghetisti Pasquale "Fat Pat" Musitano, the boss of the Musitano family. Detective Sergeant Len Isnor, the head of the Ontario Provincial Police's Anti-Biker Enforcement Unit, was not impressed with Croitoru, saying: "After a while, you can tell who's cut out for the life and who isn't. I could tell right away that he wouldn't make it. Some of the guys would talk to you. If there was a guy who was really into bikes, you could talk bikes, but K-9 [Croitoru] would talk about anything, especially himself- he was just stupid that way". Croitoru was especially close to Michel Dubé, the president of Satan's Choice Sudbury chapter, who was considered by Isnor to be the most dangerous outlaw biker in all of Ontario. Isnor recalled that he once talked to a biker and a convicted murderer with a "crazed look" in his eyes that reminded many of Charles Manson who told him that he was utterly terrified of Dubé, who was regarded as a reckless psychopath. Both Croitoru and Dubé purchased the cocaine that their chapters sold from the Hells Angels' "mother chapter" in Montreal. Guindon had ruled that members of Satan's Choice were free to do business with the Hells Angels. Richard "Rick" Vallée of the Angels Nomad chapter sold the majority of the drugs purchased by Satan's Choice's Hamilton and Sudbury chapters, which being new chapters did not have the same established drug-dealing connections that the older Satan's Choice chapters had. Lorne Edgar Campbell, a long-time member of Satan's Choice was not impressed with Croitoru whom he met at a party
