Hantz is allegedly a member of the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang and was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering activity and arson related to an alleged turf war that began in 2019 with a rival biker gang.
Throughout Hantz’s time on Survivor, he was often associated with his uncle Russell Hantz who is regarded as one of the show’s biggest villains.
Supervisory Official Antoinette T. Bacon of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said in a statement on Wednesday: “Today’s indictment is an important step in eliminating the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.”.
However, during his second season on the show, he ended up making a dramatic exit after bursting out in a fit of rage and dumping his tribe’s food supply of rice and beans.
His tribe consequently decided to forfeit their immunity challenge to vote Hantz out at the next elimination.
