Excerpt:
A former bikie leader who converted to Islam has fronted a video endorsing a Sharia-compliant cryptocurrency.
Vince Focarelli, who survived five attempts on his life as the Adelaide-based leader of the Comancheros, is the new frontman for Bayan Token, a Singapore-based Islamic finance group.
The 42-year-old reformed bikie is introduced in a three-minute YouTube clip as a ‘devout Muslim and social worker’ who was previously a ‘gang leader’.
‘My name is Vince Focarelli and I believe in God,’ he said, after delivering a brief introduction in Bahasa Indonesian.
‘I believe that when you do good, goodness will come back to you.’
