NOTORIOUS Hells Angels bikie Chris Bloomfield has been accepted into one of Australia’s most prestigious law schools, despite facing trial over a violent extortion.
Bloomfield, the alleged bikie gang enforcer at the centre of last year’s Snapchat video scandal involving NRL star Jarryd Hayne, has enrolled in a law degree at the Gold Coast’s elite Bond University.
Bond’s law faculty has produced graduates including Federal Tourism and Trade Minister Steve Ciobo as well as some of Australia’s top lawyers and businesspeople.
Bloomfield is believed to be financing his $135,000 degree at the private uni with the help of a Commonwealth-funded student loan.
Hulking and heavily tattooed, his appearance on Bond’s hallowed sandstone campus, where he began his studies last week alongside thousands of Australian and international students, has stunned police and lawyers.
He is on bail awaiting trial in the Southport District Court charged with extortion after he and two fellow Hells Angels allegedly bashed a man over a $20,000 drug debt, threatened to kill his family and took his BMW.
Police alleged in court documents that the man received a text from Bloomfield warning: “Every week u don’t pay my f----- money 10 per cent is getting added onto that amount!! U wanna go to the cops I know where your f------ family lives and I’ll shoot every single one of those motherf------ til I find you!!’
In September, Gold Coast Titans’ star recruit Hayne was plunged into controversy when a Snapchat video of him partying with Bloomfield emerged.
The video, shot after a day at the races attended by Bloomfield and Titans players, showed the alleged bikie standover man and Hayne joy-riding around the Coast and rapping together.
Bloomfield was shown waving a large wad of cash at the camera and declaring: “Haynesy just gave me five grand.”
Hayne later denied the money was his and said he had never met Bloomfield before that day.
The NRL Integrity Unit launched an investigation and Hayne received an official warning not to associate with known criminals.
Bikie sources say Bloomfield is on the outer with the Hells Angels because of the unwanted attention he has brought the gang.
Bloomfield recently posted his letter of offer from Bond University on his Instagram page. “I’ve been awaiting almost 6 months for this letter!!!” he told his followers.
“I can’t wait to start a new chapter in my crazy life for real!!! I wanna be an inspiration …”
