Is, no. Was, sort of. The organization was banned in Bavaria in 1785 by the then Duke of Bavaria (along with all other secret societies). They attempted to model themselves after the Freemasons, and had some similarities as far as structure and organization. But they were not a street gang or a group of organized criminals.

And, they no longer exist. Have not in fact for over 220 years.
