If I recall correctly, Goon Squad also has one unique accomplishment to their name:

They're the only Horde guild to ever kill Thrall.

How, you ask? Well, back pre-Cata and even pre-TBC, there was a quest in Stonetalon, part of which had a quiz, where getting a wrong answer gave you a debuff that made you hostile with your own faction for about 15 minutes. Goon Squad rounded up a bunch of their raiding best, deliberately debuffed themselves, and set off to Orgrimmar to test it out.

Much like the "Reckoning Bomb" Paladin bug, however, Blizzard fixed the quest shortly after the exploit was discovered, knocking the debuff down to five minutes and reducing all stats by 50% rather than turning you hostile.
