Peter Mauric, 48, was found guilty of one count of perjury after a three-day trial at Southport District Court on Friday.
A jury spent less than three hours deliberating before reaching the verdict.
The court heard Mauric had provided conflicting statements about his relationship to Jason Trouchet, the man seemingly targeted by a group of Bandidos at Broadbeach's Aura restaurant in September 2013.
Mauric told an October 2013 Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) hearing he did not know the man confronted by fellow Bandido Jacques Teamo at the restaurant.
During a trial at Southport Magistrates Court in 2015, Mauric was asked on the stand if he knew Mr Trouchet.
He told the court he had known Mr Trouchet for more than 20 years.
"We used to, let's be honest, bed the same girls together," Mauric said.
"One week I'd have her and next week he would.
"That's how close we were."
Mauric's defence barrister Scott Corish argued the CCC question didn't make it explicit they were referring to Mr Trouchet.
Mauric will be sentenced at Southport District Court on March 5.
