During the summer of 2004, Tommy Thompson established the S.M.M. in Jersey City, New Jersey. On October 31, 2004, an 18-count Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) indictment charged Thompson with one count of racketeering, encompassing specific and non-specific, robbery and robbery conspiracy, heroin and cocaine conspiracy and distribution. The indictment also charged Thompson with nine counts of violent crimes in aid of racketeering, including specific attempted murders, murder conspiracy, robberies and shootings; four counts of possession, use and carrying of a firearm for violent crime; one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and heroin, and one count of heroin distribution.[4]
Thompson pleaded guilty on July 6, 2005, and admitted that he directed other members and associates of S.M.M. to commit acts of murder and assault - and took part in one of the assaults himself. He also specifically admitted directing the murder of a Jersey City man whom Thompson believed was cooperating with police against him and other gang members.[5][6][7] the Florida operation was dismantled by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judy and the Polk County Sheriffs Department in joint operation with various other agencies.
