Related: About this forum37 people with ties to white supremacist groups arrested for running No. TX meth-distribution ring
Thirty-seven people most from Dallas and surrounding cities, all affiliated with various white supremacist groups have been arrested on drug-trafficking conspiracy charges, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office.
The federal grand jurys indictment, filed in October but unsealed today following the arrests, alleges that each defendant has been part of a meth-distribution operating from Tulsa to Mesquite. And, says the indictment, theyre all have ties to the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, the Irish Mob (which, the feds say, operates out of Tulsa), the Aryan Circle or the Dirty White Boys, which takes its name from a prison softball team formed in Texas in the mid-1980s.
Despite their differences, the ABT, Aryan Circle, Irish Mob, and Dirty White Boys often collaborate for purposes of drug distribution of other illegal ventures.
In this instance, the feds allege, people nicknamed Pacman, Taco Chris, Bam Bam, Phreek, Peppermint Patty, Charlie Brown and 31 others teamed up between at least January 2013 to October 2014 to distribute meth in North Texas. Three other Dallas residents have also been arrested and charged in a separate federal complaint for having taken part in the same ring.

They're just organized crime under different brands doing different kinds of thefts.
