Simms testified that his job was to unload BMFs cocaine from limos outfitted with secret compartments. He said he piled as many as 100 bricks of cocaine at a time inside the basement of one of BMFs stash houses, an ultra-modern Buckhead mansion nicknamed Space Mountain. And he said that on one occasion, in the fall of 2004, he was ordered by high-ranking BMF members Chad J-Bo Brown and Martez Tito Byrth to set aside multi-kilo cocaine shipments for two customers. Simms said the customers picked up the coke from him at Space Mountain.
When asked by assistant U.S. Attorney Robert McBurney who the customers were, Simms gave two names: William Doc Marshall, a high-level BMF co-conspirator who testified earlier in the trial, and Jeezy.
Young Jeezy the rapper? McBurney asked.
Yes, Simms answered.
Jeezys name cropped up several times in the first two days of testimony, but only in relation to his well-publicized friendship with BMFs Atlanta-based leader, Demetrius Big Meech Flenory. In November, Flenory pleaded guilty in Detroit to running a continuing criminal enterprise. He faces a minimum sentence of 20 years.
