Putting on my conspiracy hat, what did Thickman know that needed to be silenced?
I still think that Dudus had a lot of info about government officials in Jamaica and whatever underhanded measures occurring here in the USA. So did his father who met that fiery death.
I can't get over the fact that Dudus is in a minimum security federal prison - club fed and set to be released in 2030. 5 years.

All I know is that when cops do this so close to elections, big licks coming for the incumbents but listening to taxi men and folks at bus stops, I already have a good idea.
This is all over international news today.
