The mystery crew have claimed responsibility for scores of attacks across Edinburgh and Glasgow since launching an underworld war against caged kingpin Mark Richardson, 38, and the notorious Daniel clan.
And in a sneering statement shared online, they mock Richardson associate David McMillan who was badly injured in an alleged 'machete attack'.
They say: 'Since March, more than 40 people have had their houses, businesses and cars torched.
'The majority of you have left your homes throughout this period.
'David McMillan is one of the few who stayed put, albeit he hired 24/7 security to sit outside his home. Look how that worked out.'
The group then go on to hit out at rivals said to be behind social media accounts and revenge firebombs attacks.
It adds: 'You have retaliated against us by creating social media accounts, sending fake stories to the papers and burning the odd car.
'TMJ have no social media accounts, never have and never will.
'We will continue to target you on a regular basis for stealing from us.'
The clip includes footage of a fire taking hold outside a home in Tranent, East Lothian, and comes as cops working as part of Operation Portalegde continued to investigate the carnage.

We told how two men appeared in court this week accused of the attempted murder over the alleged attack on McMillan.
Cops have now arrested 47 people as part of their investigations into a wave of violence linked to an ongoing feud between rival groups.
We told how McMillan was rushed to hospital after an alleged incident outside his home on Edinburgh's Pitcairn Grove on Thursday, May 22.
Detective Chief Superintendent Dave Ferry said: 'Further to these arrests, we have also recovered a vehicle and a firearm, both of which are believed to have been used in recent incidents.
'This activity highlights our continued commitment to tackling organised crime and we are following a number of positive lines of enquiry.
'We still require further support from local communities as our investigation progresses.
"If you know anything that could assist our ongoing investigation, please do the right thing and speak to us.'
