RICO the congressional statute, is basically the establishment of any pattern of crimes (2 or more predicate acts) by one or more people in a ten year period that involves interstate commerce. the net is deliberately very wide, broad and vague, originally intended to catch mafia, even minor participants can be found equally culpable, and there is no limit to who is liable (ie elected officials) the predicate act crimes don't even have to be proved (convicted).

This is the easiest way to go after a network like this. It keeps things simple, and direct, and avoids dealing with all the books and crannies. What you want here is a wide net and media disclosure. Otherwise the beast can't be tamed.

*Nooks and crannies, although I love books and crannies. That should be a book store or something. Upvoating you just for the fact that it made smile.
