Unfortunately not criminal charges, just a lawsuit.

Note that a google news search of "lawsuit clinton foundation" only pulls up news about NY suing the Trump Foundation. DuckDuckGo shows more.

If it were criminal charges, then this would be a big deal. I think gov is just putting on a show to try and appease us, since we haven't, and won't, stop investigating them. Thank god we have people on this site that understand how jurisdiction and the court system works. They continue to treat researchers like we're stupid, and it always backfires. Idiots!!!!

“ RICO authorizes severe penalties of fine and imprisonment. The maximum punishment for an individual on a single RICO charge is imprisonment for twenty years (life if any of the predicate acts charged, such as murder, would permit such a punishment), and a a fine of $250,000 or twice the proceeds of the offense. In addition, RICO revived the punishment of forfeiture of property, which before 1970 had been little used in American criminal law.

RICO imposes, as a mandatory penalty, a judgment of forfeiture to the United States government not only of any proceeds or property derived from the proceeds of the crime, but also of any interest the defendant holds in the enterprise, or any property of any kind that provides a source of influence over the enterprise. The latter provisions, rooted in the statute's original purpose of preventing criminal control of legitimate business, aim not only to punish the offender, but also to deny continuing power over an enterprise to anyone who has corrupted it to criminal ends.

Such forfeitures can be extremely harsh, and even disproportionate to the offense.”
