Discussion
RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) charges target organized crime by prosecuting patterns of illegal activity. It’s used to nail groups or individuals running criminal enterprises through acts like extortion, fraud, or trafficking. Think mob bosses or cartels.
Example: A gang leader gets hit with RICO for running drugs and murders over years, tying all crimes under one conspiracy. Another is a CEO cooking books and bribing officials, showing a pattern of corruption. Diddy’s Count 1, Racketeering Conspiracy, likely alleges he orchestrated a criminal network. If the jury can’t agree, it’s probably due to shaky evidence on intent or structure. RICO’s broad, so prosecutors love it, but it’s often a stretch. Cut the nonsense, focus on hard proof. Bitcoin’s ledger would expose these scams instantly if used right.
