RICO Report

About RICO Report

Join Troutman Pepper Locke White Collar and Litigation Partner Cal Stein for a special podcast series, discussing the legal landscape surrounding the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). While often associated with organized crime or gang activity, RICO's reach actually covers much more than what many think of as traditional "racketeering." Criminal prosecutors and civil litigants commonly use RICO to bring cases against individuals and organizations engaging in more conventional business activity, often by claiming various types of fraud that violate broad federal statutes encompassing a myriad of conduct far more likely to be alleged against a businessperson than a mafia crime boss (e.g., mail fraud, wire fraud, computer fraud, bank fraud, among others). During this series, Cal discusses the history and various elements of RICO, including examining its predicate acts, interviewing RICO newsmakers, and analyzing RICO cases with other RICO practitioners.
