Well, the RICO statute is pretty widespread. So, listen, when they came after us... You know, I don't know if you know this, but as a predicate act for a RICO, you can have gone to trial, been acquitted in the case, and you can still use that charge as a predicate act for the RICO. I see. It's almost like there's double jeopardy allowed in RICO.

So, listen, without knowing all the details, I'm sure they can find something. Believe me, they found it against us very easily. Yeah. You know, look, with the insider trading thing, I mean, they exempt themselves from insider trading, I think. So I don't know how effective that would be. But there's so much shenanigans going on. I would have to believe that they can find it.

Ex-Mafia Capo Michael Franzese: The REAL Gangsters Are Running Our Government โ€“ Ask Dr. Drew โ€“ Ep 464

Well, I had 18 shell companies. I was in a scheme that I ran for almost eight years where we were defrauding the government out of tax on every gallon of gasoline. In order to do that and to get the money into our accounts, I had 18 Panamanian companies that were all shell companies. No brick and mortar, no employees, no product.

Absolutely. I mean, it can't explain where this money came from. There was no service that was performed. No. It was just money coming into the accounts, exactly what we did, you know, the same way. And that's why I said it's a RICO indictment. Whether he's found guilty or not, that's another thing. You know, innocent until proven guilty. But there's definitely enough there for an indictment.
