In a RICO case, you can also use state law to prove a federal crime. So what they did is they made allegations of crime. state California bribery to prove federal RICO. And why that's important is under the state of California, which is way easier to prove bribery, all they got to prove is if somebody offers you money not to tell something to law enforcement, that's bribery. That's it.
That's a state level bribery claim. And so when I looked it up, I'm like, dang, that makes sense on why they're doing. And even though it's a state level act, It still counts under federal RICO.

Yes, all of these individuals are part of the enterprise, okay? And that's the first part of RICO. You must prove a criminal enterprise. Well, here comes the second part. You still got to prove two predicate acts. Just because these people are watching this, what are the predicate acts that they've actually committed? That's why they're able to go with Diddy. Diddy has committed the arson.

Diddy has committed the kidnapping. Diddy has committed the bribery. The other big reason why the federal government is going after all of these charges under RICO is the statute of limitations in California on most of these charges have already passed. So a lot of these people couldn't be convicted of crimes in the states where they occurred.

If I was defending anybody in the Diddy sphere who worked for Combs Enterprise, I would be like, that dude did it. We had nothing to do with that. Because if you remember what Cassie said, how many people were in the freak off? Her and the dude and Diddy. So Christina Cronin's like, I wasn't in no freak off. I didn't get an invitation. I mean, the arson. We don't know who committed the arson.

The kidnapping. That was Diddy. You understand? They're all able to say Diddy did the predicate acts. Nobody else.

Okay. A predicate act to prove RICO. RICO, of course, is the Racketeer Influence Corrupt Organization Act. The person of the RICO was created to get the mob. The reason we were trying to get the mob is we're trying to make a way to get seemingly unrelated crimes that are being ordered by an underboss, if you will, or the Marvel villain, as he has been described. So there's a hierarchy.

There's somebody on the top of the RICO who is ordering similarly unrelated acts. And so in a mob situation, if they said, hey, Bobby, I want you to go rob the bank. Jesse, I want you to go shoot that fella. And Tony, I want you to go steal some sardines. Those are seemingly unrelated, but they wanted to be able to tie the person who was ordering things together.
