{"product_id":"9781793130709","title":"Civil RICO","description":"THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze and discuss issues surrounding claims brought under 18 U.S. Code § 1964 of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. * * * RICO \"creates a private civil cause of action that allows '[a]ny person injured in his business or property by reason of a violation of section 1962 to sue in federal district court....\" A successful plaintiff may \"recover threefold the damages....\"RICO is implicated when defendants have engaged in a \"pattern of racketeering activity.\" That pattern consists of certain statutorily defined predicate acts \"encompass[ing] dozens of state and federal offenses\" \"that together demonstrate the existence or threat of continued criminal activity.\" The statute \"sets forth four specific prohibitions aimed at different ways in which a pattern of racketeering activity may be used to infiltrate, control, or operate a[n] enterprise['s]\" criminal misconduct. Plaintiffs allege that Defendants violated two of those prohibitions - §§ 1962(c) and (d). Section 1962(c) proscribes participating in the conduct of an interstate enterprise's affairs through a \"pattern of racketeering activity,\" which RICO defines as \"at least two acts of racketeering activity.\" Section 1962(d) makes it unlawful to conspire to violate subsections (a) through (c).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLandMark Publications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 05, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e538 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1793130701\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781793130709\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46702811873585,"sku":"9781793130709","price":36.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781793130709.jpg?v=1691869104","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781793130709","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
