Goren v. New Vision International, Inc., 156 F.3d 721 (7th cir. 1998)

"The Seventh Circuit stated that it had always applied the rule announced in Salinas, but then went on to state that a defendant can be held liable under §1962(d) only when the plaintiff alleges and establishes "(1) that each defendant agree to . . . to participate in the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity and (2) that each defendant agreed that someone would commit at least two predicate acts to accomplish those goals."

Neither of these have been or can be established for the greater membership of the "investment club" since they did not happen. If any members conspired in the way the indictment states, then they could be held responsible. But to my knowledge, no member did any such thing. That is why no other members were charged or arrested, even those that directly worked in the AP offices.
