>>>>>if Rico applied to all conspiracies, wouldn't we have Rico offenses for bank robberies, etc.<<<<< Yup. Well, kinda. At least two predicate acts are required to establish a pattern. Pick one from column A (say, bank robbery) and one from column B (say, money laundering, or stealing firearms). Any two persons are enough. A corporation is a person. However, because a corporation acts through its employees, I suspect that Milken did not conspire with Drexel, but Boesky did? >>>>>I am aware that it is not only for Organized Crime, but it was intended to be a strong club.<<<<< True, but securities fraud is serious stuff. Why don't you think Milken did anything? CB
