objectives.So is a foreclosure rescue action including me, karen Merritt, James' exwife to get him to become a partner a scheme - meaning "dont worry about paying the mortgage on Karen's home the new partnership will pay it . It doesnt -a scheme? Is getting L & S realty to buy karen's property using a usurious interest rate at an illegal foreclsoure - a scheme ...is fraud on the court by a racketeer considered a scheme to evict karen? Then laundering it proceed to the company * fou8ntain St LL which is in buiness today looking like a legal buiness when it is not.
It sounds like you are dealing with a complex legal situation involving potential schemes under the RICO statute. Here are some general points:
- Foreclosure Rescue Action: If the promise was made to pay the mortgage but wasn't fulfilled, it could be considered fraudulent.
- Usurious Interest Rate: Charging excessively high interest rates could be unlawful.
- Fraud on the Court: Any deceit directed at the court to achieve an illegal goal can be considered a scheme.
- Money Laundering: Transferring proceeds to make them appear legal is a classic scheme.

Please not a federal district court in Washington D.c. recently dismissed a RICO claim, despite the fact that the lleged scheme involved twelve predicate acts . The court notedthat all acts constituted a single scheme , not multiple schemes-namely a fruadlent proposal to steal the plaintiff's business through fraud and misappropriation . in my case there were many years of predicate acts which i think was to maintain * Fountains St LL. The court noted that it is virtually impossible for plaintiffs to state a RICO claim where there is only a single scheme, a single injury and few victims. Although in my case Jaems 's businees was destroyed and he lost * Founta st a commercial building I too lost my home and a second piece of property. So the washington court's decision doe not apply to my case. Right? Please explaing.
It sounds like your situation involves multiple injuries and victims over a prolonged period, which could differentiate it from the dismissed RICO claim. Here are some key points:
- Multiple Victims: Your case involves more than one victim (James and yourself).
- Multiple Injuries: Loss of a business, home, and additional property.
- Time Span: The predicate acts occurred over many years.
Each RICO case is unique, and the applicability depends on specific facts. Consulting a local lawyer might provide more clarity. Would you like to be connected to one?

Victim
Classic Group Inc. was an established business in which James held shares. James was induced to transfer his * shares to Mr. Tiernan under false pretenses, with promises that the shares would be returned. This transfer and subsequent non-return of shares, along with the embezzlement of funds, contributed to the dismantling and destruction of Classic Group Inc. In my filing do i incude Classic Display Inc? Classic Display Inc was james original buiness which he closed volunteerily under embezzlemet and fruad to open the three way partnership. So how would i introduce these companies in the RICO claim?

if the embezzlent mail fruad and other crimes including the most serious the RICO allegedld crim happened in Rhode island but two of the victims live in MA as one do i have a choice to where i filed my case including district court Rhode island or district court MA?
Case Rating: *
You can file a RICO claim in either Rhode Island or Massachusetts, depending on where significant activities of the scheme took place and where the impact was felt. Typically, federal courts have jurisdiction over RICO claims, so you can choose the district court based on where the crimes occurred or where the victims are located.

Embezzlement seems like the sore of my case as our trusted advisor now he or his coconspirator "owns" our buiness and properties. But i thought in order from me to cite embezzlement as a pridicate act the embezzlement must have been against a federal agency. Please clarify if i am wrong.
Case Rating: *
Embezzlement does not need to be against a federal agency to be a predicate act under RICO. Any act of embezzlement that is part of a pattern of racketeering activity can qualify.

my next worry is that I need an attorney . Winning a RICO claims pays for an attorney's services. Is this the same thing as an attorney taking a case on a contingency basis?
Case Rating: *
Winning a RICO claim can result in the defendant paying the attorney's fees, but this is not the same as an attorney taking a case on a contingency basis. In a contingency case, the attorney gets paid only if you win, usually a percentage of the settlement.

And even if the court rejects my RICO claim I still have the opportunity to have the court ajudicate the predicate acts which i list including embezzelemt, conspiracy, extortion, mail fraud, wire fruad individually . this is why its important to raise the predicate acts which a private citizen can seek for civil damages in addition to the RICO claim. Right?

Yes, even if the court rejects your RICO claim, you can still pursue individual civil claims for the predicate acts like embezzlement, conspiracy, extortion, mail fraud, and wire fraud. This can allow you to seek civil damages for each act separately.

Would you place mortgage fraud as mail fraud or embezzlement stemming from the orgination of the crime by my trusted financial advisor in * who knowingly created the scheme involing a promissory note and mortgage.
Case Rating: *
To determine if mortgage fraud should be considered mail fraud or embezzlement:
- Mail Fraud: If the fraudulent scheme involved using the postal service or electronic communications, it could be classified as mail fraud.
- Embezzlement: If the trusted advisor misappropriated funds directly, it may be classified as embezzlement.
Do you have more details on how the promissory note and mortgage were used in the scheme?

My advisor misappropriated funds directly. How does one choose which predicate act to choose when they may be a few to choose from? Does an embezzlement charge have a longer sentence than mail fraud or is one more investigated than the other beween embezzlemt and mail fraud?
Case Rating: *
In your case, both embezzlement and mail fraud can serve as predicate acts under the RICO statute. Here's a brief comparison:
- Embezzlement: Involves misappropriating funds entrusted to someone. Sentences can vary but are often severe due to breach of trust.
- Mail Fraud: Involves using the mail system to execute a fraudulent scheme. It is also heavily investigated and can carry significant penalties.
Choosing the act depends on the specifics of the scheme and the evidence available. Both are serious offenses and can strengthen your RICO claim.
Do you need more specific information about the differences in sentencing or investigation?

James must allege an injury caused by the predicate acts themselves.. the statute prohibits a person who has received income in racketeering from using or investing it in the proscribed manner.Generally the plaintiffs alleged injury stems from the pattern of racketeering and not from the investment of funds by the defendant. In my case James had two companies, Classic display Inc making andshipping displays and Cronan Realty Inc. owning * fountain Street which is a commercial building where the display business operated. Both of those companies have been stolen by Mr. Grieco and Mr. Tiernan . Mr. grieco is a CPA and holds stock in Classic

To answer your question directly:
In your case, it appears that both the predicate acts themselves and the reinvestment of the proceeds from those acts caused harm to James. Here's a breakdown:
- Predicate Acts Harm: Embezzlement, fraud, and conspiracy directly harmed James by stripping him of his businesses and assets.
- Section *(a) Harm: The reinvestment of the illicit proceeds into enterprises like * Fountain Street LLC perpetuated the control and ongoing harm.
Given the complexity and strength of your case, you should definitely include both types of harm in your RICO claim.

Case Rating: *
Under RICO, the transfer of James' shares to Mr. Tiernan could be considered illegal if it was part of a fraudulent scheme. Here’s how this can be framed:
- Fraudulent Transfer: If the shares were transferred under false pretenses, this could be a predicate act.
- Embezzlement and Money Laundering: If the proceeds from this fraudulent transfer were used to further illegal activities, it strengthens the RICO claim.

James servicers were recived or free as mr. grieco and Mr. tiernan threatened him that if he continued to ask for his righful share of the buiness and salary that his family would be hurt. james became a victim o forced labor. However i know that foreced labour ios generally plead fro immigrants coming from another country or sex wokers. So should i still cite foreced labor as a predicate act. Its the truth.

Yes, you can cite forced labor as a predicate act under the RICO statute. While it is often associated with immigrants or sex workers, anyone can be a victim of forced labor, including in situations like James's where threats and coercion are used.

In addition i understand that officers and directors of companies who work for the best interst of the company can not be a meber in an enterprise -in- fact.

Yes, you are correct. Under RICO, an "enterprise" can include any group of individuals associated in fact, even if they are not working in the best interests of the companies they are officers of. This can establish them as part of an enterprise engaged in racketeering activities.

Yes, you can argue that the enterprise's control over * Fountain St LLC allowed them to use its resources for legal services, while James and Karen were left destitute and unable to afford an attorney.

please explain the anza decision ' first defendants did not merely invest in the same entity , Rather, the Anas created a new company , Easton Corp, to purchase the Bronx property for the new national stoare. Second even if Congress did not intend subsection (a)'s prohibition tp reach the use of RICO tainted funds by the RICO violator in its own ongoing operation, the legislative history does not permit the inferences that Congress meant to allow such entities, with impunity, to use funds to branch to new loactions. in my case they used tainted funds to open two new buinesses. Can you please explain to me how the Anas decision applies to my case in legal terms?

could obstruction of justice include knowingly ignoring a court order to commit embezzlent. One year before Mr. Grieco had me sign a note and mortgage by fraud i had a court order that James , other victim in this case, was reposnible for paying the note and mortgage on one of the subject properties. Nonetheless Mr. grieco ignored this court order and in an emergencey had me sign a Note and mortge by Mr. tiernan and his brother en law Richard Fagan stiaing that they not only gave me funds that they did not but that I was responsible for paying them despite the previous court order. Would this be construed as Obstruction of Justice under federal law?
Case Rating: *

Would you like more detailed guidance on this matter?
