How can I cite this as a violation of a RICO predicate act I dont think secuirtiers fraud is a RICO predicaye act.. is it moreso bankfraud. *. Mortgage Fraud:
- It is illegal to use self directed IRA funds as a custodian of Pensco Trust Company for an illegal purpose such as mortgage fraud. Mr Tiernan used money from his self directed IRA to buy James Cronan’ debt from Bristol County Savings Bank in default and had Ms Merritt sign a note and mortgage as the borrower. This constitutes mortgage fraud.
To address your situation, here are some general points to consider regarding RICO predicate acts and mortgage fraud:
- RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) can apply to various criminal activities, including bank fraud and mortgage fraud.
- Securities fraud is indeed a RICO predicate act.
- Mortgage fraud involves using false information or deceit to obtain a mortgage loan or to profit from a mortgage transaction.
For citing violations:
- Focus on * U.S.C. § * (Bank Fraud) and * U.S.C. § * (Fraud by Wire) as potential RICO predicate acts.
- Highlight the use of funds from the self-directed IRA for fraudulent purposes.

Timeline of Fraudulent Activities and Financial Mismanagement Involving Ralph Grieco and James Tiernan (*-Present)
*. *: In the afternoon, Ralph Grieco called Ms. Merritt at * Brayton Woods, Rehoboth, offering help with her properties. He assured her that her financial agreement with James Cronan was in her best interest. Grieco asked, "Do you know what properties you want, Karen?" Merritt replied, "Yes, I'd like the Harwich port property to be put in the kids' name." Grieco responded, "That's good, and I'm sure it will go up in value. Call me anytime with more questions or if you need help."
*. *:
- First Meeting:
- Date: Early *
- Location: Rhode Island office of Ralph Grieco
- Participants: Ralph Grieco and Ms. Merritt
- Details: Ms. Merritt expressed her distress about the property at * Riverside Ave., Somerset, MA being up for sale, saying, "It's not fair that I see a for sale sign on it. Is it?" Grieco responded, "No, it's a marital asset. I will talk with Mike." (He never did.)
- Second Meeting:
- Date: Mid-*
- Location: Rhode Island office of Ralph Grieco
- Participants: Ralph Grieco, Ms. Merritt, and her deceased father, Bruce Merritt
- Details: Ms. Merritt was confused about why her second property, her childhood home, which was virtually free and clear and where her father acted as a bank with a small loan under it, was involved. Grieco assured them, "I am taking good care of Karen to stop Bristol County from foreclosing on her." Ms. Merritt trusted Grieco with her asset distribution.
- Omitted Information: Grieco did not inform her that although the divorce court ordered James Cronan to pay the mortgage, he was now making Ms. Merritt responsible for it. Grieco never reviewed any financial documents, despite Ms. Merritt having over $*,* in equity and no income to pay the mortgage.
- Promissory Note and Mortgage:
- Date: September *, *
- Details: Ralph Grieco, James Tiernan, and Richard Fagan, as custodian of Pensco Trust Company, had Classic Group Inc. promise to pay James Tiernan a $*,* promissory note and mortgage given to Karen Merritt and James Cronan. There was a closing at the office of Attorney Bourgue, which Grieco attended. Ms. Merritt expressed concern about being responsible for property taxes and loudly asked Mr. Cronan to write a document stating she was not responsible for taxes. Grieco instructed Mr. Bourgue to "write it up."
- Critical Omission: Grieco omitted that he was making Ms. Merritt responsible for the mortgage. Ms. Merritt believed she was signing permission papers for the new business formed by Mr. Cronan and Grieco to pay for it.
- Fraudulent Transaction: Grieco, Tiernan, and Fagan used their IRAs to pay the $*,* debt to Bristol County Savings Bank and had Ms. Merritt sign a note as a borrower, claiming they gave her the funds, in violation of securities fraud. * U.S.C. § *(*).
- Invoice: Grieco charged a $*,* invoice, which he financed into an *% interest rate for services that Ms. Merritt or Mr. Cronan never received.
