Rico Lawsuit Seeks Acorn Dissolution - HUMAN EVENTS

AWWWWWW

sorry guys that is a civil case not a criminal case.

Did the people win the case BTW?



Late yesterday I reached Maurice Thompson, Director of the Buckeye Institute’s 1851 Center for Constitutional Law for a phone interview. Thompson said, “Primarily this action is about fraud through the voter registration process. That registration process is over, so the injunctive window has already closed. This is a normal civil action.”

WRONGO!

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (18 U.S.C. § 1961), a law that increases the severity of penalties for crimes performed in conjunction with organized crime. The law states that any person or group who commits any two out of a list of 35 crimes (known as racketeering activity in the U.S. Code) within a decade and can be determined to have committed them with similar results or similar intentions can be charged with racketeering.

The maximum penalties for racketeering include a fine of up to $25,000 and up to 20 years in prison in addition to the forfeiture of all business interests and gains gleaned from the criminal activity. In addition, the case can be re-tried in civil court; plaintiffs are allowed to sue for triple damages. The law covers crimes such as bribery, extortion, money laundering, counterfeiting, gambling, murder, arson, robbery, kidnapping, harboring certain illegal aliens, obstruction of justice, slavery and others.
In order to prosecute a RICO case, investigators need to establish evidence of the existence of a criminal organization. U.S. Attorneys General who pursue RICO charges can opt to seek an injunction or restraining order before trial that prevents the assets in question from being transferred and requires the defendant to put up a performance bond. This usually serves to push the defendant to plead guilty to the charges before an indictment (a formal accusation against the defendant).

RICO is not civil. It's criminal.
Federal Crimes – RICO, & Racketeering Cases and Definition

And regardless they had to dissolve in Ohio.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


There is also a provision for private parties to sue. A "person damaged in his business or property" can sue one or more "racketeers." The plaintiff must prove the existence of a "criminal enterprise." The defendant(s) are not the enterprise; in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not one and the same. There must be one of four specified relationships between the defendant(s) and the enterprise. A civil RICO action, like many lawsuits based on federal law, can be filed in state or federal court.[5]

So Nevada is going to continue its prosecution of Acorn even knowing it's a losing proposition? Way to blow money by a state that's already perched on the edge of bankruptcy.

And oh, yeah, that Blackwell-Ohio controversy? Watch it and weep, TeePee. Blackwell should be in jail.

Um, no it's called having a life.

You didn't know there had been a RICO suit, I didn't know there was a difference between State and Federal RICO suits.

However, I don't see the difference in the long run, other than your desperation to snatch at any straw you can.

Acorn was forced to surrender their license to operation in Ohio.

The only reason to do that is if they know they were involved in criminal dealings.

Well when that transpires get back to me. Acorn has already been forced to cease operations in Ohio and you think it will be different in Nevada?

Let me know if that happens.

As for Ken Blackwell save it. Liberals can smear all they want. He is the one that withstood Acorns attempt to steal the vote in 2004.

That's why liberals hate him.

They even tried to get it on the ballot to change voting laws in 2005. It went down to a HUGE DEFEAT.

Now voter ID is the law and Acorn has folded up it's phony registration shop, and it IS because of Ken Blackwell and the RICO suit.

Deal with it.

A rico suit can be civil.

Now want to admitt a civil case is all that you showed?

BTW who won the case?
