In a recent settlement conference for a RICO case I am prosecuting, one of the defense counsel was commenting about how the case is "just a business dispute," not a RICO case. Of course, he was downplaying the strength of the RICO case. But he surprised me when he said how no one understands RICO, including the court. It was obvious that he did not read any of my columns discussing RICO. See Civil RICO and Proximate Cause: A Tool for Defendants and Challenge for Plaintiffs; The Forgotten and Often Misunderstood Sections of RICO; and How RICO Plays a Role in the World of Harvey Weinstein and #MeToo. Contrary to counsel's comments, the reach of RICO is expanding, not contracting, especially in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
