money laundering & racketeering (rico)
Money Laundering: The new "darling of the prosecutor's nursery".
Money laundering and racketeering are the charges du jour for prosecutors seeking to initiate a grand jury investigation - sometimes when other substantive charges may not be provable.
RICO
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was developed specifically to address the activities of the Mafia and other organized criminal organizations or enterprises. It has since been redefined into a broad tool for law enforcement against organizations, including legitimate businesses.

A seemingly innocent business or personal transaction can potentially result in serious felony criminal charges, and the possible loss of your reputation, home and business, not to mention the possibility of an extended stay in federal prison and substantial fines.
