Organized crime is, one way or another, funded by drugs or money.
The money is obtained by various ill-gotten means, including
insurance fraud.
The RICO statutes are being used more and more to prosecute groups
of cooperating criminals.
Some big money scams are so intricate that they take many people,
operating as a single unit, to pull them off.
Consider staged automobile accidents. There are attorneys, medical
doctors, chiropractors, body shops, drivers, passengers, people who
are adept at giving statements, and others.
Or think about counterfeit check rings.
Or gangs that specialize in stolen credit cards.
Organized crime cartels steal YOUR money.
Get angry, America. Fight back.
