    Neither you nor the article link that indictment, but the article claims money laundering is based on $11 reimbursement for glue improperly transferred. Yep. RICO was designed to seize profits from crime bosses and drug traffickers, so I’m sure it’s appropriate to pile on to protesters fr $11 improperly transferred

      You misunderstand RICO. Such statutes are meant to make people who conspire to commit a crime equally prosecutable even if not all of them personally committed the crime.
