QUESTION 1

Thank goodness! The day is almost over at Gimme & Aye... or so you thought. You have been interning at the Law Offices of Gimme and Aye for the summer, and you have been exposed to many legal issues. The hours have been long, but rewarding.

As you daydream about your upcoming weekend, Bob busts into the office. Bob's reputation precedes him. He has a track record of getting himself into trouble.

Jim, the boss, flags you over.

Jim: "I know Bob got himself into trouble again. Take his statement, ask questions as you need, then come back to me for further instructions."

You sit with Bob to take his statement.

You: "Hello Bob, I am here to take your statement."

Bob: "Hi there, I may have gotten myself into trouble. I am out on bail. I came straight here as soon as I could."

You: "Do you know why you were arrested?"

Bob: "They said something about a RICO violation. Then they brought a few other things that I had done, andyadayada,blabla"

You: "Well why don't you take it from the top, so that we can analyze this better?"

Bob: "Okay, Here is goes. I worked at the Bait shop for about a year and half. Everything was going well in the beginning. I handled the financing, and other money stuff, while the other employees handled the other customer-facing parts of the business. "

"Then one day, I found out how much the business owner was making. Then I compared it to how much I was making. It made my blood boil. So, I starting to move the money around to that I could take a little extra for myself. The business owner never found out until recently."

"Then, the business owner, went and opened another store across town. He then sold to me the original store. So, I thought to myself, 'what am I going do with this store? I would rather just have some money.' And that is when it hit me. If there was 'an accident', then I could just collect on the insurance money. So I struck a match, dropped it, and let the place burn to ground."

"I was okay with what I did, but I thought now I have the money that I took when I handled financing, and the insurance payout - I am going to have to do something with this money to make it legit. So, I invested it in a coffee shop that was one town over."

"I am not sure how the law caught up with me, but they did, and they keep talking out RICO. I don't have much else to tell you."

You: "Okay think that is all that I need to get started. Thank you."

Bob leaves, and you report back to Jim.

Jim: "At first glance, this is a RICO violation. For your report I will need the following:"

(Answer the following question using fact pattern above and the information found in Chapter 7)

1. There are at least two crimes described in the above fact pattern (story). Name two of those crimes and define each.
