RICO Statutes

[KCGirl]

It seems to me that these junk debt collectors could be in violation of the federal RICO statute? Yes or no? If so, why aren't they charged with these infractions of the law? Their conduct is harmful and injurious just as were members of the Mafia who were the "inspiration" for Rico enactment. Have any of these abusive debt collectors ever been prosecuted under RICO?

KC, if the government prosecuted the scavenger debt scammers, they'd have to prosecute themselves, too!!!

The IRS is one of the worst predators, along with Sallie Mae, Freddie Mac, VA Home Loans, many state agencies, ALL OF THE DEVILISH parking authority scammers, etc...

Good idea, but the devil never burns his own!


BTW, don't get me started on Social Security. That's the BIGGEST PONZI scheme in the history of the planet. Yet, the government runs it, so its okay. SMDH....

okay, I won't get you started on social security. But (w/o want to do what I said I wouldn't) it seems like it might be solvent if it hadn't been for the sticky fingers of politicians who "borrowed" from it. Only they borrowed just like that poor guy whose stepfather "borrowed" from him.

How did you survive army life with your innate distrust of our government or maybe that is part of why?

Either way, yes, it's a protection racket. You see, there is another mob-oriented activity the government takes part in. If you are a player and get "in" you'll be safe. For the little guy who can't or won't get in? I wouldn't put busted knee caps past them actually.

The higher up you are the more protection you got, ain't that so cool?
