"MSJ asset acquisition details are imminent!"
Nah.
Now it's more than two weeks since that fake PR announcing the "signaturing" of a non-existent agreement was issued, I think we all know it was just another fraud perpetuated by the racketeers behind the SRGE criminal conspiracy.
Even the 'phone number was wrong (deliberately, of course), and the email is a one use address designed especially for the purpose of fooling the reader.
SRGE victims may wish to know that private individuals can bring RICO suits, and Smid and his partners qualify for RICO prosecution on several grounds:
"Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count. In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity." RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit ; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).....
Under the law, the meaning of racketeering activity is set out at 18 U.S.C. § 1961. As currently amended it includes:
Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft , embezzlement, fraud , dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice , slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering , commission of murder-for-hire, and several other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
Embezzlement of union funds;
Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud ;
Drug trafficking; long-term and elaborate drug networks can also be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute;
Criminal copyright infringement;
Money laundering and related offenses;
Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
Acts of terrorism."
