Question about Citizen’s United and RICO
Are there any legal protections that the Citizen’s United ruling laid out that can be used as a defense in a RICO case?
Like, if an entire corporate entity is found to be overall negligent, who is accountable? The corporate entity can’t actually be reprimanded in any real capacity other than financial restrictions…then they file bankruptcy, sell for a profit, and the damage they caused goes unaccounted for. So how would someone go about defining accountability and actually prosecuting it when you have RICO on the offense and CU defending personal accountability? Or are we supposed to just let these unethical businesses keep leap-frogging away as though they’re fine art? Twitter, for example. Bought at a hyper-inflated projection for wealth-leverage, changed the name, no laymen notice the financial undertones.
I may be totally off base and investigating something with a correlation that I made up, but I’ve been tormented with a feeling that these two entities are correlated into a larger context…just can’t put my finger on why or how yet.
Any input would be greatly appreciated
