JJE02 Destroy The Corrupt/04, 10

Inhabitants called Show Low by it's native name, Rashveil, a planet that was won on a bet of who could show the lowest card. It had been rejuvenated from its decay and became a thriving recreational planet, nearly the entirety of its economy was based on gambling. Humanoids, with short legs and long arms. Jungle type, humid. The hovercraft picked up speed along a wide road, then turned off and followed a causeway filled with water. It slowed to cross a swampy area covered by brush and heavy tree roots. It sped up over the open water as it raced toward a compound built on a rise in the middle of the swamp. This represented the more civilized parts of the planet. The other parts of the planet are less hospitable.

Not that that is illegal, but that’s what we’re looking for. They are called ‘predicate crimes.’ Without them, there is no racketeering. Without enterprise involvement, there is no racketeering. This could be a difficult case to adjudicate.
