Description
The principal question presented by this appeal is whether torts, breaches of contract, and state law crimes--which are not enumerated in the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), 18 U.S.C.S 1961(1) --can be predicate acts of racketeering upon which a plaintiff can base a civil RICO claim under 18 U.S.C. S 1964(c). We would have thought the answer to this question obvious, but, as evidenced by the case at bar, the question begs for definitive resolution. Accordingly, we take this opportunity to make clear that a plaintiff in a civil RICO action cannot rely on a breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, or the Pennsylvania state law crime of theft by deception as predicate acts of racketeering activity under the federal RICO statute.
