BALTIMORE, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ In an opinion issued on March 31, 2021, United States District Court Judge George L. Russell, III denied a motion to dismiss fraud and racketeering claims in a lawsuit filed by Tessemae s LLC against Michael McDevitt, DC-based Tandem Growth, and others. Tessemae s filed the lawsuit in June 2020 alleging that McDevitt violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) when he attempted to fraudulently acquire control of Tessemae s.
In the opinion, the court wrote that Tessemae s plausibly and with sufficient particularity alleged that McDevitt engaged in multiple predicate acts of wire fraud and alleged with sufficient particularity that McDevitt and Tandem Growth became involved in the management of the company, manipulated its affairs, and caused it to become involved in transactions it otherwise would not have.

At 5am on a chilly Tuesday morning last month, 1,600 police officers and balaclava-wearing special forces, bristling with arms and battering rams, were ordered into action around the Belgian port city of Antwerp.
More than 200 addresses were raided in what was the largest police operation ever conducted in the country and potentially one of the most significant moves yet against the increasingly powerful narco-gangs of western Europe.
There are hopes that Operation Sky will herald the downfall of a generation of local bosses, although the Belgian and Dutch “godfathers” largely now hide out in Dubai and Turkey, hoping to be out of reach of the authorities.
