Typically thats the mob but it could be other stuff, too. In 2011, a rico lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of new york about an alleged financial scream that involved a whole bunch of ukrainians and russians and one guy who ended up running the donald trump for President Campaign in 2016 and he denied having anything to do with it.
