Soon after her office opened up the investigation into potential illegal interference in the 2020 election in Georgia, Willis tapped John Floyd, who is viewed as one of the nation's leading authorities on RICO and literally wrote the book on Georgia's racketeering laws. Floyd was appointed as a special assistant district attorney to help with any racketeering cases her office would pursue.

"If I were charged with a RICO violation, the last person I'd want to see helping the prosecutor, maybe on the planet, is John Floyd," Eric Segall, the Kathy & Lawrence Ashe Professor of Law at Georgia State University, told Salon. Floyd, Segall continued, could be considered "kind of the Michael Jordan of RICO."

Throughout Floyd's legal career, he has specialized in pursuing public corruption and gang crime.

In 2007, Floyd was among the first lawyers to file suit against the pharmaceutical firm Allergan for promoting its widely used injectable drug Botox for unauthorized purposes, according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution. That eventually resulted in the company admitting guilt and disbursing a settlement of $600 million.
