5. NY AG / RICO will be best opportunity to convict ....

Apr 2017

All the money runs thru NY at some point....

NY State RICO conviction can only be pardoned by NY Governor.....

& every shred of evidence accumulated by Feds can be utilized
as well as all of the existing evidence from any prior NY investigations/indictments/etc
which can be established as part of an ongoing pattern of activity related to the people/actions under investigation now.
You know.....
Money laundering using high end real estate transactions....

or using shell companies to hide ones engagement in business activities with sanctioned entities...

Or bribing government officials

Or stealing / possession of stolen goods/ sale /purchase of stolen goods
(think of "emails" as goods and hacking as simultaneously breaking & entering& stealing...and public distribution as selling....,)

In this situation, A Lil' RICO case is more powerful than a federal RICO one ....
