As noted earlier, all RICO predicate offenses are by definition money laundering predicate
offenses under Sections 1956 and 1957.270 The crimes that suggest the possibility of a RICO
offense also suggest the possibility of money laundering. In some money laundering cases,
although there is no separate RICO violation, prosecution is possible by virtue of the RICO
shared predicate offense list.271 In a number of other cases, either money laundering is one of
several predicate offenses of a larger RICO enterprise272 or the RICO enterprise is devoted
primarily to money laundering.273
