I heard they were RICO charges, which would mean much longer prison sentencing.

RICO threats are sometimes used to induce a defendant to take a plea. While this case would meet the technical requirements of a RICO prosecution those types of cases are more difficult and prove to be expensive. If you are looking at 100-200 million in asset seizures then RICO might make sense. Don’t think VIck has that kind of dough...But his house is bye-bye.

Yah, that makes sense. As I say, no matter what deal he gets, SOME jail time should be involved.
