Appellants allege causes of action under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1962(c) and (d). “A
plaintiff who brings suit under 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c) must prove that the defendant
engaged in (1) conduct (2) of an enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering
activity.” Handeen v. Lemaire, 112 F.3d 1339, 1347 (8th Cir. 1997). Under
§ 1962(d), conspiracy to violate § 1962(c) is also prohibited. “Racketeering activity”
is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1) as a list of predicate acts, including certain state law
crimes, conduct that is indictable under various federal provisions, and numerous
other offenses. On appeal, Appellants have narrowed the alleged RICO predicate acts
to several patterns of conduct, which we address in turn.
