Question:: Cheryl is a bank teller. She figures out a way to steal $99.99 per day in cash without getting caught. She takes the money daily for eight months and invests it in a catering business she is starting with Floyd, another teller. When Floyd learns what she is doing, he tries it, but is caught in his first attempt. He and Cheryl are both prosecuted. (a) Both are guilty only of larceny. (b) Both are guilty of larceny and violating RICO. (c) Both are guilty of embezzlement; Cheryl is also guilty of violating RICO. (d) Both are guilty of embezzlement and violating RICO. (e) Both are guilty of larceny and violating RICO. Strategy:: You need to know the difference between larceny and embezzlement. What is it? Once you have that figured out, focus on RICO. The government must prove two things: First, that the defendant committed crimes more than once-how many times? Second, that the defendant used the criminal proceeds for a specific purpose- what?
