Busby v. Crown Supply, Inc. (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit)Busby v. Crown Supply, Inc., 896 F2d. 833 (4th Cir. 1990) (en banc). Mr. Krebs argued the appeal and drafted the Brief of Appelant. The Fourth Circuit held, in a civil RICO claim under 18 U.S.C. § 1962(a) , that the plantiff's injury need not derive solely from the use of the investment funds, but may also arise from the fraudulent activity, itself. The Court also, sua sponte, sitting en banc, reversed a previous panel holding and found that, in a section 1962(a) claim, the racketeering enterprise and defendant may be the same entity. |
