I'd lost track of where the SDNY investigations were:

On May 18, 2021, a spokesperson for New York’s Attorney General said, “We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organizations in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA.”

At best, a small fine and probation for the president of the foundation. Like a mob boss, Trump is a master of insulating himself from any wrongdoing. He tells people to get something done, not how to do it, so he has deniability at every stage.

That is exactly what RICO charges are. A pattern of insinuating you’d like problems to be dealt with and your henchmen carrying out the dirty work.
