Eve does no contain sports nor gambling, so does the RICO apply to Eve exactly?

CCP does not offer gambling of any kind, other plays might offer it, but CCP could end that very easily if that was an issue that was brought up. Please provide proof how RICO effects CCP who is in another country.

I really hope RICO isn't some screwed up American Act, because I really hate those organizations....

** Edit I thought RICO was an Organization like RIAA.
