Fist, tasting is a legal business so I don't know how you come with RICO...

Not so fast. It may not have been declared illegal legislatively. But, I think the essense of what Webwork was getting at is whether the way domain tasting or kiting operates is a fradulent practice? That requires no legislation. Whether it is a fraudulent practice would depend on many elements of proof.

Presumably, the victims would be Google's advertisers who would have to establish that they were damaged by the practice.
