How would selling fire insurance or an electric hookup match my definition? For fire insurance to be racketeering the ones selling the insurance have to be the ones starting the fires. For PG&E... IDK they'd have to have invented work (J/s)? From the Wikipedia:
> Originally and often still specifically, racketeering may refer to an organized criminal act in which the perpetrators offer a service that will not be put into effect, offer a service to solve a nonexistent problem, or offer a service that solves a problem that would not exist without the racket.
It's unlikely (IMO) that GGP meant that they thought it would literally meet the legal definition of racketeering in a court room, more that the situation with email can be described in terms of the textbook definition.
