You don't think this is a crime?

I mean, IANAL but I'm pretty sure taking in income while posing as someone else must constitute a crime.

If not, lesson learned I guess. (Don't know unless you talk to a lawyer or try to report it.) But if it is a crime, then yes, it's across state and national boundaries, so who else would have jurisdiction but federal police?

I was talking about organized crime.

If you break into a car while your buddy keeps watch, have you created a criminal enterprise worthy of being compared to mafias and terrorist groups? If so, what is meaningful about the concept of organized crime as it is currently used and accepted?

Are you aware that there are non-federal police that have the purview of arresting little mom and pop criminal enterprises? Not everything is an automatic RICO case.

> If you break into a car while your buddy keeps watch

But we are talking about a case where someone has created a company that they are using to perform this fraud. If you found a company where you hire individuals to watch each other while they break into cars, yes, I think that would be considered organized crime.
