RICO is quite dicey--the main charges in these indictments are 18 USC §1030 charges, which do not qualify as predicate acts for RICO charges. But the 18 USC §1956 charge (i.e., money laundering) does qualify, although the fact that there's only one count in these indictments means it's going to be harder to describe the necessary pattern for RICO. If it does, then I believe the other elements of 18 USC §1962(c) could be straightforwardly shown. (In particular, the defendant and the enterprise are clearly different).
But IANAL, and the details here can be incredibly convoluted, so make of that what you will.
