Think of racketeering as “being involved in organized crime”. Examples would be the mob or a drug cartel. Racketeering simply means you are involved in or supporting the crimes committed by the group. For instance, you might be an accountant for a drug cartel. While you are not physically out on the street selling drugs or killing people, you are there to support the guys in the organization who are doing that. So you held responsible for aiding the group commit crimes.
