Yazan Al-Madani v. United States
Question One: Whether under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO ") an entity can be both an "enterprise " and a "victim " - when it profited from the alleged fraudulent act.
Question Two: Whether an unelected physician, with no governmental authority whatsoever, can qualify as a "public official " under the Hobbs Act; and if so, whether reducing the number of days an employee is required to work, but not their hours, constitutes an "official act".
Question Three: Whether a loss-calculation error at sentencing should be considered harmless when the error deprives the defendant from seeking meaningful appellate review.
Question Four: Whether the United States was required to prove an unauthorized intent to defraud in counts of the Indictment that did not contain a specific mens rea element.
