The podcast episodes discuss how RICO laws have been used to combat organized crime, including the Hells Angels, Rock Machine, and other criminal organizations.

In the episodes, RICO laws are mentioned as a powerful legal tool that has been effective in prosecuting high-ranking members of criminal organizations, often by leveraging information from criminal informants. For example, the episode 'The Deadliest Biker War in History: Hells Angels vs Rock Machine' discusses how the potential use of RICO laws against the Hells Angels and their allies, and the episode 'Tokyo Joe' highlights how information from a key informant was pivotal in allowing successful RICO-based prosecutions in the 1980s.

The episodes also touch on the ethical dilemmas and challenges associated with the use of RICO laws, such as the controversy around witness flipping and the perceived overreach of the government in pursuing organized crime cases.
