From the author: This Article considers the application of the "operation or management" test under [section] 1962(c) of RICO, enunciated by the Supreme Court in Reves v. Ernst & Young, to RICO conspiracy. Such an application best accords with the text and legislative intent of the RICO statute, and with fundamental principles of conspiracy law. Furthermore, the application of the Reves test to RICO conspiracy is appropriate regardless of the Supreme Court's expansive interpretation of RICO conspiracy in Salinas v. United States, because this extension represents an essential means of giving content to RICO conspiracy and ensuring that it is not reduced to a mere associational offense.
