18 U.S.C. ?1962(c) ? Elements Checklist
ElementRequirementMet?Documentary Proof
Enterprise?1961(4) ? Any individual, partnership, corporation, or group associated in fact? METSOS Doc #200608310153 and #200928110177 ? identical CEO (Thao Tran), Manager/Agent (Tan Vo), mailing address (20002 Sand Dune Ln). Thao Tran confirmed Phat family member. CheckPeople confirms Hanson Le as Likely Associate.
Interstate CommerceEnterprise must affect interstate commerce? METThao Tran's 32 entities span CA, WA, FL, NY. Wire transfers cross interstate banking. USPS certified mail crosses federal postal system.
Person AssociatedEach defendant must be associated with the enterprise? METPhat Tran (owner) ? Thao Tran (CEO/family) ? Tan Vo (agent) ? Hanson Le (associate) ? Anna Ly (family/DRE) ? Silverstein (retained enterprise counsel 2018?2024)
Conduct EnterpriseDefendant must conduct or participate in enterprise affairs? METEach actor has documented role. Silverstein now confirmed as legal enforcement arm across two Tran family UDs spanning 6 years.
Pattern of RacketeeringAt least 2 predicate acts within 10 years ? ?1961(1) list? METMinimum 6 confirmed predicate acts. Silverstein's 2018 and 2024 Tran family UD representations alone establish the pattern element independently.
ContinuityPattern must be continuous or pose threat of continuity? METPre-tenancy dishwasher fraud (2021) ? wire diversion (Apr 2024) ? check interception (May 2024) ? fraudulent UD ? damage invoice ? Airbnb conversion. Enterprise predates and survives the Gasio tenancy.
Predicate Acts ? 18 U.S.C. ?1961(1)
Predicate Act 1
Mail Fraud ? Cashier's Check Interception
18 U.S.C. ?1341 ? Mail Fraud ? 20 years federal
Cashier's check tendered via USPS Certified Mail (Tracking #9534914882764149935944) during active 3-day cure window. Delivered May 30, 2024 at BHHS 5848 Edinger Ave HB. Signed "H.H." ? Hanson Le. Tran texted Hanson same window confirming check was present. Check never returned or credited. Fraudulent default engineered via mail system.
Predicate Act 2
Wire Fraud ? Rent Diversion to Personal Account
18 U.S.C. ?1343 ? Wire Fraud ? 20 years federal
Lease contract directed all rent via direct deposit to Wells Fargo Account #3312942937 ? Hanson Le personal account, not DRE trust account. Tenant wired $5,000 on 04/19/2024 (Conf. #OW00004382456864). Tran admitted in writing: "I didn't know you paid your rent to the Hanson account." Wire transfer crossed interstate banking network. Multiple months of rent diverted.
Predicate Act 3
Obstruction / Evidence Tampering
PC ?135 Evidence Concealment ? PC ?132 Offering False Evidence ? Rule 3.3 Candor
Hanson Le invoked 5th Amendment to HBPD on May 13, 2024 ? consciousness of guilt. Silverstein's closing argument ("returned by mail") demonstrably false ? USPS tracking proves letter was in transit at time of hearing. Tran's own court filing confirms $5,000/month rent, invalidating inflated lease claims presented at trial.
Predicate Act 4
Extortion / Fraudulent Eviction Scheme
PC ?518 Extortion ? PC ?470 Forgery ? CC ?1940.2 Tenant Harassment
Tran manufactured a rent default that did not legally exist ? cashier's check was tendered and available during cure window. Proceeded with UD filing knowing payment had been made. Rosiak withdrew 3 days before trial (Jan 10, 2025, trial set Jan 13) abandoning defendant. Fraudulent $20,980 damage invoice submitted by Anna Ly from Tran's dental office ? pre-dated, from family entity LY Construction.
Predicate Act 5
Conversion of Personal Property
PC ?487 Grand Theft ? PC ?496 Receiving Stolen Property ? CC ?1940.2
Vui (Tran associate) entered the property in June 2024 during active tenancy and removed tenant's bunk bed frame. This occurred during the period when Airbnb conversion was being prepared. Unlawful entry and taking of personal property during active lease term. Establishes financial motive predating eviction ? Airbnb conversion was planned before UD was filed.
Predicate Act 6
Security Deposit Fraud
CC ?1950.5 Security Deposit ? PC ?532 False Pretenses ? 18 U.S.C. ?1341
Tran deposited security deposit check on the 28th, claims he mailed it back around the 2nd ? a 4-5 day gap. Michael never received or cashed it ? check still sealed, preserved for forensic print analysis. Forced to pay second time under written protest. Both Silverstein and Tran signed acknowledging no prior repayment had occurred. Silverstein's last trial question ("did you cash the check?") ? the sealed check is the direct answer.
