Add RICO, racketeering and extortion, It takes less than 1 minute to be guilty of a crime, so Schwantz and his gang could add another 20 years. Quinn, Madigan, Alvarez, the crime commission and a bunch others are equally culpable.
Reid Ottesen, village manager orchestrated these crimes and many more for many years. I would bet the manager before him, had his hand in the till. Maybe the smartest council man, was the one that moved out of state. But still, he bought a house from the same guy that gave Mullins countless thousands of $, that gave others countless of thousands of $. Commander King, I'm sure got his take. In organized crime, all the main players have to get a cut, piece of the pie, IT's there, in more ways than one.
The crime of wire fraud is codified at 18 U.S.C. § 1343, and reads as follows:
Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_fraud

Why would Schwantz want to be apart of this? is beyond me. Maybe he always wanted to be a king pin of organized crime? Maybe he wants to see if he can get away with crimes, like Mullins did and the city council have done.
Some body ask commander King, what his cop was doing at a atm at 3:30 at a Saturday morning? Do we need the Arlington Hts police department to investigate? What was the $ amount of that transaction?
When does Schwantz get his off shore bank account?
