§ 5:12-126.

a. It shall be unlawful for any person who has received any income derived, directly

or indirectly, from a pattern of racketeering activity or through collection of an

unlawful debt in which such person has participated as a principal within the meaning

of N.J.S.2A:85-14 1 to use or invest, directly or indirectly, any part of such income, or the proceeds

of such income, in acquisition of any interest in, or the establishment or operation

of, any enterprise which is engaged in or the activities of which affect casino gaming

operations or ancillary industries which do business with any casino licensee. A purchase of securities on the open market for purposes of investment, and without

the intention of controlling or participating in the control of the issuer or of assisting

another to do so, shall not be unlawful under this subsection, provided that the sum

total of the securities of the issuer held by the purchaser, the members of his family,

and his or their accomplices in any pattern of racketeering activity or in the collection

of an unlawful debt does not amount in the aggregate to one percent of the outstanding

securities of any one class, or does not, either in law or in fact, empower the holders

thereof to elect one or more directors of the issuer. b. It shall be unlawful for any person through a pattern of racketeering activity

or through collection of an unlawful debt to acquire or maintain, directly or indirectly,

any interest in or control of any enterprise which is engaged in, or the activities

of which affect, casino gaming operations or ancillary industries which do business

with any casino licensee. c. It shall be unlawful for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise

engaged in, or the activities of which affect, casino gaming operations or ancillary

industries which do business with any casino licensee, to conduct or participate,

directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprise's affairs through a pattern

of racketeering activity or collection of unlawful debt. d. It shall be unlawful for any person to conspire to violate any of the provisions

of subsection a., b., or c. of this section. e. Any person who violates any provision of this section shall be fined not more than $100,000 or imprisoned not more than twenty years or both and shall forfeit to the State (1)

any interest he has acquired or maintained in violation of this section and (2) any

interest in, security of, claim against, or property or contractual right of any kind

affording a source of influence over any enterprise which he has established, operated,

controlled, conducted, or participated in the conduct of, in violation of this section. f. In any action brought by the Attorney General under this section, the Superior

Court shall have jurisdiction to enter such restraining orders or prohibitions, or

to take such other actions, including, but not limited to, the acceptance of satisfactory

performance bonds, in connection with any property or other interest subject to forfeiture

under this section, as it shall deem proper. g. Upon conviction of a person under this section, the court shall authorize the Attorney

General to seize all property or other interest declared forfeited under this section

upon such terms and conditions as the court shall deem proper. If a property right or other interest is not exercisable or transferable for value

by the State, it shall expire and shall not revert to the convicted person. 1
