MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
JAMES E. BOASBERG, District Judge.
Plaintiffs are two entities and two individuals who allege that Defendants Mark Lezell and Isam Ghosh defrauded them out of different investments. They have brought this suit under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and have also alleged several common-law causes of action. Defendant Lezell has now moved to dismiss, arguing that the RICO claim is insufficiently pled and that one Plaintiff and two other counts should also be dismissed. The Court agrees with all but the RICO argument.
