MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
TROUTMAN, District Judge.
Asserting that defendants’ conduct for almost a decade amounts to a violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq., (RICO), plaintiffs commenced this civil action seeking treble damages for their injuries. Defendants, moving to dismiss, argue that the complaint fails to properly state a RICO claim, that mere allegations of “fraud” and “conspiracy” impermissibly lack factual specificity and that venue is not properly laid in this district. We grant defendants’ motions pro tanto.
