does the Sandpiper case even make sense? For some reason it doesn't seem like it would be as huge of a lawsuit in real life as they're making it out to be

nah, it's pretty realistic. lawsuits like that happen all the time.

well it's not a coincidence/cameo-type thing like yours, but...

Pretty sure that Saul will order a hit on someone at some point.

In BrBa Saul has the number of a few hitmen, provided by Mike.

I don't think it'd be a very Mike-y thing to just hand out Hitmen's info to Saul 'who knows you might need it someday!'. If he gave them to him, it's probably because he needed one.

but I'm confused about the RICO part...what made that case big was Jimmy finding out that they shipped the needles from state to state. But that wasn't the illegal part, what was illegal was the systematic overcharging of the clients.

The needles were proof that Sandpiper was knowingly conducting illegal interstate commerce as part of overcharging their clients. That's how Chuck turned it from a simple elder abuse suit to a RICO case.

Couldn't Sandpiper's lawyers argue that the insterstate commerce itself wasn't illegal?

>>67755883
IIRC it had to do with the markups of the needles. The needles could be purchased out-of-state, but they could only be sold either at cost or at a slight markup without violating interstate commerce laws. Sandpiper was marking up the cost of the needles to the point where it violated the law, and there was enough proof to show they were knowingly complicit.

Except Sandpiper isn't in Albuquerque.

oh okay, that makes sense

But the aspect of the show that actually bothers me is the whole "Slippin Jimmy" thing, those scam scenes are cringeworthy.
