The RICO laws permit private citizens suing other private citizens where it can be demonstrated there was a conspiracy.
If the conspiracy is for barratry, and this can be demonstrated, then the case should be able to move forward.
RICO means suing directly the conspirators, so there is no option for any sort of organizational protections or "corporate veil" meaning all of the personal assets will be up for grabs.
I suspect this would send a lot of fear into the conspirators because a case like the one linked here will likely draw more sympathy than the plight of a handicapped person being blocked from accessing some more common venue (grocery store, hospital, etc.). This is very important because as a lawyer-acquaintance would put it, the verdict is ultimately "what 12 idiots decide."
