299. Under 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1), violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1957 constitute a predicate
act of racketeering activity. One who “knowingly engages ... in a monetary transaction in
criminally derived property” violates 18 U.S.C. § 1957 if that property is “of a value greater than
$10,000 [and] derived from specified unlawful activity.”
290. This statute defines “criminally derived property” as property that constitutes
“proceeds obtained from a criminal offense”; it further defines “specified unlawful activity” as
the same unlawful activity defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1956, including acts constituting racketeering
activity under 18 U.S.C. § [961(1).
291, The money that the Count I Defendants derived through the loan sharking and
kickback scheme and fraudulent dealings were taken at the expense, and to the detriment of,
Plaintiff and its affiliates.

other illicit activities, the Count 1 Defendants committed numerous criminal offenses constituting
racketeering activity as detailed herein, which also constitute “specified unlawful activity” under
18 U.S.C. § 1957.
293. Through this conduct, the Count I Defendants derived proceeds as the
perpetrators and beneficiaries of the “specified unlawful activity” from which the funds were
derived, and they knew that the money was the product of such activity.
294, By depositing these funds in at least one bank account held by an interstate
financial institution, the Count I Defendants engaged in monetary transactions as defined by 18
U.S.C. §1957(H)(1). When the Count I Defendants engaged in any subsequent withdrawal,
transfer, or exchange of these funds, they engaged in further monetary transactions, as defined by
18 U.S.C. §1957(1).
295. For the foregoing reasons, the Count I Defendants repeatedly violated 18
US.C. §1957, engaging in further racketeering activity under 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1).

296. Plaintiffs incorporate all preceding paragraphs by reference.
297. This count is against all the Enterprise Corporation and Member Defendants

298. Racketeering activity is further defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1) to include
violations of the “Travel Act,” 18 U.S.C. § 1952, which criminalizes the use of “interstate
facilities” to “(1) distribute the proceeds of any unlawful activity; or . . . (3) otherwise promote,
manage, establish, carry on, or facilitate the promotion, management, establishment, or carrying
on, of any unlawful activity.”
299. On information and belief, at all times material to this action, each Defendant was
the agent, partner, alter ego, subsidiary, and/or co-conspirator of and with the other Defendants,
and the acts of each were in the scope of that relationship. On information and belief, each
Defendant knowingly and intentionally agreed with the other to carry out the acts alleged in this
Complaint. On information and belief, in doing the acts and failing to act as alleged in this
Complaint, each Defendant acted with the knowledge, permission, and consent of the other, and
each Defendant aided and abetted the other.
300. The Travel Act defines “unlawful activity” to include “extortion, bribery, or arson
in violation of laws of the State in which committed or of the United States” as well as acts of
money laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957.
301. For purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 1952, “interstate facilities” are defined to include

Case 1:23-cv-00121 Document1 Filed 03/27/23 Page 73 of 100 PagelD #: 73
303. The Count I Defendants reside in various states, and used interstate facilities in
furtherance of their crimes of money laundering. For example, multiple wire transfers from
Plaintiffs’ operating accounts in Massachusetts and New Jersey went to the Defendants “shell
corporations” in other states, and other Enterprise member defendants domiciled in Georgia,
New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, conducted business with Plaintiffs
with headquarters and/or principal places of business in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
304. Any transactions that the Count I Defendants made with vendors or other business
partners located in Rhode Island and New York, were also interstate activities that furthered their
extortion, loan sharking, predatory investment activities and money laundering activities, with
respect to their loan sharking rackets.
305. Both to commit acts of extortion and money laundering and to facilitate these
acts, the Count I Defendants made use of “interstate facilities” to “distribute the proceeds of any
unlawful activity; or . . . otherwise promote, manage, establish, carry on. or facilitate the
promotion, management, establishment, or carrying on, of [their] unlawful activity.” Among
other things, they intentionally engaged in acts of extortion, skimming (kickbacks) and money
laundering through interstate channels, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1952 and 1956. Their
conduct thus constitutes racketeering activity in multiple forms according to 18 U.S.C.
§ 1961(1).

the agent, partner, alter ego, subsidiary, and/or co-conspirator of and with the other Defendants,
and the acts of each were in the scope of that relationship. On information and belief, each

Case 1:23-cv-00121 Document1 Filed 03/27/23 Page 74 of 100 PagelD #: 74
Defendant knowingly and intentionally agreed with the other to carry out the acts alleged in this
Complaint. On information and belief, in doing the acts and failing to act as alleged in this
Complaint, each Defendant acted with the knowledge, permission, and consent of the other, and
each Defendant aided and abetted the other.

Defendants, as the plaintiffs were fraudulently induced at the execution of the investment and/or
loan contracts, then “bait and switched” into unfavorable loan and investment contracts.
310. The Enterprise schemes perpetrated by the Count I Defendants were
“horizontally” related. For example, among other things, the NE Edge defendants had a
connection to the Tech Defendants via Demirjian and to the Municipal Defendants, via the
conspiracy between attorneys and Police, etc.
311. Defendants had a common purpose (defrauding and otherwise extracting unlawful
payments from Plaintiffs for their personal financial gain, while concealing their unlawful
conduct. The Count I Defendants’ conduct thus constitutes a pattern of racketeering activity, as
defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1961(5).
312. As a direct and proximate result of the NE Edge Enterprise and the Count I
Defendants’ racketeering and other activities, Plaintiffs have been injured in their business and
property in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1962(a), which prohibits “any person who has received any

defendants’ other shell corporation “loan sharking fronts,” which member defendants Raymond
Green, Peter Spitalny, Thomas Quinn and George Mclaughlin, converted as alter egos for the
unlawful racketeering activities.
316. On information and belief, such defendants commingled their personal finances
with NE Edge, Stein Fibers et al funds and assets. Moreover, Defendants Green, Spitalny,
Quinn, Mclaughlin and Bornstein are listed as the owners of the various entities—notably NE
Edge LLC, formed by Defendants as a “shell corporation,” they have used to buy out from

330. Despite her complete lack of involvement, Mrs. Fiorillo was ordered to appear at
a contempt hearing scheduled for June 6, 2022, without the benefit of counsel accompaniment,
as the Fiorillos had recently dismissed their attorney due to a conflict.

Case 1:23-cv-00121 Document1 Filed 03/27/23 Page 81 of 100 PagelD #: 81
351. The facts that Defendants misrepresented or omitted were material. As set forth
herein, a central component of Plaintiffs’ data land contracts, was the parties’ agreement that
“no” referral fees to third parties would be paid, and that employees responsible for ensuring
the execution of those transactions, would comply with all relevant laws and codes of conduct.
352. Plaintiffs’ execution of the Gotspace Data Land transaction was expressly
premised on the understanding that the Company was paying a competitive market price in an
arms-length transaction, not one unlawfully inflated by millions of dollars, due to Defendants’
fraud and kickback scheme.

misrepresentations or omissions to Plaintiffs, to induce them to enter into land contracts and
purchase agreements which Defendants knew involved prohibited and/or undisclosed

Case 1:23-cv-00121 Document1 Filed 03/27/23 Page 82 of 100 PagelD #: 82
357. Defendants made these misrepresentations and omissions with the intent to
mislead Plaintiffs and fraudulently expropriate their lease and purchase contracts (on all of the
Gotspaec Data Campus Land Contracts for properties), so they could reap tens of millions of
dollars in unlawful fees, real estate commission kickbacks and other splits of upwards of
$50,000,000, from their inflated “pump, dump, back door” via NE Edge LLC’s repurchase of
land contracts.

market prices.

transactions, had they known of the payments channeled to Defendants’ insiders, consultants
and relatives.

AND/OR BUSINESS RELATIONS

business time, attorneys’ fees, and site responsibilities; and damages caused by site disruption,
development delays, and the associated loss of goodwill, and reputational harm.

Demirjian, removing the need for physical proximity to Fiorillo's and the other targets’
smartphones, as well as eliminating any reliance on local mobile network operators. It also
circumvented security measures like the use of encryption, allowing Spitalny, Demirjian and
others, to access these infected devices as though they were the devices’ users.

designed to subvert safeguards that would otherwise alert the targeted user to its presence, and
that on Apple iPhones, for example, Pegasus disabled the crash reporting to Apple, with
malicious processes that Pegasus runs on devices following an infection, which are then given
names similar to those of legitimate iOS system processes.

servers, and then installed highly invasive spyware on Fiorillo’s iPhone,and by means of such
conduct furthered the intended fraud and obtaining of information about Plaintiff illegally. This
access was without authorization from Plaintiffs, as this spyware surreptitiously provided access

business associates. Plaintiffs have also had to expend substantial resources to ensure their
personal safety, and to address serious physical and mental health issues resulting from these
attacks.

defined by 18 U.S.C. §1030(e)(11), in an amount in excess of $5,000.00 during a one-year
period, including the expenditure of resources to investigate and remediate NSO’s illegal
conduct. Plaintiff is entitled to compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial, as well
as injunctive relief or other equitable relief in accordance with 18 U.S.C. §1030(g).
