Practice question
A person argues that offshore-gaming violations cannot be AMLA predicates because they were not in the original 2001 list. Which is correct after RA 12312?
- Section 8 expressly designates violations of the later Act as unlawful activities
- The original list can never be supplemented
- Only activities from 2001 may qualify
- Later statutes are irrelevant to the cutoff
- All gambling anywhere is therefore automatically the same offense
