Answer to Question 1

Answer Organized crime is defined as the establishment and control of both legal and illegal forms of gambling including lotteries, bookmaking, and horse-race and athletic betting. Organized crime includes loan-sharking (the activity that entails the lending of money at far higher rates than legal limits), large-scale drug trafficking, fencing of stolen goods (the systematic sale of stole merchandise), and infiltration of legitimate businesses in order to launder money.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The two acts were the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Securities Act of 1933 had two main objectives: to require that investors receive financial disclosures regarding products being marketed and significant information concerning securities offered for public sale and to prohibit deceit and misrepresentation in the sale of other securities. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 created the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) and gave it broad power to oversee all aspects of the securities industry. This included the power to register, regulate, and oversee brokerage firms, transfer agents, and the national stock exchanges.
