短释义：
Racketeers commit crimes in order to make money for themselves. In many cases, a racketeer is a business owner or professional who falsifies financial records to hide income or bills clients for more than they owe. A racket is a scam or fake service that’s run by a racketeer — and the crime itself, if the racketeer is caught, is called racketeering. The source of all three words is thought to be racquet, and the idea of a scam as a “game.”
球拍是一名犯罪分子，尤其是涉及有组织的白领犯罪或不诚实商业交易的犯罪分子。如果律师从客户那里挪用钱，她就是个球拍。
