John Floyd was recently described by a client as “probably the leading authority on racketeering in the U.S.” He has a great depth of knowledge and experience in this complex area. Peers say he is “extremely bright, knowledgeable and also very practical on how to get the best results for the client.”
Knowledge:
John authored the preeminent book on state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statutes, RICO State By State: A Guide to Litigation Under the State Racketeering Statutes (American Bar Association, Section of Antitrust Law 2011 and 1998). He has also written numerous book chapters and articles on federal and state RICO.
Experience:
The challenges of successfully pursuing and defending RICO cases are considerable. John has handled these cases in federal and state courts on behalf of plaintiffs, defendants, and as a special prosecutor in cases that have attracted national attention. He recognizes and understands the challenges and opportunities that these cases present.
A former Georgia Attorney General once said of John, “When you have a complex RICO question, you get John Floyd’s book and try and figure it out. If you can’t figure it out, you call John.” He has also been described as an “endless education” and “incredibly knowledgeable,” while “nobody outworks him.”
John is a frequent lecturer and has served as chair of Georgia’s ICLE RICO Seminar since its inception. John is often asked to speak to prosecutors and law enforcement organizations on RICO, gang prosecutions and white collar crime topics.
John also has extensive experience with cases under the False Claims Act. This has included cases on behalf of both relators and defendants, including a case that generated civil and criminal recoveries totaling $600 million.
In addition to his RICO and False Claims Act work, John conducts internal investigations for institutional clients and represents plaintiffs and defendants at the trial and appellate levels in cases involving business torts, and professional liability.
John is a Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America, which is an invitation-only trial lawyer honorary society and represents less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers. Fellows are selected based upon excellence and accomplishments in litigation trial work and superior ethical reputation.

Imagine the book breaking loose onto the street and killing several muggles. Obliviators show up and the muggleborn gets taken to court for the biggest breach since Voldemort's defeat. What happens next? Who gets the blame?
Like if someone failed to return a book for almost 20 years?
Edit: Should say "just" having your feeding tube removed
In Washington, for example, the death with dignity act allows residents with less than six months to live to request lethal doses of medicine for physicians.
I'd like to know whether this can be codified in a will/power of attorney/living will in the case of a coma/legal brain death. I know that you can request to have your feeding tube removed, but the idea of some small spark of my consciousness hanging out in my body while it starves to death/dies of thirst sounds kind of horrible. I would think that the removal of the feeding tube would meet the conditions for less than six months to live. Could I request that my feeding tube be removed, and then have a lethal dose administered?
