The court noted that the complaint alleged that the Village "provided numerous legitimate services," and went on to conclude that "[a]s an entity providing such services, and as an incorporated body under the laws of the State of Missouri, the John Knox Village corporation has an ascertainable structure apart from any predicate acts of mail fraud."
