Harassment

Course of conduct (repeated following/harassment) directed at a person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear, alarm, or harassment; often criminalized as stalking or harassment and frequently enforced by restraining orders.

Situation:

"Charlie repeatedly follows and shows up uninvited at The Waitress's workplace and elsewhere despite her telling him to stop and despite a restraining order being discussed; The Waitress explicitly tells him 'stop stalking me' and later there is mention of an existing restraining order and reducing its distance, confirming a pattern of unwanted following and contact."

Implicated: Charlie Kelly
Crime #1

Insider trading

Providing or acting on material, nonpublic information about a company to buy or sell (or recommend buying/selling) securities — a federal crime when the information is used for trading or tipping others to trade.

Situation:

"At the Taft party Dennis accuses Trevor of giving an inside-trading tip to Mac about the TaftCo IPO ("my father's going public with TaftCo next week, so buy stock today at 34, not 36"); Mac reacts by saying he'll call his broker, showing the tip was given and acted upon."

Crime #1

Poisoning

Deliberately poisoning or contaminating food/consumables and/or administering a harmful substance to other people, causing or intended to cause illness (criminal poisoning/food tampering; could support charges of assault or attempted murder depending on intent and effect).

Situation:

"Frank (at the direction of the gang's plan to keep The Waitress from investigating) conceives/admits to putting 'rat poison' in The Waitress's shampoo to make her hair fall out; The Waitress reports something is making her hair fall out, matching Frank's plan and statements in the episode."
