It is. Most jurisdictions have special forms that have to be completed before a judge will even look at the claims, and the overwhelming majority of cases are dismissed immediately. RICO doesn't mean "these companies do bad things so they should pay." It means "these people colluded in a very specific manner to break specific laws."
The federal government has trouble winning RICO cases with effectively infinite resources and time. This case has almost no chance.
Or, as Popehat says, "It's never RICO."
