This approach to the domestic-injury requirement is most consistent with RJR Nabisco. There, the Court clarified that its domestic-injury requirement “does not mean that foreign plaintiffs may not sue under RICO.” 579 U. S., at 353, n. 12.

RJR Nabisco implied that the focus of §1964(c) is injuries in “business or property by reason of a violation of [RICO’s substantive provisions].” §1964(c).

Thus, in assessing whether there is a domestic injury, courts should engage in a case-specific analysis that looks
