Conspiracy — Single or Multiple Conspiracies is a term used to describe situations in which two or more people conspire to commit an illegal act or to achieve some other illicit purpose. A single conspiracy involves just two people while multiple conspiracies involve more than two people. Common examples of conspiracies include fraud, bribery, extortion, and organized crime. Types of conspiracy can be divided into two main categories: single conspiracies and multiple conspiracies. In a single conspiracy, two or more people agree to commit an illegal act or to achieve some other illicit purpose. Examples of single conspiracies include fraud, bribery, and extortion. In a multiple conspiracy, more than two people conspire to commit an illegal act or to achieve some other illicit purpose. Examples of multiple conspiracies include organized crime, tax evasion, counterfeiting, and terrorism. Regardless of the type of conspiracy, all conspiracies share certain characteristics. In order to be considered a conspiracy, the parties involved must have agreed to commit an illegal act or to achieve some other illicit purpose, and must have taken some concrete steps to carry out the plan. Furthermore, the parties must have intended to achieve the goal of the conspiracy, and must have engaged in a pattern of behavior that demonstrates the agreement between them.
