It is a crime for two or more persons to conspire to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud any agency of the United States in any manner or for any purpose, if one or more of such persons does any act to affect the object of the conspiracy. Federal law also deals with a number of specific conspiracies: conspiracy against rights of citizens, conspiracy in restraint of trade, conspiracy to monopolize trade, racketeering conspiracies, and conspiracy in bribery in sporting contests, to name a few.
