A Brownian racket is a criminal racket which uses or exploits Brownian motion (nonfiction).
A racket is a service that is fraudulently offered to solve a problem, such as for a problem that does not actually exist, that will not be put into effect, or that would not otherwise exist if the racket did not exist.
The most common example of a Brownian racket is the "protection racket." The racket itself promises to protect the target business or person from dangerous Brownian motion in the neighborhood; then either collects their money or causes Brownian motion-related damages to the business until the owner pays. The racket exists as both the problem and its solution and is used as a method of extortion.
Brownian racketeering is often associated with crimes against mathematical constants.
