Opinion of the Court
Mut. Ins. Co., 978 F. 2d 287, 297 (CA7 1992) ("No official of Wisconsin has appeared in this litigation to say that a federal remedy under the Fair Housing Act would frustrate any state policy."). We further note that insurers, too, have relied on the statute when they were the fraud victims. See, e. g., Aetna Casualty Surety Co. v. P & B Autobody, 43 F. 3d 1546, 1551 (CA1 1994); see also Brief for United Policyholders as Amicus Curiae 19-21.

Because RICO advances the State's interest in combating insurance fraud, and does not frustrate any articulated Nevada policy, we hold that the McCarran-Ferguson Act does not block the respondent policy beneficiaries' recourse to RICO in this case. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in this opinion, the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is
Affirmed.
