'rackets' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'accountant with company fraudsters' is the wordplay.
'accountant' becomes 'CA' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'fraudsters' becomes 'phonies' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ca'+'co'+'phonies'='CACOPHONIES'

'created by' is the link.
