MOTION FOR FINAL ORDER OF FORFEITURE 
COMES NOW the United States of America, pursuant to Rule 32.2(c) of the

forfeiture.  In support thereof, the United States shows the following:  
On July 25, 2025, following a jury trial, Defendant Carl Delano Torjagbo a/k/a 
Karl Lucius Delano, was found guilty on all ten counts of the Third Superseding 
Indictment. (Doc. 226). On January 30, 2026, upon motion by the United States, this 
Court entered the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, forfeiting to the United States 
the Defendant’s interest in the following property pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 
981(a)(1)(C), 18 U.S.C. § 982(a)(2)(A), 21 U.S.C. § 853, 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and

(collectively, “Subject Funds”). 
2. VEHICLES  
a. 2022 
BMW 
M850xi, 
Vehicle 
Identification 
Number: 
WBAGV8C06NCH96608;  
b. 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Velar Sports Utility Vehicle, Vehicle 
Identification Number: SALYM2FU7MA302651; and,  
c. 2014 Lamborghini Aventador, Vehicle Identification Number: 
ZHWUC1ZD3ELA02216, 
(collectively, “Subject Vehicles”). 
3. REAL PROPERTY:  
a. 5114 Greythorne Lane, Marietta, Cobb County, Georgia 30068, and all 
buildings and appurtenances thereto;  
b. 101 Holt Drive, Acworth, Cherokee County, Georgia 30101, and all 
buildings and appurtenances thereto; and  
c. Tract 4 Fiber Drive, Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia 30120, and 
all buildings and appurtenances thereto,  
(collectively, “Subject Real Property”) (Doc. 260). 
The Court also imposed a personal money judgment in the amount of 
$4,615,080.75, which represents the total amount of fraud proceeds obtained by 
Defendant Torjagbo, that is, $6,366,240.76, reduced by the amount of the Subject 
Funds. Once the Subject Vehicles and Subject Real Property are sold, the amount 
of the personal money judgment should be further reduced by the net proceeds 
that the United States receives from those sales.

Once a preliminary order of forfeiture has been entered, the United States is 
required to publish notice of the preliminary order of forfeiture, and of its intent 
to dispose of the property, and “may also, to the extent practicable, provide direct 
written notice to any person known to have alleged an interest in the” subject 
property “as a substitute for published notice as to those persons so notified.”  See 
21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(1); 18 U.S.C. § 982(b)(1); 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c).  Unless excused, 
anyone, other than a defendant, claiming an interest in the property must file a 
petition with the Court requesting a hearing to adjudicate that interest.  See 21 
U.S.C. § 853(n)(2); 18 U.S.C. § 982(b)(1); 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c).  Such petition must be 
filed “within thirty days of the final publication of notice or his receipt of notice … 
whichever is earlier.”  Id.   
Here, the United States published notice of the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, 
and of its intent to dispose of the property, on the official government internet site 
forfeiture.gov for at least thirty consecutive days beginning on February 3, 2026, 
and ending on March 4, 2026.  (Doc. 278).  The United States did not provide direct 
written notice to any other person because it was not aware of any other person 
with an alleged ownership interest in the property to whom direct written notice 
could have been provided.  
On or about June 15, 2022, MotorCars of Atlanta submitted to the United States 
an invoice in the amount of $1,601.85 for the cost of service and/or repairs made 
to one of the Subject Vehicles, that is, the 2014 Lamborghini Aventador, Vehicle

Government seized the subject vehicle. The United States hereby recognizes the 
value of this work in the requested amount. 
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(7), once all third-party petitions have been 
disposed of, or if no timely petitions have been filed, “the United States shall have 
clear title to property that is the subject of the order of forfeiture and may warrant 
good title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee.”  Accordingly, the property 
should be forfeited to the United States pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(c)(2) and 
21 U.S.C. § 853. 
WHEREFORE, the United States respectfully requests that this Court enter a 
final order of forfeiture allowing the United States to dispose of the property 
according to law. 
 
Respectfully submitted,
