Summary

Document 118-1, a three-page proposed Preliminary Order of Forfeiture for Specific Assets and a Personal Money Judgment against defendant Chandler Simbeck, filed 12/06/23 in Criminal Case No. 21-cr-00165-RM-2, District of Colorado. It recites that Simbeck was indicted on May 18, 2021 in Count 12 (18 U.S.C. 371) and Count 13 (18 U.S.C. 1343 and 2), and that on April 21, 2023 he signed a Plea Agreement to plead guilty to Count 12 and forfeit his interest in listed assets. Those assets are about $36,106.22 seized from a Citizens Bank account in the name of Etola Leipply and about $282.49 seized from a FanDuel account in the name of Simbeck. The order would grant the government's motion, enter a personal money judgment of $151,000, and make the forfeiture final at sentencing. The date line and signature block for Judge Raymond P. Moore are blank.
