What did the indictment charge?

Five counts of wire fraud and aiding and abetting under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343 and 2, and one count of false statements to a financial institution and aiding and abetting under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1014 and 2. The government's proposed order of forfeiture records that a federal grand jury sitting in the District of Massachusetts returned the six-count indictment on December 12, 2024 and that it included a wire-fraud forfeiture allegation naming $54,700 to be entered as a forfeiture money judgment.

How was the plea entered?

By joint motion and a Rule 11 hearing. The parties moved on November 3, 2025 for a change-of-plea hearing, stating that they had reached a written plea agreement resolving the matter, that the defendant had been advised of his rights and provided a copy of the agreement, and that he consented to the filing of the joint motion. The proposed order of forfeiture records that at a Rule 11 hearing on November 25, 2025 the defendant pleaded guilty to counts one through six under a written plea agreement he signed on October 30, 2025.

What is the forfeiture position?

The proposed order of forfeiture states that in section 6 of the plea agreement the defendant agreed to forfeit $54,700 to the United States on the grounds that the amount is equal to the proceeds he derived from the offense as a result of his guilty plea, that the United States may seek substitute assets up to that value if the forfeitable property cannot be located or has been transferred, placed beyond the court's jurisdiction, substantially diminished or commingled, and that under Rule 32.2(b)(4) the order is to be included in the sentence pronounced at the sentencing hearing and in the criminal judgment.
