direction, a line parallel with said Perquimans River, 178 feet to a

the same being 30 foot wide right of way and running from property of

Designated Map No. 2-D061-0017-HB (PIN No. 7868-24-9352) in the
Perquimans County Tax Office,
(the Real Property).
Being fully advised of the relevant facts, the Court hereby finds that at least
$881,058.35 was obtained by the defendant as a result of her participation in (1) the
wire fraud conspiracy charged in Count One of the Indictment, (2) the wire fraud
scheme charged in Counts Two through Eleven, and/or was obtained and laundered
by the defendant as a result of her participation in (3) the money laundering
conspiracy charged in Count Fourteen, and/or (4) the illegal monetary transactions
charged in Counts Fifteen through Eighteen, for which she has pled guilty.
The Court further finds that the Real Property identified above constitutes or
was derived from proceeds traceable to the wire fraud conspiracy and/or the wire
fraud scheme, and was involved in the money laundering conspiracy and in an illegal
monetary transaction, for which the defendant has pled guilty.
Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that for good cause shown, the
United States= motion is GRANTED.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 981(a)(1)(C),
982(a)(1), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and Rule 32.2(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, the defendant shall be held liable for an order of forfeiture in the amount

of $881,058.35. The United States shall not collect more than $881,058.35, in total,
from the defendant and her co-defendant sentenced for the same offense in this case.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that, because the $881,058.35 in proceeds was
dissipated by the defendant, the United States may seek, as a substitute asset,
pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), as incorporated by 18 U.S.C. § 982(b)(1) and/or 28
U.S.C. § 2461(c), forfeiture of any of the defendant’s property up to the value of
$881,058.35.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 981(a)(1)(C),
982(a)(1), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), and Rule 32.2(b)(2), the Real Property identified on
pages one and two, above, is hereby forfeited to the United States for disposition
according to law. The net proceeds from the forfeiture and sale of this asset shall be
credited to and reduce the amount the United States shall be entitled to forfeit as
substitute assets.
It is FURTHER ORDERED that this order shall become a final order of
forfeiture as to the defendant at sentencing.
The Court retains jurisdiction to address any third-party claim that may be
asserted in these proceedings, to enter any further order necessary for the forfeiture

of May, 2022.
