        Money Judgment Previously Ordered

        The POF included a forfeiture money judgment for $222,051.86. That forfeiture money

judgment is final, as explained in the POF.

        Nexus and Factual Basis for Forfeiture

        The Defendant pleaded guilty to counts three and six of the Indictment, a violation of 18

U.S.C. § 1344(I) and 18 U.S.C. § 1028A. (Plea Agreement and Plea Hearing Minutes Dkts. 34 and

37). Defendant admitted to possessing the Subject Property in connection with opening fraudulent

business accounts using information from stolen checks, which he then deposited into these

accounts and withdrew the proceeds. (Plea Agreement, Dkt. 34).

        The Court sentenced the Defendant and entered Judgment. (Judgment, Dkt 52).

        Statutory Authority

        The Court’s forfeiture authority originates from 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C) and 28 U.S.C. §

2461(c), which provide that, when imposing sentence on any person convicted of a violation of 18

U.S.C. § 1344, the Court, shall order the person to forfeit property, real or personal, that constitutes

or is derived, directly or indirectly, from proceeds traceable to the commission of the offense.

        The Court’s Additional Findings

        The Court FINDS that the record and pleadings reflect the following.

        The United States caused notice of the above-referenced forfeiture order to be published

and sent in accordance with the requirements of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32.2(b)(6)(A).
