Summary

The Consent Judgment and Order of Forfeiture (Money Judgment) against Lisa Smith, Case 1:24-cr-00469-KMW, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, filed July 17, 2024 as Document 22 before Hon. Karen M. Williams. It recites that the defendant pleaded guilty under a plea agreement to a one-count Information charging bank fraud conspiracy in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349. The defendant consents to a money judgment of $183,146.42, the value of the proceeds obtained, and to forfeiture of substitute assets up to that amount, and waives notice requirements and any excessive-fine claim. The order directs entry of the money judgment, makes it part of the sentence and judgment of conviction, and authorizes discovery to locate assets until it is satisfied.
