PRELIMINARY ORDER OF FORFEITURE
WHEREAS, on February 26, 2024, the United States Attorney for the District of

Maryland filed a Criminal Information, charging Andra Shirone Thompson (the “Defendant’’)
with two counts of Conspiracy, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371 (Counts One and Two). ECF
No. 1;

WHEREAS, the Criminal Information also included a forfeiture allegation which
provided notice that the United States intended to seek forfeiture, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §
981(a)(1)(C), 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), and 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c), upon conviction of the Defendant
of the offenses alleged in Counts One and Two of the Criminal Information;

WHEREAS, on May 5, 2024, the Defendant pled guilty to the offenses alleged in Counts
One and Two of the Criminal Information. ECF. No. 6;

WHEREAS, as part of his guilty plea, the Defendant agreed to entry of an order of
forfeiture, as part of the Defendant’s sentence, to include a money judgment of, at minimum,
$847,280.00 in U.S. currency equal to the value of the property derived from, or otherwise
involved in, the Defendant’s offenses;

WHEREAS, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), 28 U.S.C. §

2461(c), and Rule 32.2(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the United

States is now entitled to a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture imposing a money judgment

in the amount of $847,280.00 in U.S. currency against the Defendant;

ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that:

1. The United States’ Motion for a Preliminary Order of Forfeiture is GRANTED.

2. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C), 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c)
Case 8:24-cr-00057-LKG Document 22 Filed 03/18/25 Page 2of2

and Rule 32.2 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a forfeiture money
judgment in the amount of $847,280.00 in U.S. currency is hereby entered
against the Defendant.

3. The Defendant shall remain personally liable until the judgment is satisfied. The
value of any substitute assets shall be credited toward the satisfaction of the
money judgment. Likewise, the value of any directly forfeitable property that is
forfeited as the proceeds of the offense shall also be credited toward the
satisfaction of the money judgment, but property forfeited as property used to
commit or to facilitate the commission of the offense shall not be so credited.

4. The United States is authorized to conduct any discovery that might be necessary
to identify, locate, or dispose of forfeited property, and to resolve any third-party
petition, pursuant to Rule 32.2(b)(3), (c)(1)(B) of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure and 21 U.S.C. § 853(m).

5. Pursuant to Rule 32.2(b)(6) and (c)(1), no third-party notice or ancillary
proceeding is required to the extent that this Order consists solely of a money
judgment.

6. Pursuant to Rule 32.2(b)(4) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, this
Preliminary Order of Forfeiture will become final as to the Defendant at the time
of his sentencing, will be part of the Defendant’s criminal sentence, and will be

included in the criminal judgment entered by this Court against him.

7. The Court shall retain jurisdiction in this matter for the purpose of enforcing
this Order, and pursuant to Rule 32.2(e)(1) of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, shall amend this Order, or enter other orders as necessary, to forfeit

additional specific property or substitute property when identified.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
