                    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                     MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
                        FORT MYERS DIVISION

     UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

     v.                                            Case No. 2:24-cr-135-SPC-KCD

     LESTER JOHN PARKER, JR.

                         ORDER OF FORFEITURE

      Before the court is the United States’ Motion for an Order of Forfeiture

against Defendant Lester John Parker, Jr. in the amount of $911,118.70. (Doc.

56). Now that the defendant has been adjudicated guilty of Counts One, Six,

Seven, Eight and Twelve of the Indictment (Doc. 1), including a wire fraud

conspiracy, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349, the United States seeks an order

forfeiting the defendant’s interest in the $911,118.70. See 18 U.S.C. §

981(a)(1)(C), 28 U.S.C. § 2461(c) and Rule 32.2(b)(2), Federal Rules of Criminal

Procedure.

      In so moving, the United States has established that the defendant has

obtained $911,118.70 in proceeds as a result of the crime(s) of conviction,

specifically the wire fraud conspiracy. The Court thus finds the United States

is entitled to possession of the $911,118.70.

      Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

      The United States’ Motion for an Order of Forfeiture as to the defendant,

Lester John Parker, Jr., (Doc. 56) is GRANTED.
Case 2:24-cr-00135-SPC-KCD   Document 59       Filed 08/27/25   Page 2 of 2 PageID 136




      1.    The defendant is liable for an order of forfeiture in the amount of

            $911,118.70.

      2.    The proceeds of the offense were transferred to third parties, and

            the United States cannot locate the proceeds upon the exercise of

            due diligence. Accordingly, under 21 U.S.C. § 853(p), the United

            States may seek, as a substitute asset in satisfaction of this

            judgment, forfeiture of any of the defendant’s property up to the

            $911,118.70 order of forfeiture.

      3.    Any asset forfeited from either defendant will be credited to the

            order of forfeiture so that the United States will not collect more

            than $911,118.70.

      4.    This Order will become a final order of forfeiture as to Defendant

            at sentencing.

      5.    Jurisdiction is retained to the extent necessary to complete the

            forfeiture and disposition of any substitute asset.

      DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on August 27, 2025.
