Proposed Preliminary Order of Forfeiture as to 4910 Topeka Drive, Tarzana, Against Artur Ayvazyan — United States v. Richard Ayvazyan et al. (Dkt. 931)

Summary

Proposed Preliminary Order of Forfeiture as to the real property in Tarzana, California against defendant Artur Ayvazyan, Document 931, filed 09/03/21, Case 2:20-cr-00579-SVW, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The proposed order cites the application of Plaintiff United States of America, the jury's special verdict determination on forfeiture and the defendant's guilty conviction on counts of the First Superseding Indictment. It would forfeit the defendant's interest in the property on a finding of a nexus to offenses including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. It also authorizes seizure by the United States Attorney General or a designee and sets third-party petition procedures.
