States shall have clear title to property that is the subject of the order of forfeiture and

Actions, of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Federal Rule of Criminal

Procedure 32.2(b)(6)(C) provides that publication of notice of criminal forfeiture may

be made by any means described in Supplemental Rule G(4)(a)(iv).

Publication gave notice to all those who might have an interest in the subject

property of the United States’ intent to dispose of the assets and gave instructions on

filing a petition to adjudicate their interests in the assets. In accordance with those

provisions, a person or entity had 60 days from the first date of publication to file a

petition with the District Court to adjudicate his interest. In this instance, the first

date of internet publication was April 3, 2026. Accordingly, the final date for those

who did not receive direct written notice to file a petition to adjudicate an interest in

the assets was June 2, 2026, and the time for filing such a petition has expired.

No person, other than the defendant, whose interest was forfeited to the

United States in the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, is known to have any potential

interest in the assets. No one has filed a petition or claimed an interest in the assets.

The time for filing a petition has expired.

Publication having been effected, and no claim or petition to adjudicate an

interest having been filed, it is now appropriate for the Court to enter a Final Order

of Forfeiture for the assets. The net proceeds from the forfeiture of the assets

identified above will be credited to and reduce the amount of the order of forfeiture.
