On February 5, 2024, the defendant, Mirza Michael Reazuddin, entered into a plea

agreement with the United States, pursuant to which he agreed to plead guilty to Counts Four and

Five of the Indictment, charging violations of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343, and Title

18, United States Code, Section 1957, and to forfeit to the United States his interest in the property

identified in the Forfeiture Allegation and the Bill of Particulars. ECF No. 42.

The Court has determined, based upon the evidence set forth in the plea agreement, that

the United States has established the requisite nexus between the property described herein, in the

Forfeiture Allegation, and in the Bill of Particulars, and the offense to which the defendant has

of Forfeiture and to possession of the property pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section

981(a)(1)(C), and Title 18, United States Code, Section 982(a)(1).

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:

1. Based upon the plea agreement, the Forfeiture Allegation, and the Bill of

Particulars, the following property is hereby forfeited to the United States for disposition in

accordance with the law, subject to the provisions of Title 21, United States Code, Section 853(n)

(third-party provisions):

Real property, together with all its buildings, appurtenances, and improvements,
known as 1925 Severbrook Place, Lawrenceville, Georgia, more fully described as
follows:

publish for at least 30 consecutive days on the government’s official website, www.forfeiture.gov,

notice of the Preliminary Order of Forfeiture, notice of the United States’ intent to dispose of the

property in such manner as the Department of Treasury may direct, and notice that any person,

other than the defendant, having or claiming a legal interest in the above-described property must

file a petition with the Court (and serve a copy on Stephanie C. Bradshaw, Assistant United States

Attorney) within thirty (30) days of the final publication of notice or of receipt of actual notice,

whichever is earlier.

This notice shall state that the petition shall be for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of

the petitioner’s alleged interest in the property, shall be signed by the petitioner under penalty of

perjury, and shall set forth the nature and extent of the petitioner’s right, title, or interest in the

forfeited property and any additional facts supporting the petitioner’s claim and the relief sought.

The United States may also, to the extent practicable, provide direct written notice to any

person known to have alleged an interest in the property that is the subject of this Preliminary

Order of Forfeiture, as a substitute for published notice as to those persons so notified.

5. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.2(b)(4), this Preliminary Order of Forfeiture shall

become final as to the defendant at the time of sentencing and shall be made part of the sentence
