No. 20-3458
Decision Date: 
February 7, 2022
Federal District: 
S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting defendant’s motion for accounting of amounts collected by government to satisfy defendant’s $60 million forfeiture judgment as part of his sentence on drug and criminal enterprise offenses. While defendant argued that Dist. Ct. should not have credited to his judgment $2 million forfeited under 2003 settlement agreement, where, according to defendant, 2003 settlement agreement was invalid, defendant forfeited said argument, where defendant had failed to either appeal Dist. Ct.’s 2003 judgment that had approved settlement terms or otherwise object to said terms at time it was entered in 2003. Also, contrary to defendant’s argument, Dist. Ct. could limit instant accounting to what government collected and credited to defendant’s Controlled Substance Act’s forfeiture judgment in Southern District of Illinois, as opposed to said judgments that had been credited to defendant in other judicial districts.
