United States Second Circuit

Preliminary Order of Forfeiture ordering forfeited the contents of several bank accounts and other items in connection with defendant's conviction of, among other crimes, interstate transportation of stolen property is vacated to the extent the district court erred in ordering forfeited those assets that were obtained through uncharged violations of 18 U.S.C. section 2314 and did not bear an adequate statutory nexus to the violations of which defendant was convicted.
