United States Second Circuit

In appeal from conviction of theft of government property that included orders of forfeiture and restitution, judgment is affirmed, where: 1) because the money defendant was ordered to forfeit was obtained by her indirectly as a result of her offense, was traceable to that offense, and constituted the net gain from that offense, the forfeiture order was authorized by the plain language of the relevant forfeiture statute; and 2) the imposition of both forfeiture and restitution orders was proper in this case because the orders will be paid to different entities, are authorized by different statutes, and serve different purposes.
