<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2132198, member: 28107&quot;]I agree 100% and SCOTUS is more interested in resolving circuit conflicts.&nbsp; An en banc appeal before the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals is a possibility though.</p><p><br /></p><p>While theft and embezzlement are crimes covered by that forfeiture statute, I see this as applying to accessories and property used in the commission of the crime.&nbsp; If the person never held title to it, then the application of the statute makes no sense to me at all.&nbsp; How can you forfeit something you never owned?&nbsp; Two fact finders (judge and jury) determined that the government had title, and I think it was erroneous to have vacated that judgment.&nbsp; In short, while I think the result is correct, I would have ruled against the Langbords on the forfeiture argument.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
