How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• defining “nominee” in pertinent part as “[a] party who holds bare legal title for the benefit of others or who receives and distributes funds for the benefit of others”
• forfeiting property under the RICO statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1963(l)(6)(A), which is identical to § 853(n), when third party held title through a warranty deed from defendant as a nominee
• looking to the circumstances surrounding the conveyance, not merely the name on the title, in finding that the claimant was merely a nominee and thus could not prevail under Section 1963(l)
• defendants gave the nominal owner a warranty deed “as fed- eral law enforcement authorities were closing in on the [defendants]”; transaction was “an absolute sham”
