Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, an Eighth Circuit decision below, and counsel who has filed here before.
Question presented
Does 18 U.S.C. § 981(a)(1)(C) authorize forfeiture imposed jointly and severally among co-conspirators, as the Sixth and Eighth Circuits have held, or is such joint and several liability foreclosed under the reasoning of Honeycutt v. United States, 137 S. Ct. 1626 (2017), as the Third Circuit has held?
