Question presented

Whether, in an enforcement action under 28 U.S.C. § 2467, (A) a claimant who presents direct and circumstantial evidence that assets were derived from property stolen from the claimant has Article III standing, or whether courts may dismiss for lack of standing absent precise forensic tracing of the assets, and (B) what state or nation’s law applies in determining whether an interest in property exists. Whether Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 24 permits denial of intervention to an non-party with its own claimed property interest in forfeited assets, on the basis that the non-entity is “affiliated” with another non-party, and where the affiliated non-party was dismissed for lack of standing.
