SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 23 – Michelle Roll was
arrested for transporting a
bag of cash for a Drug
Trafficking Organization from
California to the East Coast.
Inner City
Press covered her case in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates court - and her
sentencing on June 9 before
SDNY Judge Lorna G.
Schofield.
Roll faced
37 to 46 months. Assistant US
Attorney Matthew Hellman wrote
that "from places like
Colombia people have grown
wealthy sending this poison
around the work, and in
particular to the United
States."
Roll's
submission included that "her
father was in the hotel
industry and as a result the
family relocated several times
before she was eight."
But Judge
Schofield recounted that she
has a undergraduate degree in
psychology, and has recently
been working in food delivery.
She imposed a
sentence of time served, with
three years of supervised
release and 200 hours of
community service as directed
by the probation officer.
And now in
August, this forfeiture
order: "WHEREAS, on or
about February 10, 2020 the
defendant pled guilty to Count
One of the Information,
pursuant to a plea agreement
with the Government, wherein
the defendant admitted the
forfeiture allegation with
respect to Count One of the
Information and agreed to
forfeit, pursuant to Title 18,
United States Code, Section
982(a)(1), a sum of money
equal to $220,061.00 in United
States currency, representing
property involved in the
offense charged in Count One
of the Information... The
published notice of forfeiture
shall state that the petition
(i) shall be for a hearing to
adjudicate the validity of the
petitioner’s alleged interest
in the Specific Property, (ii)
shall be signed by the
petitioner under penalty of
perjury, and (iii) shall set
forth the nature and extent of
the petitioner’s right, title
or interest in the Specific
Property, the time and
circumstances of the
petitioner’s acquisition of
the right, title and interest
in the Specific Property, any
additional facts supporting
the petitioner’s claim, and
the relief sought, pursuant to
Title 21, United States Code,
Section 853(n). 9. Pursuant to
32.2 (b)(6)(A) of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure,
the Government shall send
notice to any person who
reasonably appears to be a
potential claimant with
standing to contest the
forfeiture in the ancillary
proceeding."
The case is US v.
Roll, 20-cr-121
(Schofield).
