Question Presented (OCR Extract)

question presented is: Under Honeycutt, can a defendant be ordered to forfeit property that was intended for and ultimately acquired by her co-conspirator, merely because the property temporarily passed through the defendant’s possession on its way to her co-conspirator? 2. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) prescribes “[c]riminal penalties for acts involving Federal health care programs.” 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b. On its face, it does not criminally penalize kickbacks involving private insurers. The second question presented is: Can a defendant who is convicted under the AKS be ordered to forfeit proceeds obtained from private health insurers where such proceeds are not obtained in violation of the statute?
