Introduction

The intent of this document is to provide context for employees of ORE Financial.  It is a living document and is expected to change frequently (Daily) until further notice. ORE Financial provides a service that has grown out of the Asset Forfeiture Program.

Asset Forfeiture Program

The Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program encompasses the seizure and forfeiture of assets that represent the proceeds of, or were used to facilitate federal crimes. The primary mission of the program is to employ asset forfeiture powers in a manner that enhances public safety and security. This is accomplished by removing the proceeds of crime and other assets relied upon by criminals and their associates to perpetuate their criminal activity against our society. Asset forfeiture has the power to disrupt or dismantle criminal organizations that would continue to function if we only convicted and incarcerated specific individuals.

Supporting publications can found on the DOJ’s website under the MLARS publication section.

Assets

Currently, ORE Financial deals with Real Property. Real Property is defined as land and buildings (i.e. Fixed). This is not a distinction determined by ORE; rather, it is a legal designation.
