Id. § 853(n)(3). 7,Here, I, the petitioner is the lawful owner of the Property. 16. Alternatively, Petitioner is a bona fide purchaser for value of my interest in the Property under 21 U.S.C. § 853(n)(6)(B). #### Case 1:23-cr-00118-AT - Filed 04/06/25 Page 3 of 8 8, Petitioner was made aware of the Order of Forfeiture by viewing it at www.forfeiture.gov (which was published from February 6, 2025 through March 7, 2025) noting that: pursuant to Title 21, United States Code, Section 835(n), persons other than the defendant who wish to assert a legal interest in property that has been ordered forfeited to the United States must file a petition for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of their alleged interest in the property with the Court within thirty (30) days of the final publication of notice, or receipt of actual notice, whichever is earlier." 9, Petitioner has filed this petition within 60 days of the initial publication of notice.
