In San Jose, yesterday, the AUSAs filed an application for a continuing writ of garnishment, which directs anyone holding any property of Mr. Balwani’s to get in touch, and start making payments from those funds to the government.
The amount to be paid? $497 million — which includes a 10 per cent surcharge over the verdict amount, as permitted by statute — for having to go to the trouble to garnish Mr. Balwani’s earnings and assets. [Of course, it is nearly impossible that he will ever be able to pay it off in his entire remaining life-time.]
We should expect a very similar application in the coming weeks, as to Ms. Holmes — also in San Jose, but applicable to anyone sending her cash or other things of value into FCI Camp Bryant, Texas. The amount ought to be essentially similar, as well.
That forthcoming one might present substantial difficulties for the reportedly fabulously wealthy Mr. Billy Evans, in keeping property for her, or the kids.
Now you know.
