CNN: “A judge has ordered that Larry Nassar’s prison funds be turned over to the government and put toward victim restitution, according to court documents filed Thursday. US District Judge Janet T. Neff granted a motion by prosecutors to have Nassar’s funds, which totaled $2,041.57 as of last month, applied to his outstanding restitution debts. Prosecutors said that at one point, Nassar’s prison account had a balance of $12,825, including stimulus checks for $600 and $1400, respectively issued in January and March of this year, the order states.”
“It’s unclear where the additional money of more than $10,000 went. CNN has previously reported that despite having money in his account, Nassar has only paid $300 toward the more than $62,000 he was ordered to pay in restitution, according to a motion filed last month by prosecutors. He was ordered to pay $57,488.52 in restitution to five victims in a child pornography case, along with an extra $5,000 for an assessment fee pursuant to the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015, the motion read. ‘The funds in Defendant’s inmate trust account do not constitute property that is exempt from collection in a criminal case,’ Neff wrote. ‘IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Bureau of Prisons shall turn over funds, in an amount up to $62,488.52, held in Defendant’s inmate trust account at the date and time the Bureau of Prisons receives this Order … for application against Defendant’s outstanding restitution in this case.'”
