It'll be interesting to see if some of the mass marketing crimes will attract the minimum mandatory, at least for those who are organizing the crimes. I think letting the public know that we're enacting a mandatory minimum penality will give people some extra confidence in what the law has to do.
My last question stems from your comment that eliminating profit eliminates the incentive to commit profit-driven crimes. You spoke about an integrated proceeds of crime program that would identify and forfeit illicit and unreported wealth accumulated through illicit activities. You mentioned that there has been more than $64 million in cash and property seized since 2003, and that another $142 million has been seized and is waiting for disposition.
You're familiar with the restitution provisions of the new act, which require a judge to consider making a restitution order and to give reasons if he decides against making one. Could you comment on how that will work with the integrated proceeds of crime program that you mentioned?
