Since the cost attributable to the forfeiture of the defendant currency is less than the $5,000.00 cost bond, $495.00 should be transferred to the Asset Forfeiture Fund, and a check made payable to J. Stanley Sanders, Esq., in Trust for Arthur Grant, in the amount of $4,505.00 should be issued. Therefore, it is respectfully requested that the United States Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation, be directed to transfer $495.00 to the Asset Forfeiture Fund and issue a check payable to J. Stanley Sanders, Esq., in Trust for Arthur Grant, in the amount of $4,505.00.
