HONORABLE VINCENT MARRERO, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Upon the application of the United States of America, by its attorney, Damian Williams, United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Emily Deininger, Assistant United States Attorney, of counsel; the presentence report; the Defendant's conviction on Count One of the Indictment; and all other proceedings in this case, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1. Amount of Restitution
Albert Marutyan, the Defendant, shall pay restitution in the total amount of $2,973,780.57, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3663A (MVRA), to the victims of the offense charged in Count One. The names, addresses, and specific amounts owed to each victim are set forth in the Schedule of Victims, attached hereto as Schedule A. Upon advice by the United States Attorney's Office of a change of address of a victim, the Clerk of the Court is authorized to send payments to the new address without further order of this Court.
A. Joint and Several Liability
Restitution is joint and several with the following defendants in the following case:
• Narek Marutyan, 20 Cr. 652 (VM)
• Mikayel Yeghoyan, a/k/a “Misho,” 20 Cr. 652 (VM)
• Davit Yeghoyan, 20 Cr. 652 (VM)
• Vahe Hovhannisyan, 20 Cr. 652 (VM)

• Zaven Yerkaryan, 20 Cr. 652 (VM)
The defendant's liability to pay restitution shall continue unabated until either the defendant has paid the full amount of restitution ordered herein, or every victim in Schedule A has recovered the total amount of loss set forth in Schedule A from the restitution paid by the defendant and all co-defendants ordered to pay the same victims.
B. Apportionment Among Victims
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3664(i), all nonfederal victims must be paid before the United States is paid. Restitution shall be paid to the victims identified in the Schedule of Victims, attached hereto as Schedule A, on a pro rata basis, whereby each payment shall be distributed proportionally to each victim based upon the amount of loss for each victim, as set forth more fully in Schedule A.
2. Schedule of Payments
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3664(f)(2), in consideration of the financial resources and other assets of the Defendant, including whether any of these assets are jointly controlled; projected earnings and other income of the Defendant; and any financial obligations of the Defendant; including obligations to dependents, the Defendant shall pay restitution in the manner and according to the schedule that follows:
The total amount of restitution is due and payable immediately pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3572(d)(1) upon entry of this judgment.
If the Defendant is not able to pay the total amount of restitution immediately, in the interest of justice, restitution shall be payable in installments pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3572(d)(1) and (2). The Defendant shall then commence monthly installment payments in an amount equal to 10% percent of the Defendant's gross monthly income, payable on the first of each month, upon release from prison.
While serving the term of imprisonment, the Defendant shall make installment payments toward his restitution obligation, and may do so through the Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) Inmate Financial Responsibility Plan (IFRP). Any unpaid amount remaining upon release from prison will be paid in monthly installments of at least 10% of the defendant's gross income, as set forth above.
This schedule is without prejudice to the Government taking enforcement actions, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3613, to the extent warranted.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2044 and 18 U.S.C. §3611, the Court shall order any money belonging to and deposited by the defendant with the Clerk of Court for the purposes of a criminal appearance bail bond to be applied to the payment of restitution.
3. Payment Instructions
The defendant shall make restitution payments by certified check, money order, or online. Instructions for online criminal debt payments are available on the Clerk of Court's website at https://nysd.uscourts.gOv/payment-information#Paymentof CriminalDebt. Checks and money orders shall be made payable to the “SDNY Clerk of Court” and mailed or delivered to: United States Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, New York 10007 - Attention: Cashier, as required by 18 U.S.C. § 3611. The defendant shall write his/her name and the docket number of this case on each check or money order.
4. Additional Provisions
The Defendant shall notify, within 30 days, the Clerk of Court, the United States Probation Office (during any period of probation or supervised release), and the United States Attorney's Office, 86 Chambers Street, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10007 (Attn: Financial Litigation Unit) of (1) any change of the Defendant's name, residence, or mailing address or (2) any material change in the Defendant's financial resources that affects the Defendant's ability to pay restitution in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3664(k).
5. Restitution Liability
The Defendant's liability to pay restitution shall terminate on the date that is the later of 20 years from the entry of judgment or 20 years after the Defendant's release from imprisonment, as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3613(b). Subject to the time limitations in the preceding sentence, in the event of the death of the Defendant, the Defendant's estate will be held responsible for any unpaid balance of the restitution amount, and any lien filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3613(c) shall continue until the estate receives a written release of that liability.
6. Sealing
Consistent with 18 U.S.C. §§3771 (a)(8) & 3664(d)(4) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1, to protect the privacy interests of victims, the Schedule of Victims, attached hereto as Schedule A, shall be filed under seal, except that copies may be retained and used or disclosed to the listed victims, the Government, the Clerk's Office, and the Probation Department, as needed to effect and enforce this Order, without further order of this Court.
SO ORDERED.
