WHEREAS, by virtue of the admissions of the Defendant set out in the plea agreement and guilty plea, the Court determined that $33,600.00 (U.S. dollars) represents the proceeds the Defendant obtained directly or indirectly as a result of the violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1343 and 1346, as charged in the Indictment; and
