U.S. Marshals Service Cancels Current Auction of Jesse Jackson, Jr.<\/a>, Assets<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Washington<\/b> \u2013 The U.S. Marshals Service today cancelled the auction of forfeited assets<\/a> from the Jesse Jackson, Jr., case before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia<\/a>. After receiving legitimate concerns about the authenticity of the guitar purportedly signed by Michael Jackson<\/a> and Eddie Van Halen<\/a> and out of an abundance of caution, the Marshals Service will conduct a secondary review of all the assets. Once the review is complete, a decision will be made whether to repost any assets for sale by auction. <\/span>\u201cThe Marshals<\/a> Service takes its responsibility to fulfill the asset forfeiture<\/a> mission very seriously,\u201d said Kim Beal, acting assistant director for the Asset Forfeiture Division of the U.S. Marshals Service. \u201cBecause new information has come to light, we are taking additional steps to review all the items. It is our practice to be diligent about all matters relating to the management and sale of assets.\u201d<\/span>Jackson pleaded guilty in February to conspiring to commit mail and wire fraud<\/a> and to making false statements. He admitted that he defrauded his re-election campaigns of about $750,000 in funds that were used to pay for personal items and expenses. Net proceeds from the sale of the auctioned assets were to be used to help satisfy the $750,000 money judgment imposed by the court as part of Jackson\u2019s sentence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for managing and selling seized and forfeited properties acquired by federal criminals through illegal activities. Proceeds generated from asset sales are used to compensate victims, supplement funding for law enforcement initiatives and support community programs. As part of the Department of Justice\u2019s Asset Forfeiture Program, the Marshals currently manage more than 23,000 assets with a value of $2.4 billion.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
