My question too.
It’s a civil judgment that’s in effect for at least 20 years. It cannot be discharged in bankruptcy and the DOJ has same tools to collect as the IRS. The federal government can garnish 25 percent of this guys [legal] wages and lien any property he has.
I have a client with one of these judgments against him, and the DOJ is very aggressive about collecting. I doubt they will be so aggressive in this guy’s case, but they’ve given him zero incentive to get a straight job and get his life together.
Can’t be put back in prison for failure to pay restitution, unless you commit another criminal act to conceal assets. Several banksters managed to stall out on paying restitution until W gave them a pardon that wiped out the restitution requirement, at which point they and their family could enjoy the ill gotten gains.
