Text

The terms of the settlement, unless specified, do not affect the tax obligations, fines, penalties, or any other monetary obligations of the claimant/defendant owed to the government. The civil settlement documents should state this clearly.

See

Chapter 11.B.9 of the Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual ("Effect on taxes and other obligations").
