What is the legal basis for seeking forfeiture on the 71st street residence?
It looks like since there was nothing of profit noted at this point, any assets that were used in the trafficking the prosecutors are asking for forfeiture on.

EDIT:

found the below:
It's unclear, but one thing worth noting is that soliciting or patronizing prostitution from victims of sex trafficking was not explicitly a federal crime until 2015, with the passage of the Trafficking Victims' Protection Act. That law also stipulated that "there is no need to prove either that the defendant knew, or that he recklessly disregarded, the fact that a sex trafficking victim was a minor if the defendant had a reasonable opportunity to observe the victim." In addition, it made prosecuting said crimes more lucrative for the feds, stating that forfeiture was allowed for any asset that is involved in, or traceable to the proceeds of, human trafficking. That means that instead of just profits made by traffickers (profits that don't really exist in this case), a house where trafficking took place, vehicles used to transport victims, etc., could now be seized. And, indeed, the new indictment against Epstein lays claim to his Palm Beach and New York City residences. Before 2015, the feds may have been able to charge Epstein under the Mann Act (which prohibits bringing minors or adults across state lines for prostitution) or under federal statutes related to crimes against children. But proving federal crimes and getting any assets from Epstein out of them would likely have been much harder back in 2008.

That's it, I was only previously familiar with forfeiture for proceeds of a crime, but that is 100% right, and partially why there are more federal human trafficking cases brought post 2015.

Im gonna be honest, the first time i saw a picture of Barr, i thought he looked exactly like the stereotypical pedo we see in movies. The guy just looks dirty and considering the links between epstein, barr and his father i wouldn't be surprised if he is one. Never liked that fat ugly fukk.

So they want us to believe that this college dropout was just given a prestigious teaching position at a private school by barr's father for no reason and somehow he got recruited to work in an investment bank for no other reason and then makes billions trading with other peoples money just like that? So somehow a domestic intelligence outfit and LE like the FBI couldn't touch this guy and get to the bottom of things all these while? fukking joke of a system. If you hold any loyalty to this shyt at your own personal cost, then you are a fool.
