After his arrest in 2023 Jason Cardiff was granted bail, secured by a $500,000 look bond.
Following Cardiff’s failure to return to the US as ordered final month, the DOJ has now moved for forfeiture of Cardiff’s bond.
As defined by the DOJ of their February third bond forfeiture movement;
In January 2025, the Courtroom ordered defendant to return to the USA on or earlier than January 19, 2025. Thus far, defendant
has not returned.By not complying with the bond circumstances ordered, Defendant violated his pretrial launch.
Defendant didn’t attend a courtroom listening to as ordered, absconded from Pretrial Providers supervision, now resides at a location that Pretrial Providers has not authorized.
Accordingly, the USA strikes for an order forfeiting the bail of Defendant and requests the entry of a default judgment towards Defendant and the sureties.
Forfeiture, if granted, will see Lilia Murphy give up a property in Texas ($470,000), with the remaining $30,000 forfeited by Brian Kennedy.
The courtroom has set a listening to on the DOJ’s movement for March third, 2025.
