USMS Policy Directive 13.7, Persons Prohibited from Purchasing Forfeited Property stipulates that certain individuals are prohibited from purchasing forfeited property in the Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Forfeiture Program, directly or indirectly (through another person or agent) and are therefore barred from placing bids to buy such property:

e) As a matter of policy, the USMS extends the purchase restrictions of a criminal case to any person whose conduct gave rise to a civil forfeiture of the property or to anyone acting in concert with or on behalf of, such a person.
