32of fact. However, if the pattern of related felony conduct involves
33the taking of more than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000),
34but not more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), the

24(5) If the property to be preserved are assets under the control
25of a banking or financial institution, the prosecuting agency, at the
26time of the filing of the petition, may obtain an order from the
27court directing the banking or financial institution to immediately
28disclose the account numbers and value of the assets of the accused
29held by the banking or financial institution. The prosecuting agency
30shall file a supplemental petition, specifically identifying which
31banking or financial institution accounts shall be subject to a
32temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other
33protective remedy.

34(6) Any person claiming an interest in the protected property

22property.

23(2) Appointment of a receiver to take possession of, care for,

25may be maintained and preserved. The court may order that a
26receiver appointed pursuant to this section shall be compensated

28connection with the possession, care, management, and operation
29of any property or assets that are subject to the provisions of this

36of paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) to all known and reasonably
37ascertainable interested parties and upon a hearing to determine
38that an order is necessary to preserve the property pending the
39outcome of the criminal proceedings. A temporary restraining
40order may be issued by the court, ex parte, pending that hearing
P9    1in conjunction with or subsequent to the filing of the petition upon
2the application of the prosecuting attorney. The temporary
3restraining order may be based upon the sworn declaration of a
4peace officer with personal knowledge of the criminal investigation
5that establishes probable cause to believe that aggravated white
6collar crime or a felony, a material element of which is fraud or
7embezzlement, that involves the taking or loss of more than one
8hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) has taken place and that the
9amount of restitution and fines exceeds or equals the worth of the
10assets subject to the temporary restraining order. The declaration
11may include the hearsay statements of witnesses to establish the
12necessary facts. The temporary restraining order may be issued
13without notice upon a showing of good cause to the court.

14(2) The defendant, or a person who has filed a verified claim
15as provided in paragraph (6) of subdivision (d), shall have the right
16to have the court conduct an order to show cause hearing within
1710 days of the service of the request for hearing upon the
18prosecuting agency, in order to determine whether the temporary
19restraining order should remain in effect, whether relief should be
20granted from any lis pendens recorded pursuant to paragraph (4)
21of subdivision (d), or whether any existing order should be
22modified in the interests of justice. Upon a showing of good cause,
23the hearing shall be held within two days of the service of the
24request for hearing upon the prosecuting agency.

25(3) In determining whether to issue a preliminary injunction or
26temporary restraining order in a proceeding brought by a
27prosecuting agency in conjunction with or subsequent to the filing
28of an allegation pursuant to this section, the court has the discretion
29to consider any matter that it deems reliable and appropriate,
30including hearsay statements, in order to reach a just and equitable
31decision. The court shall weigh the relative degree of certainty of
32the outcome on the merits and the consequences to each of the
33parties of granting the interim relief. If the prosecution is likely to
34prevail on the merits and the risk of the dissipation of assets
35outweighs the potential harm to the defendants and the interested
36parties, the court shall grant injunctive relief. The court shall give
37significant weight to the following factors:

38(A) The public interest in preserving the property or assets
39pendente lite.

P10   1(B) The difficulty of preserving the property or assets pendente
2lite where the underlying alleged crimes involve issues of fraud
3and moral turpitude.

4(C) The fact that the requested relief is being sought by a public
5prosecutor on behalf of alleged victims of white collar crimes.

6(D) The likelihood that substantial public harm has occurred
7where aggravated white collar crime is alleged to have been
8committed.

9(E) The significant public interest involved in compensating
10the victims of white collar crime and paying court-imposed
11restitution and fines.

12(4) The court, in making its orders, may consider a defendant’s
13request for the release of a portion of the property affected by this
14section in order to pay reasonable legal fees in connection with
15the criminal proceeding, any necessary and appropriate living
16expenses pending trial and sentencing, and for the purpose of
17posting bail. The court shall weigh the needs of the public to retain
18the property against the needs of the defendant to a portion of the
19property. The court shall consider the factors listed in paragraph
20(3) prior to making any order releasing property for these purposes.

21(5) The court, in making its orders, shall seek to protect the
22interests of any innocent third persons, including an innocent
23spouse, who were not involved in the commission of any criminal
24activity.

25(6) Any petition filed pursuant to this section is part of the
26criminal proceedings for purposes of appointment of counsel and
27shall be assigned to the criminal division of the superior court of
28the county in which the accusatory pleading was filed.

29(7) Based upon a noticed motion brought by the receiver
30appointed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (e), the court
31may order an interlocutory sale of property named in the petition
32when the property is liable to perish, to waste, or to be significantly
33reduced in value, or when the expenses of maintaining the property
34are disproportionate to the value thereof. The proceeds of the
35interlocutory sale shall be deposited with the court or as directed
36by the court pending determination of the proceeding pursuant to
37this section.

38(8) The court may make any orders that are necessary to preserve
39the continuing viability of any lawful business enterprise that is
P11   1affected by the issuance of a temporary restraining order or
2preliminary injunction issued pursuant to this action.

3(9) In making its orders, the court shall seek to prevent any asset
4subject to a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction
5from perishing, spoiling, going to waste, or otherwise being
6significantly reduced in value. Where the potential for diminution
7in value exists, the court shall appoint a receiver to dispose of or
8otherwise protect the value of the property or asset.

9(10) A preservation order shall not be issued against any assets
10of a business that are not likely to be dissipated and that may be
11subject to levy or attachment to meet the purposes of this section.

12(g) If the allegation that the defendant is subject to the
13aggravated white collar crime enhancement or has committed a
14felony, a material element of which is fraud or embezzlement, that
15involves the taking or loss of more than one hundred thousand
16dollars ($100,000) is dismissed or found by the trier of fact to be
17untrue, any preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order
18issued pursuant to this section shall be dissolved. If a jury is the
19trier of fact, and the jury is unable to reach a unanimous verdict,
20the court shall have the discretion to continue or dissolve all or a
21portion of the preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order
22based upon the interests of justice. However, if the prosecuting
23agency elects not to retry the case, any preliminary injunction or
24temporary restraining order issued pursuant to this section shall
25be dissolved.

26(h) (1) (A) If the defendant is convicted of two or more
27felonies, as specified in subdivision (a), and the existence of facts
28that would make the person subject to the aggravated white collar
29crime enhancement have been admitted or found to be true by the
30trier of fact, or the defendant is convicted of a felony, a material
31element of which is fraud or embezzlement, that involves the taking
32or loss of more than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), and
33an allegation as to the existence of those facts has been admitted
34or found to be true by the trier of fact, the trial judge shall continue
35the preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order until the
36date of the criminal sentencing and shall make a finding at that
37time as to what portion, if any, of the property or assets subject to
38the preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order shall be
39levied upon to pay fines and restitution to victims of the crime.
40The order imposing fines and restitution may exceed the total worth
P12   1of the property or assets subjected to the preliminary injunction
2or temporary restraining order. The court may order the immediate
3transfer of the property or assets to satisfy any judgment and
4sentence made pursuant to this section. Additionally, upon motion
5of the prosecution, the court may enter an order as part of the
6judgment and sentence making the order imposing fines and
7restitution pursuant to this section enforceable pursuant to Title 9
8(commencing with Section 680.010) of Part 2 of the Code of Civil
9Procedure.

10(B) Additionally, the court shall order the defendant to make
11full restitution to the victim or to make restitution to the victim
12based on his or her ability to pay, as defined in subdivision (e) of
13Section 1203.1b. The payment of the restitution ordered by the
14court pursuant to this section shall be made a condition of any
15probation granted by the court if the existence of facts that would
16make the defendant subject to the aggravated white collar crime
17enhancement or of facts demonstrating the person committed a
18felony, a material element of which is fraud or embezzlement, that
19 involves the taking or loss of more than one hundred thousand
20dollars ($100,000) have been admitted or found to be true by the
21trier of fact. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court
22may order that the period of probation continue for up to 10 years
23or until full restitution is made to the victim, whichever is earlier.

24(C) The sentencing court shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the
25order to pay additional fines and restitution and, in appropriate
26cases, may initiate probation violation proceedings or contempt
27of court proceedings against a defendant who is found to have
28willfully failed to comply with any lawful order of the court.

29(D) If the execution of judgment is stayed pending an appeal
30of an order of the superior court pursuant to this section, the
31preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order shall be
32maintained in full force and effect during the pendency of the
33appellate period.

34(2) The order imposing fines and restitution shall not affect the
35interest in real property of any third party that was acquired prior
36to the recording of the lis pendens, unless the property was obtained
37from the defendant other than as a bona fide purchaser for value.
38If any assets or property affected by this section are subject to a
