This case seems to still have charges filed against the people having their assets seized and if I understand Alford plea kind of plead guilty but not really (Alford plea seems to be 'fine I'll go to jail but I'm innocent).
On a related note this is one of the things that annoys me about trying to talk about legal things on the internet, often people just quote cases directly without saying anything about what it actually means! Then to try to understand what is trying to be said I have to spend 20 minutes looking up various legal jargon to try to piece together what's being said in the case. I understand that pretty much everything is built on case history in the legal world but just quoting cases is tough to parse.
