                  The only issue remaining for decision2 is whether petitioner                          
            is entitled to a credit for the $65,000 that he forfeited to the                            
            United States.  We hold that he is not.

                  Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.                              
                  At the time petitioner filed the petition in this case, he                            
            resided in Rochester, Minnesota.                                                            
                  On a date not disclosed by the record, the United States                              
            Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois (U.S. Attorney)                              
            instituted a criminal proceeding against petitioner (petitioner’s                           
            criminal proceeding) and charged him in a document entitled                                 
            “SUPERSEDING INFORMATION” (superseding information) with four                               
            counts (four counts) alleging violations of 18 U.S.C. sec. 666

            U.S. Attorney further charged petitioner in the superseding
