    for allegedly masterminding a nationwide scam that systematically double-booked guests to rake in profits.

    Goel would set up separate listings for the same property at different prices, according to the indictment, then cancel the lower-priced rental with excuses about bad plumbing…If Goel is convicted, the government could force him to forfeit all of the properties, according to the indictment.

        Is anything like that on the table here, legally?

        I mean, is this something that would lead to the properties being seized, or would he just be fined and maybe just have to sell or have the bank claim them?
