AS AND FOR A FIRST AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
122. The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the defendant
property.
AS AND FOR A SECOND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
123. The complaint fails to state a claim against Claimant’s property
upon which relief may be granted.
AS AND FOR A THIRD AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
124. Claimant’s property is the proceeds of lawful earnings.
AS AND FOR A FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
125. Claimant’s property was intended to be used for a lawful
purpose.
AS AND FOR A FIFTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
126. Without waiving any defense asserted herein, to the extent that
plaintiff seeks forfeiture of any property in which Claimant has an interest,
21
Claimant is an innocent owner of said interest within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. §
983(d).
AS AND FOR A SIXTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
127. Without waiving any defense asserted herein, Claimant asserts
that any interest he may have in any of the property sought to be forfeited is not
subject to forfeiture in that his interest in such property is neither used in violation
of, derived from, traceable to, or otherwise involved in, any “specified unlawful
activity” or any other crime within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 1955, §
981(a)(1)(c), 18 U.S.C. § 1956(c)(7), 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1)(b), or any other
applicable federal or state statute.
AS AND FOR A SEVENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
128. Without waiving any defense asserted herein, Claimant asserts
that any interest of Claimant’s in property sought to be forfeited herein is not
subject to forfeiture in that said forfeiture would be disproportionate to any alleged
criminal activity within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 983(g) and would constitute
an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
See United States v. Bajakajian, 524 U.S. 321 (1998).
22
AS AND FOR A FIRST COUNTERCLAIM
129. Claimant requests costs, pre- and post-judgment interest and

and the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412 (“EAJA”).
130. Claimant reserves the right to supplement the foregoing
responses in the event that additional information becomes available.
WHEREFORE, Claimant ADAM WEBB prays this Honorable Court will:
1.
DISMISS Plaintiff's complaint and enter judgment on behalf of
Claimant, directing that Plaintiff take nothing in forfeiture by reason of this action,
directing that Plaintiff not be legally entitled to recover any property by reason of
forfeiture and directing the release and/or return of all property heretofore seized,
attached and/or restrained in which Claimant has an interest; and
