The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Hawaii has reported a total collection of $1,742,014.13 in criminal and civil actions during Fiscal Year 2024. Acting U.S. Attorney Kenneth M. Sorenson disclosed that $1,220,860.27 was gathered from criminal actions while $521,153.86 came from civil actions.

In collaboration with other U.S. Attorney’s Offices and components of the Department of Justice, an additional $51,191.45 was collected in civil actions pursued jointly by these offices.

"The U.S. Attorney’s Office is dedicated to protecting the public and recovering funds for the victims of federal crime," stated Acting U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson. "Our hard-working Assistant U.S. Attorneys and financial litigation and support staffs make sure that criminals are prosecuted, convicted and that the proceeds of their crimes, along with any and all fines, are collected and repurposed to positive use."

The responsibilities of the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices include enforcing and collecting civil and criminal debts owed to the United States as well as criminal debts owed to federal crime victims. The law mandates restitution payments by defendants to victims who have suffered physical injury or financial loss due to certain federal crimes.

Furthermore, the office in Hawaii has worked alongside partner agencies to collect $4,123,459 through asset forfeiture actions in FY 2024. These forfeited assets are deposited into the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund for victim compensation purposes and various law enforcement uses.
