4. When a RICO TRO is being sought, the prosecutor is required, at
the earliest appropriate time, to state publicly that the
government's request for a TRO, and eventual forfeiture, is
made in full recognition of the rights of third parties -- that
is, in requesting the TRO, the government will not seek to
disrupt the normal, legitimate business activities of the
defendant; will not seek through use of the relation-back
doctrine to take from third parties assets legitimately
transferred to them; will not seek [*-6] to vitiate legitimate
business transactions occurring between the defendant and third
parties; and will, in all other respects, assist the court in
ensuring that the rights of third parties are protected,
through proceeding under } RICO { and otherwise.
