Steve McBee Sr.<\/a> is out of prison, and now it’s time to pay the piper … because the federal government says he agreed to pay a hefty sum as part of his plea deal … and they’re coming to collect.<\/p>\n

Uncle Sam filed legal documents breaking down the settlement on Thursday … stating McBee must pay a forfeiture money judgment of $3,158,923 — and full restitution to the United States Department of Agriculture for $4,022,124.<\/p>\n

That’s over $7.1 million … and the feds say they’ve reviewed some properties he will be looking to sell to cover what he owes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also has to pay $300K within fourteen days of the effective date of the settlement.<\/p>\n

As we reported … Steve was released<\/a> from prison last month after serving nearly a full year behind bars. He pled guilty to one count of making a false statement in connection with crop insurance.<\/p>\n

His early release was made possible in part by his participation in a program that reduced the amount of time he had to spend in prison. He is expected to spend several months under home confinement.<\/p>\n
