Why do they add such things to the sentence - he'll never have $ 4 mm never mind $ 400 mm
While I doubt it would be applicable in this case, some criminals have received multi-million dollar book and/or movie contracts for telling the story of their crimes. This practice is particularly galling to the victims and their families (it is somewhat common for mass-murders/rapists).
Such orders basically make sure the criminal will never financially benefit from their crimes.
