Juanda sold drugs to a DEA agent on multiple occasions, and was charged into the state courts. After his conviction, he was ordered to pay $11k restitution to the DEA for "buy money" that the agents had not recovered at the time of the sales. Juanda appealed the restitution order, arguing that the DEA wasn't a victim and therefore couldn't receive restitution.
The Court of Appeals agreed with the district court that the restitution statute authorizes this sort of order, and affirmed the order.
