The Attorney General is like the boss of all the lawyers who work for the government, and Blake was a man who did some bad things for a long time. The government wanted to punish Blake for the bad things he did and take away his money, but Blake said he would leave the country and never come back if they did that.
So, the government went to court to ask the judge if it was okay to punish Blake and take away his money even if it meant he would leave the country and never come back. The judge had to think very carefully about this because it was a big decision.
In the end, the judge said that the government could punish Blake and take away his money, even if he left the country and never came back. The judge said that it was important to uphold the law and show that people can't get away with doing bad things, even if they try to escape punishment by leaving the country.
So, even though Blake didn't want to be punished, the judge said that he had to be to make sure that the government was doing its job of keeping people safe and punishing those who break the law.
