which there is probable cause to believe is subject to forfeiture under this chapter upon

described therein, which security shall be subject to forfeiture under this chapter to
the extent that the property to which it relates otherwise would have been subject to
forfeiture;
(4) Any other order, consistent with due process of law, that the court deems to be
reasonable and necessary to protect the rights of any innocent person or entity or to
effectuate the purposes of this chapter.
(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting the right of the defendant
to receive any net income or profits resulting from the use and ownership of such property
belonging to him for which there is probable cause to believe is subject to forfeiture
under this chapter until a final judgment of forfeiture is rendered.
