Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman, faced extensive federal criminal charges stemming from his past consulting work for the Ukrainian government, rather than the 2016 Trump campaign. In 2017, he was indicted on charges including money laundering, conspiracy, tax fraud, and failing to register as a foreign agent. In 2018, he was convicted in Virginia on eight counts of tax and bank fraud, while a mistrial was declared on ten other counts. He later pleaded guilty in the District of Columbia to conspiracy to defraud the United States and witness tampering. He received a total sentence of 73 months in prison across both federal cases. Additionally, Manafort faced New York state mortgage fraud charges in 2019, which were dismissed based on double jeopardy protections. President Donald Trump pardoned Manafort on December 23, 2020.

MANAFORT generated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of his Ukraine work. From approximately 2006 through 2017, MANAFORT, along with others including Richard W. Gates III (Gates), engaged in a scheme to hide the Ukraine income from United States authorities, while enjoying the use of the money. From approximately 2006 to 2015, when
