So this is...what, an $11 million dollar fine?

that's probably either two or three properties seized, actually

worth remembering that fines, forfeitures, and restitution are all different. for instance, manafort was only fined $50,000 in EDVA but he was also ordered millions in restitution to the banks he cheated and the IRS

Mr. Manafort, are you committing crimes right now?

that was basically the arrangement in the plea deal he made, which no longer exists.

realistically they won't order every single property forfeited but he's only got a couple left (that we know of)

Isn't 11 million basically like, half his wardrobe of ostrich vests and poo poo? He's incredibly well-connected, so that kind of fine is basically a slap on the wrist.

no

manafort doesn't have assets that aren't part of his illegal scheme. he had to do a decade's worth of bank and tax fraud just to get dark, illegal foreign money into usable forms to spend in america, and he's already lost some 50ish million in assets between the cases so far

the insane ostrich vest poo poo is actually representative of these problems. he bought ludicrous stuff like that not because he was wearing it, but because it's a reasonable store of value you can re-sell later

I stand corrected. I feel better that he's destitute, if not in prison for life. gently caress that guy.

this person is probably inartfully repeating the discussion about the FARA people in previous administrations supposedly knowing about manafort's dealings. non-enforcement is part of Downing's "it wasn't like, REALLY a crime" argument

Oh hey, that's really cool

Although something kinda important is the distinction between protections for sexual orientation vs protections for sexual orientation AND gender identity since sexual orientation alone does not protect trans people

edit: although apparently Minnesota's 1993 law included both, so nevermind

"I told the government and they seemed fine with it" is actually a defense that has worked in federal court.

Usually it's more in cases where an agency told someone to do some illegal poo poo, got caught, and then prosecuted the fall guy to save face.

reminder that the kind of cushy administrative segregation Paul Manafort has enjoyed is literally nothing at all like solitary confinement, except for the part about not being around other prisoners.
