While he was under house arrest, Manafort had to post more than $10 million in bail. Since he violated the terms of his limited release, has he forfeited those assets? Will the government seize them?
The assets he posted include his homes. He's really fucked himself and his family.

(1,896 posts)The violation resulted in the revocation of his bail, not the loss of what secured his return to court. What's more, they don't need to secure his appearance with that property any longer (the federal marshals are doing that) so it may no longer be encumbered. If he had skipped to the Ukraine never to return, that would have resulted in a forfeiture.

Since they have him until his court appearance the assets are no longer needed.
