Manafort failed to disclose a loan for a NY property from a lender that was also the main creditor in the California bankruptcy case👉🏼may represent an ILLEGAL concealment of material information = BANKRUPTCY FRAUD‼️🤨 2/
This is bit confusing, so I will try to break it down.🤓
In early 2017, Manafort’s company got a loan against a NY home from Genesis Capital LLC. Genesis ALSO was the top secured creditor (gave biggest loan) in the bankruptcies of the 4 houses in LA partnered w/Yohai.🤔 3/

Genesis agreed to loan $303,750 for Manafort’s NY home *two days* after a judge overseeing the LA bankruptcies — partnered w/Yohai — agreed to release one of the LA properties from creditor protection. 🤨 4/
👆🏼This move, pushed by Manafort’s lawyers, allowed Genesis to put the LA house up for sale, while the loan *just 2 days later* helped Manafort finalize a $6.8 million refinancing of the NY home with another lender. 🤨 5/
Neither Manafort, Genesis, nor the lawyer representing the bankrupt properties in LA disclosed the NY loan to the bankruptcy court - and all told reporters they had no obligation to do so.🙄
Yohai was also kept in the dark (according to his lawyers).🤔 6/

Knowingly concealing an asset or financial transaction that materially impacts a bankruptcy proceeding = BANKRUPTCY FRAUD. 4 former federal prosecutors said not disclosing the NY loan could be FRAUD if the loan & the LA home’s release were connected & deliberately concealed.🧐 7/
The ~$300k NY loan was critical for Manafort to bridge the gap between $6.8 million needed to refinance the NY home & $6.5 million that Federal Savings Bank agreed to lend him.🤔
Yohai was in an AZ facility being treated for anxiety & was unaware of the loan at the time.🤨8/

Team🇺🇸Mueller interviewed Yohai in June, asking him about Manafort’s relationship with Trump, his ties to #Russian🇷🇺oligarch & his recent mortgaging of various NY properties.😎 9/
A LA federal prosecutor overseeing a *separate probe* (how many criminal probes does the #ManafortCrimeFamily face?) into alleged financial wrongdoing by Yohai recently pressured him to sign a plea deal that includes a COOPERATION agreement‼️🤗

Given Manafort’s age & charges he *already* faces, his sentence (if convicted and these are SOLID cases) would represent LIFE BEHIND BARS. Adding *yet another* FRAUD charge is just piling on‼️
Have ZERO doubt. Mueller is playing HARDBALL, and Team🇷🇺Traitor is TOAST‼️
