Manaford put up $11,000,000 in property for his bail.

What an idiot! He gets busted for contacting Russian with ties to Russian intell.

He just forfeited it to the government. What is wrong with these people!

Why didn't he just binge watch Netflix?

1. But he is in business with Putin. He only needs to be free for Putin to get him

out of the country.

2. Did he forfeit it? I thought that he would have put it

Up as bail if the judge agreed to let him out of house arrest. But now what may happen is that he stays on house arrest indefinitely.

3. I'd like more clarification as well. But I don't think he'd think twice about leaving the country

if the opportunity presented itself, regardless of any property losses. This is a guy who creates money for himself via conning/scamming/etc. (much like Thump). Easy come, easy go mentality.

8. Agree, and he probably has other assets we still

Don’t know about—or could be “taken care of” by his dear friends in Russia.

5. You raise a good question.

I'll wait to hear about the bail and if the deal is getting revoked and the property not forfeited.

4. He doesn't lose it, What he loses is freedom.

Bail is only forfeited when the person skips town.

[madaboutharry]

7. I stand corrected.

[herding cats]

6. I'm not sure he forfeited his bail.

More likely it just won't be granted no matter the amount he put up.

He just got caught trying to sway opinion of himself in the public eye, which goes against direct instructions from the court. That he did so while using a person linked to Russia's spy network just makes him look all the worse.

He should be held in a federal facility where he has zero chance to escape to Mother Russia. He isn't trustworthy.

9. At least His Heirs Wont Have to Pay Estate Tax

When he dies in jail.
