Mueller makes new filing under seal in Manafort-Gates case | TheHill
Sure this will convince Gates he is best of with a plea deal.
Bank fraud- fine not in excess of 1 Mil, and up to 30 years in jail.
As he may have tried to pledge properties for bail, the Feds investigate, guess they found fraud cases of more than 1 case of bank fraud plus bank fraud conspiracy.
Not looking good Paul.

Mueller charges Gates & Mantafort under seal.The news comes just days after Mueller’s office states in a court filing last week that the investigative team had discovered evidence of “additional criminal conduct" after the court made its "initial bail determination."
The prosecutors alleged that Manafort had misrepresented his income on financial statements in order to obtain a multi-million dollar mortgage on his property in Fairfax, Va.
"That criminal conduct includes a series of bank frauds and bank fraud conspiracies," the prosecutors wrote in the filing submitted Friday.
"At the next bail hearing, we can proffer to the Court additional evidence related to this and the other bank frauds and conspiracies, which the Court may find relevant to the bail risk posed by Manafort," they continued.
In October, Mueller indicted Manafort and Gates on a set of charges related to their lobbying work overseas. None of the charges related to Manafort’s time serving on the Trump campaign. Both men have pleaded not guilty.
