I suspect that his sentence will be determined after prosecutors see how useful his testimony against Manafort is.

A lot of the people will not testify and most of the names are dealing with banks and documents. There are also going to be two trials so this is one of two eventual lists.

There's no chance that they would put the former head of the CIA on the stand where he can be cross-examined

Of course HIS name is John.

Remember the FBI took pictures of all Manafort's expensive suits, clothes and other possessions. The prosecution will point out Manafort lived much better than his reported income generally would support.

Chances are he'd be a hostile witness who might plead the 5th - he might have no useful information that he'd be able to offer without incriminating himself.
