As Paul Manafort sits in jail, questions continue to swirl around his real estate empire — and potential links between Manafort, agents of foreign governments, and the Trump administration.

On Friday, Bloomberg reported that prosecutors have started investigating a $1 million loan made to Manafort’s family.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors told a court they want to know more about the loan, which was issued in August 2017. The money came from a Nevada company called Woodlawn LLC.

.....

It’s still not clear who funded the loan, which might explain why prosecutors are lobbying the court for access.

Manafort Prosecutors Have Questions About $1 Million Condo Loan
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-08/manafort-prosecutors-have-questions-about-1-million-condo-loan

Mueller’s prosecutors on Thursday told a court they needed to know more about the August 2017 loan, from a Nevada company called Woodlawn LLC. Manafort, the onetime chairman of President Donald Trump’s campaign, guaranteed the loan, which was secured by the family’s interest in a Manhattan condominium, according to court papers.

As Manafort’s legal problems escalated, Woodlawn installed a Hollywood bit player named Joey Rappa as its “managing member” in public filings. The investor or investors funding the loan wanted to remain anonymous given the potential for embarrassment, according to a lawyer for the lender.

Now that prosecutors are seeking to seize the condo after Manafort’s conviction on tax- and bank-fraud charges, Woodlawn is staking a claim to it in order to collect on the debt.

But one riddle remains: Who actually funded the $1 million loan?
