DOJ secures Manafort and Gates-connected entity dissolutions
"The Delaware entities were used to launder $75,000,000 in funds from the Ukrainian government to assist Manafort and Gates in tax fraud and other crimes. Five of the six entities in question also violated administrative requirements of Delaware law: LOAV Ltd. has been suspended for tax delinquencies since March of 2020; Davis Manafort International LLC lost its Good Standing status in June of 2020; BADE LLC was involuntarily canceled for failure to appoint a Registered Agent in June of 2019; Jupiter Holdings Management LLC was involuntarily canceled for failure to appoint a Registered Agent in December of 2017; and Davis Manafort, Inc. was voided for failure to file annual reports and pay franchise taxes in March of 2014.
Manafort, who chaired the 2016 political campaign of President Donald Trump, was convicted by a jury trial in August 2018 and pled guilty in September 2018 to two counts of Conspiracy against the United States, which included a conspiracy to launder money, commit tax fraud, violate foreign agent registration statutes, and obstruct justice by witness tampering.
Gates pled guilty in February 2018 to Conspiracy against the United States and making a false statement to Special Counsel’s Office."
