You don't burn Oligarchs like Deripaska for $25 million and think you're not going to pay a price. I'm sure Deripaska has the reach to get Manafort inside the prison if he wanted to. The prison industry has never been a paragon of honesty and incorruptibility. Guards will get drugs to prisoners for $20. How far do you think they'd be prepared to go for $100,000.....or even $10,000 for that matter? There's no safe place for Manafort to hide in this, or any other country now.
