Manafort Jr., President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, who was found guilty of five counts of tax fraud, two counts of bank fraud and one count of failing to file foreign bank account reports .
Similarly, allegations of failure to file foreign bank account reports rest on proving a money trail. If a United States citizen has a financial interest in or signatory authority over any bank account or other financial account held in foreign countries, if the balance exceeds $10,000 at any time during the year, it must be reported. The government had to prove that Manafort had authority over foreign accounts for a jury to find him guilty of failing to report those accounts.
All of those charges are, according to court documents, offense level 4. Typically, the more serious the crime, the higher base offense levels. Federal sentencing guidelines provide 43 levels of offense seriousness, but additional factors, such as the amount of a financial loss, can increase or decrease the base offense level and the sentence an offender receives.
