The fact that he embezzeled monies tells me that HE had more say over the books than Manafort. And the bookkeeper wasn’t honest either. Gates had to know that but doesn’t mean Manafort knew she was doing some cheating.
I thought I heard that the bookkeeper claimed it was Gates who told her to cheat on the taxes and that he showed her something with Manafort's signature verifying he agreed to it. Do they have that documentation? Or did I just dream this?
