Almost half of the charges brought in VA federal court ended with a hung jury (a single holdout). Those charges can be tried again...although I think it would be with the same judge.
OTOH, state charges are also possible, in multiple states including NY, VA, CA and IL:
Let’s first focus on just the crimes for which Manafort has already been tried. This week, he was convicted of five counts of tax fraud, two counts of bank fraud, and one count of failing to report a foreign bank account. In New York and Virginia, where he held residences, double jeopardy laws prevent him from being charged for the exact same crimes. But state tax fraud is a distinct crime, one that he almost certainly also committed. When one fraudulently hides income from the federal government, one has to hide that same income fraudulently in state tax returns in order to avoid incriminating inconsistencies.
