Paul Manafort got a $3.5 million loan after he left the Trump-campaign.
The loan was taken out by a holding that Manafort created one day after he left the campaign.
The loan was granted by a shell-company whose two biggest owners just so happen to be Trump and an ukrainian guy.

The loan is interest-free.
The contract contains no clauses that Manafort must repay this money.
