It's a few things. Taxes seem to be the big one reported but they are following the money trail. The sealed stuff may/will come out later during the indictment.

Good article concerning who Mr. Manafort is and why he is part of the investigation:

Who's Paul Manafort and why is he at center of the Trump-Russia probe? - Business Insider

Recall, Mr. Manafort and Mr. Trump met in the 1980s. Mr. Manafort owns an apartment in Trump Tower (since 2006) and joined the Trump campaign in March 2016 (in charge of the convention), being elevated to post of campaign chairman and chief strategist in May 2016, only having to resign on August 19, 2016, after an article by the NYT's concerning Russian money he received over a period of four years, up to 2012.

As Mr. Trump then claimed:

"I know Mr. Manafort — I haven't spoken to him in a long time, but I know him — he was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time — for a relatively short period of time," Trump said. (from the link).

Me too. I don't understand how all the pieces of this very complicated puzzle fit together. (possibly no one does). Hopefully Mueller will shed more light on it as the investigation proceeds.

There is a lot of unexplained money in Manaforts background, what did who provide for those millions.
