{UAH} Oleg Deripaska

Manafort is also associated with Oleg Deripaska, a wealthy Russian oligarch with known ties to the Kremlin. 

Deripaska's representatives claimed, in legal complaints filed in the Cayman Islands in 2014, that Manafort had disappeared after Deripaska gave him $19 million to invest in a failed Ukrainian TV venture. 

A subsequent court filing from June 2018 revealed that Manafort owed Deripaska an additional $10 million for a separate unpaid loan. 

In October 2017, The Atlantic published several emails that appeared to show Manafort using his elevated role in the Trump campaign to resolve the dispute with Deripaska. 

Manafort reportedly wrote an email to his associate, Russian-Ukrainian operative Konstantin Kilimnik, offering to give Deripaska "private briefings" about the campaign.

"I assume you have shown our friends my media coverage, right?" Manafort reportedly wrote to Kilimnik, who has suspected ties to Russian intelligence. 

"Absolutely," replied Kilimnik. "Every article." 

"How do we use to get whole," Manafort responded. "Has OVD operation seen?" 

Former intelligence officials told Business Insider that Manafort was likely trying to repay his debt to Deripaska. Investigators have concluded that "OVD" was a reference to his full name: Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska. 

Kilimnik reportedly told Manafort in a later email that he had been "sending everything to Victor, who has been forwarding the coverage directly to OVD." Victor was a senior aide to Deripaska, according to The Atlantic. 

Deripaska and Manafort worked together in 2006 as well, when Deripaska signed a $10 million annual contract

 with Manafort for a lobbying project in the US that Manafort said would "greatly benefit the Putin Government."
