If he was in fact doing something outside of the requirements, then I have no sympathy for him if they don't allow his request, or pull the rug out from underneath him.

Mueller Pulls Bail Deal Support After Manafort 'Ghostwriting' Op-Ed with Russian Intel-Linked Colleague
WASHINGTON -- The special counsel investigating potential Trump campaign connections to Russia withdrew its support for a deal that would have eased former campaign manager Paul Manafort's bail conditions after the lobbyist was discovered ghostwriting an op-ed with a colleague tied to Russian intelligence.
On Thursday, Manafort's team filed a motion to modify the conditions of his release, saying their client and the Office of the Special Counsel reached an agreement under which Manafort would be released from home confinement and GPS monitoring. Manafort agreed to forfeit four of his properties -- a Bridgehampton, N.Y., residence valued at $4 million, a
New York City property worth $3.7 million, a Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., home worth $1.25 million, and his Alexandria, Va., residence worth $2.7 million -- if he violates his bail, with his wife and daughter as sureties.
"Immediate family members are therefore personally responsible for substantial payments to the Court should Mr. Manafort not appear as required and should the fair market value of the pledged properties fall below what has been documented," the court filing said.
His travel would be limited to Florida, New York and Virginia, along with court appearances in D.C., it continued. "Mr. Manafort’s current home confinement to his Alexandria residence – set during his initial appearance in this case – was viewed as a short-term interim step by the parties as they continued to work out agreed-upon conditions of release to recommend to the Court. And, to be clear, GPS monitoring was never sought nor requested by either party."
The motion stated that Manafort will not attempt international travel, though he "has substantial business and business contacts overseas, and this restriction will undoubtedly affect his ability to secure and retain work from abroad."
