The other implications are money laundering and that his agency was used to move money to other US officials..
When they say people are going to jail over this stuff, this guy is one of them..

Only if they are an elected official or held office. I don't think he ever did, so he was not bound to declare it. Now it appears he is going to do it. Yeah not good, Eli Lake when explaining this said that it's illegal but he hasn't seen people go to jail over this type of stuff. Still shows what kind of guys these guys are.
