1550 Blue Jay Way

On December 22, 2016, 1550 Blue Jay Way, LLC entered into bankruptcy proceedings.[5][6] Located in the Bird Streets of the Hollywood Hills, the modest single-family home at 1550 Blue Jay Way was purchased on June 1, 2015, for $7.5 million with a $3 million investment from Dustin and Jacob Hoffman through DJ Blue Jay Way, LLC. Jacob Hoffman and his friend at New York University, Jeffrey Yohai, planned to develop the house into a luxurious $30 million mansion through Yohai's Marin West.[7][8][9]

In late December 2016, 1550 Blue Jay Way's $4.85 million loan from Genesis Capital was apparently financially backed with Chicago-based Steve Calk's Federal Savings Bank through Summerbreeze, LLC.[10] The four properties at 1550 Blue Jay Way, 779 Stradella Road, 2401 Nottingham Avenue, and 2521 Nottingham Avenue were held under LLCs[lower-alpha 1] with majority ownership by Baylor Holdings, LLC, which was a 50-50 ownership of Paul Manafort and Jeffrey Yohai, who was Manafort's daughter Jessica's husband at the time.[11][12]

From March to mid-September 2016, numerous unusual transactions with a Banc of California account for Baylor Holdings, LLC occurred; this resulted in the bank closing that account and filing a week before the 2016 elections a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the US Treasury.[5] The four properties had defaulted loans at nearly the same time that Manafort was obtaining loans from the Federal Savings Bank of Chicago.[7]

The unusual financing and ownership structures involving Manafort attracted Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia investigation which gained a plea deal from Jeffrey Yohai in May 2018.[13]

During Manafort's Virginia Trial in 2018, prosecutors raised questions about Manafort's financing of four properties in California.[14][15][16]
