"His connections were in the business world"

If you consider guys like Roy Cohn, Paul Castellano, Phil Testa and John Staluppi the business world... then sure. If you consider Valdimir Putin, Deutsche Bank or the Bank of Cyprus any more legit than the first group... then sure. Your boy was like totally "businessed up".

"Do you think Trump had time to go and check out who was registered under the Foreign Agent Registration Acct?"

I think you get a background check on everyone. Yes. The fact that Manafort built his reputation working for several of the worst thugs on the planet really wouldn't have taken much uncovering. "Manafort often lobbied on behalf of controversial foreign leaders such as former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, former dictator of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos, dictator of the former Democratic Republic of the Congo Mobutu Sese Seko, and Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Manafort)

I assume they all knew.

When you bring on Carter Page who's rap sheet includes involvement in espionage, you're responsible.

When you get Roger Stone involved, then you understand what you're getting.

Paul Manafort was member of a subset of slime called the "torturers lobby", fresh off a stint with Viktor Yanukovych, a Putin ally... where among other things he helped organize violent anti-NATO demonstrations. He was a known quantity. He belongs in prison

"There is NO proof that Putin was involved in any way of Trump's campaign."

I can't even begin to unpack the stupid in that. I have to tell you, all of US Intelligence disagrees. Go on with you.
