Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller broke his own record this week for guilty pleas. On Tuesday  Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan appeared in federal court and admitted he had lied to investigators about his contacts with  Donald Trump's former campaign vice chairman  Rick Gates .
On Friday   Gates himself  appeared before a federal judge and confirmed that  he  is changing  his  plea to guilty.  He  had been fighting the case brought against  him  and the former Trump campaign chairman  Paul Manafort  which alleged they laundered millions of dollars and broke other laws related to their work for clients in Ukraine.
 Gates  and Manafort have not been charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. by "impairing  obstructing and defeating the lawful functions of the government through fraud and deceit for the purpose of interfering with the U.S. political and electoral processes." That was the charge Mueller leveled at 13 Russians and three Russian companies he says did interfere with the election.
Or the special counsel's office could be laying down one brick in a larger structure. At the very least   Gates'  future testimony against  his  longtime business partner raises the likelihood that Manafort could be convicted of some or all of the charges  he  continues fighting.
Manafort and his lawyers know this. So one of Mueller's strategies in getting  Gates  to turn state's evidence might be to persuade Manafort to do the same and tell what he knows about other people in the Trump campaign orbit.
Or evidence from  Gates  might be what the special counsel's office needs to build a case against Manafort for conspiring in the 2016 Russian interference effort. Or  after years of working with Manafort   Gates  might have other evidence that would permit Mueller to bring new charges against Manafort.
Mueller announced a new indictment in Manafort's case on Friday evening. After  Gates  appeared in federal court Friday to enter his plea  Manafort continued to maintain his innocence and said he remained committed "to defend myself against the untrue piled up charges contained in the indictments against me."

Big Macs and lattes will be purchased by cryptocurrencies sooner than you might think  according to venture capitalist and bitcoin fanatic  Tim Draper .
"In five years  if you go to a Starbucks or McDonald's and try to buy a burger or coffee with fiat currency  the person at the counter is going to laugh at you "  Draper  told an audience Friday in San Francisco. "There's a real need for a currency that's global."
 Draper 's presentation at the Blockchain Connect Conference came by video and helped kick off a full day of panels and presentations from developers and investors. The event was so crowded that people were filling up the overflow room to listen on televisions  and  Draper 's video aired late because of technical difficulties.
 Draper   who backed companies including Skype and Baidu in the earlier days of the internet  has made a personal fortune on bitcoin and has more recently turned his attention to initial coin offerings. He said in May that he was participating in the Tezos ICO  one of the biggest crypto offerings of the past year. That deal has been plagued by conflict  with the founders stuck in a financial battle with one of the leaders of the project.
 Draper  said there will be "fits and starts" in the emergence of blockchain but over time it will effect "industry after industry."

Volkan Oezdemir  had a quick rise up the ranks of the UFC light heavyweight division. Originally signed as a late injury replacement for the injured Jan Blachowicz   Oezdemir  earned a split decision win over Ovince Saint Preux in February.  Oezdemir  followed that victory with first-round knockouts of Misha Cirkunov and Jimi Manuwa.  He  disposed of those fighters in a combined 70 seconds.
On January 20   Oezdemir  will face UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in the co-main event of UFC 220.
âI once said that if Iâm hanging around and fighting guys like  Volkan Oezdemir  Iâve done something terribly wrong with my money and my time. â Cormier said at the recent UFC 220 press conference. âI just never expected him to do what he did so fast. Heâs put himself in this position because heâs been impressive.â
âI wanted to fight for the belt as fast as I can because I know Iâm capable of anything â said  Oezdemir . âIâm there to win. In the UFC I wanted to fight the top (fighters) right away. Itâs the place for the top guys in the world. I fought my first fight against the No. 6 in the world on two weeksâ notice and I just kept on going. I fought two months later and six weeks after that I was fighting for the third time. Always against a ranked opponent and Iâm ready for the champion now.â
While  Oezdemir  is confident he can pull off the upset victory over Cormier  the champion had some words of warning for his younger opponent.
âThey turn over  they present their neck  and they tap out. Thatâs about to happen to  Volkan Oezdemir .â
 Oezdemir  doesnât think  he  will become the seventh submission win on Cormierâs record.
âI got a heart  man. Itâs not going to be that easy â  Oezdemir  said. âYou saw my fight  you saw everything I did. I donât think youâve seen everything Iâm capable of. All fights were so fast and youâre not gonna be different.â
