My understanding is that the default federal rule is that you forfeit for any violation, but that the judge has discretion to decide otherwise.
I doubt you'll see movement on, for example, the parents' house, but I could imagine the monetary portion being forfeited.
(Edit: and I've read since posting that there will be no forfeiture here)

But the fact that he’s in custody and isn’t on the run, means there’s more risk politically to forfeit the money than to give it back.
