Raw Story has an interesting article:

An American was indicted and pled guilty to identity theft in, one would assume, the Russian investigation.
According to a source familiar with indictments announced by the Justice Department on Friday, Pinedo is named as helping Russian conspirators launder money as well as purchase Facebook ads and pay for rally supplies, through PayPal Holdings Inc as part of criminal and espionage conspiracy to intervene in the 2016 U.S. election campaign to support Donald Trump and disparage rival Hillary Clinton.
What is key, to me, to this is the following:
Mueller reached an agreement on Friday with Pinedo, who pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting interstate and foreign identity fraud by creating, buying and stealing hundreds of bank account numbers that he sold to individuals to use with large digital payment companies.
This tells me what we have assumed — Director Mueller is following the money. This guy is a little fish. He was involved in moving money for the Russian operation, and I’ll bet he was not a major player. He was just the poor schmuck who had his fingerprints on the deposit slips. But if Director Mueller is following the money, then it’s going to get very interesting.
We know how cheap, crooked, and broke Trump is. You know he was not spending his own money. So where did all his money come from? Hmmm? You reckon he might have been getting money from his little Russian friends?
I don’t know, but I’ll bet Director Mueller knows.
