I have said it before and I will say it again:
THIS WORLD DOES NOT NEED BILLIONAIRES.
We don't. We need a confiscatory wealth tax that would strip these people down to $10 million or less in wealth. We need to find ways to tax capital gains fairly as well. Because a lot of these jerks own plenty of stock but never have to pay taxes on it because they get loans on the appreciation of the stock without selling it. Don't have to pay taxes on loans.

In October 2016, media outlets reported that data collected by some of the worlds most renowned cybersecurity experts had identified frequent and unexplained communications between an email server used by the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, one of Russias largest financial institutions. Those publications set off speculation about a possible secret back-channel of communications, as well as a series of lawsuits and investigations that culminated last week with the indictment of the same former federal cybercrime prosecutor who brought the data to the attention of the FBI five years ago.

The article described in the OP mentions that Petr Aven was once president of Alfa and still owns interests in the bank.

Durham, the special counsel appointed by the Trump administration to look into the origins of the Russia investigation (although Camp said Alfa Bank was able to obtain certain emails through the schools public records request policy).

The person who first brought the DNS data to the attention of the FBI in Sept. 2016 was Michael Sussmann, a 57-year-old cybersecurity lawyer and former computer crimes prosecutor who represented the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clintons presidential campaign.
Last week, the special counsel Durham indicted Sussmann on charges of making a false statement to the FBI. The New York Times reports the accusation focuses on a meeting Sussmann had Sept. 19, 2016 with James A. Baker, the FBIs top lawyer at the time. Sussmann had reportedly met with Baker to discuss the DNS data uncovered by the researchers.
The indictment says Mr. Sussmann falsely told the F.B.I. lawyer that he had no clients, but he was really representing both a technology executive and the Hillary Clinton campaign, The Times wrote.
Sussmann has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
