Pineda's role seems central here, no?

His information doesn't talk about how he was paid. But that could be part of it too.

I mean he facilitated the payments to others by helping to establish bank accounts under the names of stolen identities. Maybe forensics led Mueller to Pineda, but Pineda has the receipts.
