Sorry, that is a typo! Thanks for pointing it out (and thanks to the other Freepers who have sent email with suggestions, corrections and encouragment).

The fellow in question is Richard Pinedo. Here is a story on him from Newsweek:WHO IS RICHARD PINEDO, WHO PLEADED GUILTY IN MUELLER'S TRUMP-RUSSIA PROBE?

Pinedo plead guilty to Identity Theft, he was using stolen identity and bank accounts to launder payments from Russian Troll Farm to the USA. From the article:

That indictment alleges that the defendants used social security numbers and dates of birth belonging to real U.S. citizens without those people knowing, to open accounts on PayPal, an online payments system. The public court documents against the Russians and Pinedo do not reference each other, but the website for Pinedo’s Auction Essistance said it helps people open PayPal accounts.

Concord Consulting (one the the three Russian businesses indicted by Mueller) has chosen to hire an attorney and contest the charges against them in US Courts, so, presumably as that trial goes on we will learn more details about how Pinedo helped them.

The high score of this is to address the issue of "process crimes", where individuals who are the targets of vindictive prosecutors are indicted for things like "obstructing justice" "lying to the FBI" and "perjury". There are a lot of people (including me) who feel that in many cases these charges are pretty bogus. The Scooter Libby case comes to mind.

So, in thinking about what actually proves either Mueller's theory or the counter theory, I decided to award the highest score to conviction for non-process crimes.

Stealing IDs and using them to subvert laws is a real crime, I think we all can agree on that.

Flynn's guilty plea, on the other hand, looks more and more bogus as we learn more.

I may need to add a new item for "guilty plea rejected for proprietorial misconduct", if Flynn ends up getting off, which their are signs he may.
