Remember the California man who pleaded guilty in the Mueller probe to identity fraud, re: a company that circumvented the security features of digital payment companies (related to the Russian troll farm case)? His case is moving towards sentencing, per new filing today
For a refresher on this aspect of the Mueller case, see: buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/f… A Mueller spox previously said there was no evidence that the defendant, Richard Pinedo, "was a witting participant in the Russian efforts to interfere" with the election
Pinedo had agreed to delay sentencing and cooperate with Mueller's office as part of his plea deal. Per today's filing, the lawyers have now asked the court to refer the case for a presentence report, a sign that they're ready to move on to sentencing
Recall that last week, Mueller's office asked a judge to refer George Papadopoulos' case for a presentence report, signaling that his cooperation period was coming to an end (if it hadn't already). Are these events related? Who knows! (I mean, Robert Mueller knows, but I don't)
