Clarification - tweet below should say Alfa Bank the sanctioned bank run by Mikhail Fridman, which had communicated with the server in Trump Tower as did DeVos connected Spectrum Healthcare in MI (no known direct communication from Alfa to Spectrum)
Another update, article was updated to delete reference to 'sanctioned', Alfa Bank was not sanctioned by the US
