I saw a post last night that provided more specifics (but of course can't find it now) but this older reporting touches on same subject, this bank has ties to Smirnov and Trump, cousin(?) with same first name but different spelling (k in place of x) and needs a closer look.
This one is a lie, but just because something is sourced from Russian Intelligence doesn’t necessarily mean it’s untrue, does it? There may be elements of truth, but the way it’s portrayed can be false. (I’m thinking of the scene from My Cousin Vinnie where the cop reads from the transcript: “I killed those guys, I killed those guys, I killed those guys.” Ralph Macchio’s character had indeed said those words, but with a different intonation, and different meaning.)
Or I guess it could be 100% true and just serve Russian ends? Like Fani Willis’s affair with the Trump prosecutor. It could be 100% true, but if it disrupts the Trump trial in GA, Russian (and/or other) interests may be furthered. The fact that the affair came out, however, could be the result of a foreign intelligence organization, right? How did it come out, actually?

Yes! True info can be used out of context to create a lie
