Since most of hacker news is technically advanced, I'd encourage you all to take a look at the data and determine exactly "what" the back channel was (maybe a secret IRC server??).
First you have to find it, since it's buried in MSM reports and "maaaaybe it's true but who knows??" articles.

They conclude that the claim of the "Trump private back channel to Alfa bank" is "Unproven", as of 2017 at least:
"In March 2017, CNN reported that the issue was still under investigation by the FBI, but nothing substantive had yet been turned up"
