There doesn't appear to be anything untoward or illegal about the fact that Podesta sat on a corporate board with a Russian banker. Nevertheless, some of his and Clinton's critics have played it up. Conservative website The Daily Caller has alleged that Podesta didn't properly disclose his shares in Juul when he joined the Obama administration in 2014. In any case... The company is American, not Russian. That is courtesy of PolitiFact that has some good resources you can check out, citations. It's absolute nonsense, this idea that Juul Unlimited is some sort of nefarious podesta getting money from the Russians.
