He was largely caught through surprisingly low tech means. A handle that he used early on to promote SR was publicly linked to a Gmail account that had his real name in the address

The site has been around for a few months now. There is /was another one called Atlantis. Guess what? Prohibition still doesn't work. This huge bust changes nothing.
