Great read! But man, that first part sounds like typical doxxing. You would think a crypto freedoms Internet head would know how easy it is to link username to username and gather too much information right?

Well, this entire narrative is from the FBI. Though I don't have info otherwise, I'm definitely not sold on the fact that this was the vector that let them in. It may have been incidental or it may not have been.
