I'm guessing part of the reason they're willing to ID them is because the DOJ knows this will never actually get to court where they'd have to explain how they found them.

Seems likely. I wouldn't be suprised if it was done as a way to get them put on watchlists in all western countries without having to officially reveal any sources or methods.
