My thoughts go to the fact they were able to hunt someone down based on their bitcoin address.

Either they got help, this kid was already being watched or it just speaks to the DOJs data collection to all citizens.

The kid probably did not practice good OpSec. A single slip is all you need when you attack is so high-profile.
