There's no way they caught this person in a few months time, with all the precautions he took. Someone ratted this guy out. Would love to know why the feds don't pursue the big market manipulators, instead trying to make headlines with small fish. Probably can't make anything stick, because they are less than competent and less than fully manned. The rat needs to be exposed.

Often times people who take a lot of precautions still make one mistake. cf. Ulbricht, Ross.

It is important to punish whistleblowers, because it makes cheating safer. If people are afraid to report it is easier to cheat and not get caught.

Power is political.
