Correct me if I am wrong, but this website, and the owners are in U.S. of A. If so, an appropriate court order would force the disclosure of logs, IP addresses, accounts, etc. There are plenty of examples where sites had to disclose sufficient details to track an 'anonymous' writer down.
With multi-million (billion?) dollar endowments on the line, I would be worried to presume just a throw away account would work.

VPNs exists and are trivial to use. As is the TOR browser. Yes it's probably compromised already, but the FBI is not going to show their hand chasing a random libel case.
