Actually I'm not surprised. They got too comfortable. They got lazy. Properly covering your tracks is extremely cumbersome and boring.

Well, there's that and there's using a USA-based VPN service.

They could have picked any other totalitarian police state in the world, Russian, Chinese proxies, they all accept creditcard, and the FBI could have done fuck all to get the logs.

Instead you know USA based companies are required to barf up the logs at the drop of a hat.

It's not just lazy, it's really really dumb.
