By cops I meant FBI/... And the way this is done is you notify the cops first and then coordinate with them if needed. It's not like Twitter learned about this 5 minutes before.

Okay, so does it really happen?

To me it sounds like it’s a civil case where domain specialists need to prove the wrongdoing in court.

It is absolutely the case that employers can and do involve Federal law enforcement when they believe an employee has committed a Federal crime.
