Just for posterity since I can no longer edit: Libera staff has been firm and unrelenting in their position not to disclose anything whatsoever about the account. I obtained the last point on my own. Libera has made it clear they will not budge on this topic, which I applaud and respect. They were not involved whatsoever in ascertaining a VPN was used, and since that fact makes anything else about the connection information moot, there's nothing else to say about it.

You applaud and respect this?
Either way, I do hope LE will get into this. They better cooperate.

Respect not giving out identifying information on individuals whenever someone asks, no matter what company they work for and what job they do? Yes. I respect this.

I am not LE nor a government official. I did not present a warrant of any kind. I asked in a channel about it. Libera refused to provide information. Libera respecting the privacy of users is of course something I applaud and respect. Why wouldn't I?

It's called keeping integrity on not disclosing private info any users from your network, regardless whether they are bad actors.
I respect them for that.
Violating that code is just as bad as the bad actor slipping backdoors.
