    Tell that to Ross Ulbricht, he used his personal gmail account for shit with silk road.

    Plenty of people just know enough to get what they want done.

      Exactly this, but to be clear he used his personal email account on one forum where he made a post promoting it in the early days. Everything else was solid and, if they hadn’t found the post, I don’t think they would have been able to link him.

      A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link and if the admin logs are descriptive enough, then it would only take one mistake to take down the metaphorical tower of cards.
