They were able to track him using an IP address? Really? Hasn't this guy ever heard of a VPN?

They got tracked by some Ad request that was linked to bank account. Feds went under cover and bought the Ad and then tracked the account.

On July 31st 2015, records provided by Apple show that the me.com account was used to purchase something on iTunes. The logs show that the same IP address was used on the same day to access the KAT Facebook page. After KAT began accepting Bitcoin donations in 2012, $72,767 was moved into a Coinbase account in Vaulin's name. That Bitcoin wallet was registered with the same me.com email address.
