Yeah good question, how did they even discover it was his in the first place? How did they link the account with this person? It must've been pretty clear where he felt there was no plausible deniability.

Which makes me wonder if they did IP tracing on those comments and tied it to his name, which would imply a gov't investigation, would it not? They'd have to get the IP from that website, as well as the IP of this person from the ISPs.

It's either that, or some of his comment were things that gave away his identity... like he posted something about him being a writer for tucker.

But the article doesn't seem to specify by which method he was figured out. I would really like to know the truth on this aspect of it.
