Below is the FBI complaint against the Administration of the Incognito Darknet Market.
Basically, he got caught because he was using Bitcoin, which is easy to trace. We also need to discover what "swapping service" ratted him out.

Bitcoin allowed FBI to catch Incognito Market Admin
From a Nostr user reading the FBI report:
"he got caught because he was using Bitcoin, which is easy to trace"
Sent that shit straight to his KYC accounts like a dumbass. Not only that, but his resume said that he was an intern, and there's no way an intern is going to be making millions of dollars a year, so the income had to be coming from somewhere else. Even if he hadn't sent it directly to his KYC accounts, that would have been a red flag.
