If the informant knew the account details, law enforcement could have gotten the account holder's name (even in most foreign countries).

Could they have learned the names by transfers between each other? Jumper,

I wouldn't guess that they threw around their real names. Maybe they were tracked down through money transfers. I wonder how he was able to “give up” all of the others though.

Really curious to see if China will cooperate on this case or not. I've never heard of Chinese nationals being indicted for cyber crimes in the US before, have they been? CBRP1R8,

One of the others got taken down in Germany on vacation, he is up for 2 sets of charges I think one in San Diego and one in Boston if I recall. But we have extradition treaties with both of those Nato countries..... It's unlikely we'll get the 2 chinese, and hard to say on the others.
