I'd agree with this sentiment except the mistake is a very fundamental, very flawed one: reusing the same ID. And it was made right at the beginning, when energy is highest. It's not like he made long mistakes over the years leading to an eventual arrest. He allegedly started off by posting with the same ID as his physical person.


Honestly it is more understandable to make that type of mistake at the beginning; there is no way he could have reasonably assumed that he would later have the level of fame that would make the feds run a high priority effort specifically to catch him.
