"That was enough for a judge to grant the FBI a warrant and permission to
secretly install what’s known as a pen/trap device, which allowed for the
monitoring of Hammond’s Internet activity at the end of February 2012.

have records from Google showing Ulbricht logging into his Gmail account
from the Internet cafe on a regular basis, including on days when the VPN
was used from the same cafe."
oh its too funny....
