There was a high profile case in the USA, some whistle blower, that used

if that's the case i'm thinking of, he wasn't found by tracking his ip,
but rather that he made a threat to a school and there was a single tor
connection from that school at the same time as the threat was made.

it doesn't take a lot to figure out that those were related.

they knocked on his door and he confessed.

No, it was a different case. Someone high in the military.

link it.


Do your own research, it is a known case :-D

Example, Chelsea Manning
