He was living with people I think he found on craigslist, and gave them a fake name so I guess thought he could disappear from there at anytime. He would've been nailed going to a drop anyways they would have just waited for him.

Why did he even need the fake IDs? They claimed it was to rent servers, which makes zero sense I've never been asked for ID when renting dedicated servers they just ask for money. PRQ certainly doesn't ask for anything except email address and payment.

I guess he didn't read that story about the secret service running a sting operation for years posing as an ID vendor on fraud forums.
