I think the reality is when he was caught, that Pastebin page didn't have anywhere near the PageRank it does today. Moreover, the detective that did the bulk of the legwork wasn't tremendously savvy in regards to how online communities (and all the activity) work, which makes it a bit impressive that he was able to get his perp. He had a real ramp up there in order to be able to make real progress.

It's unfortunate that cybercrime investigators did not even bother looking into this. I suppose they may have their hands caught up with admittedly worse crimes, like child pornography and theft.
