The mere existence of a connection is likely to be the most interesting bit of information to law enforcement. There's been at least one case (that of Jeremy Hammond) where they determined someone's identity by correlating their connections and disconnections to their comings and goings from their house.
- tekromancr 11y agoIIRC, The Hammond/Stratfor case was that they had narrowed him down to a likely region. Hammond had also mentioned in chat that he had been busted for pot possession. All they had to do was look through the usual suspects, who lived within the midwestern United States, and who had recently been arrested for unlawful possession. I like to use this case to demonstrate to people that little scraps of unimportant data can be combined to identify someone.
