Yeah, this argument always falls pretty flat with me, it feels like the gov just traces IP's as far back as they have to make their case. "The attack came from an owned box in the USA that we can trace was connected to from an owned box in France that we can trace to an owned box in Russia, I guess the Russians did it" ....
