Why is an exploit against a Tor user so valuable? Assuming the attackers can access the server, which for the FBI seems a reasonable assumption (they can seize the server, operate it as a honeypot, etc.), all they need is a browser vulnerability.
Perhaps they did use a valuable exploit in this case, or they used something not legal (such as something not covered by their warrant or NSA surveillance).
