To trade you need to open an account with your name, social security number, address, occupation, and other details. Your broker will have to verify most of these details under federal anti-money laundering regulations. Immediately following the hack, your brokerage will be asked to provide a list of people who traded around the hack and benefited. All of your personal information will be in the hands of the SEC and FBI within a few days, and you will be one of very few people with no trading history who made a million dollars out of no where. Yes, the FBI can do much more with having all your personal and financial information handed directly to them then they can with the IP address of a VPN exit node in a server log. There is no comparison.
