So let's say they go in, and power off all the servers. At this point, they ask the colo host who's server is who's. The non-involved servers get turned back on, and the correct ones get confiscated. Where's the downside to this? The unrelated sites suffer maybe a few hours downtime max, and they don't have to worry about tipping anyone off.

    I have a hard time believing that the FBI cybercrimes division doesn't know the difference. They can't be that inept, it's a big part of their job.
