This story[1] has more detail. 1. Someone else on his discord server cooperated with the case agent 2. He switched from posting as plaintext to posting photos because he thought he would get into trouble transcribing at work. THe photos were the ones the Bellingcat journalist deduced as being taken in his parent's kitchen. 3. The FBI had already identified him. He was using his primary discord account, had told other people on discord, his first name, that he lived in Massachusetts and worked for Air National Guard. Even with a common first name that is going to narrow the list a lot. 4. He repeatedly searched the word "leak" from his work computer, which was logged and led to an FBI alert from his work infosec monitoring.
