>to track down a credit card fraudster to within 2 blocks of his residence Then what? You're going to send seal team six to arrest him? 2 blocks might as well

  Some folks work in cybersecurity and law, so the fact they know this implies some action was taken.

    This was just a regular company, I just happened to be the person who was responsible for stopping the credit card testing attacks. In this case I posted the info in our company slack, where everyone could see it. I did manage to stop the attack. As far as other action goes, that wasn't really my call, so i'm not sure if any further action was taken. The Philippines is a notoriously corrupt country, so its likely that even if authorities there got involved, no real action would get taken, assuming those responsible for the attack had enough pesos to pay bribes.
