Is there any way to be absolutely certain that "John Paul" is really John Paul? Otherwise this does not mean anything more than "somebody better be confessing, but I am not sure who". (The fact that there was a an attempt on the question does not bode well for this guy, but again, that could be faked too... right?)

How about signing up under someone else's name and asking questions.

  I couldn't understand someone who did that. If you're posting under an alias it's because you're worried that you might get caught. You're also assuming that the person you're posing as is going to be blamed. At this point - what would you expect happen? The accused is going to plead innocence. If it was a serious enough matter IP logs and maybe other forensics are going to get pulled out. Are you smart enough to evade all that too? If you get caught, the punishment is going to be even worse. At that point, it is probably easier to just study, learn the material and do it yourself. I just cannot fathom how people could be truly pulling off these sort of stunts and can sleep soundly at night. At some point if you're an idiot you have to accept it and either do something different or buckle down and work harder.

    You clearly don't know how cutthroat some of these universities are. There are students that will do anything to be number one.

    "I just cannot fathom how people could be truly pulling off these sort of stunts and can sleep soundly at night." The same way they do it in the corporate world, I imagine.

It's possible that the professor matched the name to his roster, though a student could still be using a fellow classmates' name.

100%? No. But depending on the schools policies that may not be required, i mean when someone turns in work that hey cheated on there is never 100% evidence ether. If the question matches 100% and the user's name also matches someone in the class 100% it would probable be enough, but thats just me speculating.
