There are many possible ways that Facebook was able to aggregate who your friends were. Some of these are:
Your history of searches, people you looked at, things you liked, your IP address, GPS location, facial picture, login patterns, people who searched for you with your new email account, sites you tried to connect to while on a page that linked back to Facebook that had the same cookie tracking information from your other account.
