Actually this does have some merit. Cloud Flare once protected Lulzsec servers. The FBI likely established their relationship with CF during this time to monitor all network activity to/from Lulzsec sites. Now Cloud Flare is the #1 ddos protection service for all sorts of shady sites, all those script kiddies on Hackforums, and everybody else the FBI would like to keep tabs on. CF's response to protecting booter services and the like is they don't discriminate against customers and remain a so-called neutral party. It would be a goldmine for the FBI to have one US based service with full traffic monitoring of all these persons of interest. A TLS gateway would be an even bigger goldmine. They claim they have never done this but have to comply with warrants and NSLs being US based. Hard to believe the FBI never requested anything from CF back when Lulzsec had dedicated agents after them. They would be incompetent if they didn't get data out of CF to help their investigation.
