The internet is not faceless.

As far as you have a social media account, you can be tracked anyday, it is all a matter of time.

This is why it is very important to regularly do a social media audit.

Be very careful out there.

Stay safe.

Stay away from Crime, unless you're ready to do the time.

Use your head. cool cool

If his device of using Google to scam victims goes undetected, they will blame google. Now that it gets detected some people are shouting piracy infringement and advocate that Google should be sued.
If I am the owner of Google. I will ensure I arrest all those commenting against Google on this thread and ensure proper investigation by the FBI.

There is no such thing as privacy even though this case has nothing to do with Google.
We have no evidence that the FBI got information from Google.
If they did, they would have to get a warrant from a court.
I remember a case where Apple refused to hack a terrorist phone for FBI only for them
to hire a security hacking group to crack the suspect's thief.

If anyone commits a serious crime, they are not really safe.

Those guys knows nothing.
Google does not give details of user's account unless forced by the court.
In fact, we don't know how the FBI got into his account.
