I would suggest to watch the documentary about the guy who was behind the darkweb site - the silk road.

wait are you trolling? because that guy got caught in the most low-tech way possible. He used the same username when promoting the newly-created Silk Road as he had on a programming forum previously, where he publicly posted his email address containing his full name. All it took to ID him was a bored IRS investigator with access to google search
