If he is claiming that the traffic to the forum came through the Tor node, that IP would lead them to the hosting company of the Tor node. Not his residence. If they had an IP that led to his home, that would have to mean that the traffic did not come from his Tor node at the ISP. I suppose you could get your own block of addresses and get the ISP to advertise them for you to host your server but I don't think you would. If they got his address from the hosting company, I suppose that might lead them to his house but it also would have told them that the Tor node was not AT his house. Why go there? I think they have something else. There are lots of terabytes for them to look at. Who wants to bet what is there?

I might be reading this the wrong way but it looked to me like the cops raided his home and the Tor server is hosted off site with an ISP. That is what is bugging me so much. The cops raided his house, not the location of the server. If they had tracked the server by its
IP it would have led to the hoster, not his home. They could have gotten his address as the account holder but the ISP would have known that the Tor server was at their site not his home. The IP would not track to his residence. Something is not the full story here or I am misreading his interview.
How about: Police have seen CP and have logs from "Additionally, I was accused of sharing (and possibly producing) child pornography on a clearnet forum via an image hosting site that was probably tapped." Police look at IP addresses that have accessed the images for those that are within their jurisdiction. Police find an address within a block that is registered to Wiliam. Police raid William and receive an education on TOR exit nodes on servers in Poland. Maybe? Why wouldn't the IP address have led to William? --Michael
