First, to get the feds to DO Something when there is an actual, live
person doing this type of stuff.  Figuring out the source of the current
hacks is probably going to be a big project.   Why not devote resources to
going after those people that we've already tracked down?

this is a very good point.  a lot of the more adept people have
backdoors on hundreds, if not thousands, of machines all over.  the fbi
may have thought you're problem was one lone little insignificant
person but what is very likely is that was one instance of many more
systems the same person has hit.
