Were they using cryptocurrency? Maybe that's how they thought they could get away with it. The article doesn't say
The article doesn't talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.
The press release talks about trouble with payment providers... So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.
Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out... I don't think I'm that interested. If it's a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a "true crime" show.
