The person was running a pirate game selling website based in surprise Arizona named the same as the username that they were posting and moderating (a switch piracy community) on Reddit and the email address associated with their Reddit account was the same one they used to correspond with Nintendo about getting stuff repaired which was sent to their address in surprise Arizona.

Evaluate and make changes to your own life as you see necessary.

Hmm...is Reddit selling email addresses, or were they compelled to provide them by law enforcement?
