I feel like I’m missing a step here. So his tatoos showed and someone who happened to know about this guy happened to notice? Does he have a particularly distinctive tattoo?
I’m not rejecting the claims in the article, but they sure are pretty surprising. Two ideas that seem far fetched but more likely to me:
1. Some intelligence agency running voice recognition on YouTube videos.
2. Parallel construction, where he was actually caught via another source (like a tip) and they decided to say they detected via YouTube to obscure the true source.
