I think the key word you're overlooking is "most", as in "most of the core team" took steps to be anonymous, not all (steps that, for all we know, may never have worked).

"– We do not know how, but he had managed to track us. We were quite unsettled. We thought it was a scare tactic. And we were frightened. None of us were anonymous anymore. They knew where we worked, where we lived."
I'm just saying, I imagine they wouldn't be scared about it if it was a big net fishing for info. Could be sensationalism for the story though.
Whilst I'm not all about the ethics of multinationals, there is a strong presumption that those 'anonymous' members were anywhere near as thorough as they say or thought they were in not leaving breadcrumbs (witness DPR and Silk Road).
