I would bet someone just ratted on him then they just traced back from his identity to obtain evidence. He was running the market for years, they would have got him much sooner if they were actually tracing BTC. They will always put out information in a manner that overstates their abilities, it's a psychological trick.
I predict ratting out colleagues, neighbors, even friends and family may soon become a part of our reality in the near future. Mind your OPSEC.
This guy was a scumbag, he shut down the market and stole money from users. Then he tried to extort more money by threatening to publish shipping addresses, as if they had any value.

The Holy Grail - anonymous physical shipping addresses - the place where privacy and security meet.
