It's an interesting read, but I think the author is stretching too hard to suggest LE only caught him by monitoring the tracker.
Most likely scenario that doesn't involve LE looking at the millions of tracking requests and miraculously plucking this individual out is:
LE seized the package, LE looked to see if anyone was actively tracking, when they saw someone was they started grabbing the other packages he was tracking, and that was the end of our sadsack hero.
