Has it ever been found out how authorities discovered the location of the original Silk Road server in Iceland?

I'm just thinking now and curious if the REAL way the authorities discovered the original Silk Road server in Iceland has ever been found out.

Authorities have said they discovered the location of the server due to a CAPTCHA misconfiguration which revealed the IP address (lol). This explanation is so laughably obvious (to the point that it's borderline-insulting) that it's FBI bullshit, that even a somewhat-computer-savvy will know that this explanation doesn't make technical sense.

How did authorities discover the real location of the original Silk Road server in Iceland?

there was an article on it, whether or not its true is another story.

the story goes that the guy who owned it, a LOOOONG time ago, posted on a forum once or twice with his unique handle. the feds found the account and traced it.
