Identity-stealing sockpuppet troll finally crosses line, gets just desserts

Not sure if this is Bin material or War Room material...
"Australi Witness" (the Australian ISIS supporter who inspired the shootings in Garland, Texas in May), "Tanya Cohen" (the Australian human rights activist who caused a stir on various social media with a series of increasingly shrill articles on Thought Catalog demanding that the United States adopt draconian anti-hate-speech laws), another Thought Catalog writer who wrote equally shrill rebuttals to Tanya Cohen, white supremacist "Michael Slay", and the anonymous person who stole Australian lawyer Josh Bornstein's identity to write a genocidal screed on the Times of Israel's blog, were all evidently the same person: a 20-year-old Florida shut-in named Joshua Goldberg.
Who has just been arrested for giving bomb-making recipes to an FBI stool pigeon, in his "Australi Witness" persona.
Some people have far too much spare time, and no better idea what to do with it than to spread discord on the Internet. And, apparently, not enough sense to realize that "I was just trolling, lol" won't fly as an excuse when the FBI comes knocking at their door.
Personally, I just wonder what the dude had against Australia? Both his jihadist and his strawman-SJW personae were Australian, as was the real person whose identity he chose to steal to punk the Times of Israel.
