If his un-proxied IP was recorded, I wonder what could be done by contacting his ISP? We know his real name, his home address.. I recall seeing a plausible DOB somewhere.

He's lived in NZ since at least 2004:

I suppose it's at least possible he's no longer living in the area and the person whose address is findable is just family.. here in 2008 is selling various household items:
