The FBI can uncover the VPN cover in a matter of seconds

Any proof for this statement ? Just curious if it's a personal opinion or you have some valid arguments...

Here:

That's the main thing here. If you pick the wrong proxy/VPN and you do something illegal you're done for. We've had several reports of VPN's giving data to governments in the past.
Finding a VPN that is secure (strong encryption), reliable and one that keeps no logs isn't as easy as it seems.

I am not saying that all VPN providers are collaborating with the FBI. But quite a lot of them (even those who are located outside the US) do it, resulting in users facing harassment from the governmental authorities.
