This thread is now full of paranoia, hehe.
1) Not sure that tracking of the site IP can help you to track its owner' IP anyhow, site IP will only show you where server is located, nothing more or less, so more likely its just waste of time.
2) We did most likely all we can do atm, we made that scammer's Google adsense account banned - I was one of those who wrote to Google adsense, guy was abusing their privacy policy and TOS hard, a) they don't accept faucets in case of high CPM and low click rate - adsense thinks its really dirty kind of traffic; b) he had 5 google ads per page, and max allowed by them is 3 ads. All this was explained in my abuse report to Google adsense.
At least he will not get ad revenue earned by his fraud activity.
About getting farther - not sure that google will share the site owner's personal info with any of us, they care about privacy of their users, no matter what those do.
What @Slow death suggested - it might work, https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx - is the way, but remember that all transactions were in BTC, the currency which was made as anonymous, so when things come to proof that coins were sent to someone - you have trouble.

Untrue. This person left plenty of information online. Even if IPs are mixed, like bitcoin transactions, patterns can be discovered through analysis and broken down. Sharing a server with others is absolutely not a way to guarantee privacy.

You probably don't read what I write, there is no way to get owners IP/location other than contacting with the hosting provider - if he paid to the Whois protection service, by passing through cloudflare reverse IP mask all you can do is to get the location of server where site is based, so it gives nothing at all...
So yes, he left plenty of info, but he have also paid to the right people to leave all this info hidden, I doubt there is any way to track him now, other than scratching it from Google, but, as I told, they will protect his personal info no matter what he ve done. They wouldn't protect him so hard if there were serious proofs of what he ve done, but all we have are a) words of people without any kind of identity on the forum of the first ever anonymous cryptocurrency; b) bunch of proofing nothing letters/codes - BTC transactions. It will take crapload of time to only proof that you are you, and that your cryptomoney were sent to that site - not somewhere else, and that money were really yours.
I don't say its impossible, I just say its really hard, and if someone is ready to spend his time hunting the shadow of that scammer, that person must be ready to spend much time collecting info, proofs, contacting with many instances etc etc.
Anyway, I feel like I ll be infected with all this paranoia if I spend more time talking at this thread.
