All I know about this is through logical reasoning which is how I discovered the bots to begin with (emacs the doctor and complex questioning outside an AI bots capabilities). Think about it, how could Antifa /BLM organize riots across America being in one city one day and another the next? Logical thinking would tell you that they didn't have these conversations while they were looting, burning down buildings, nor smashing citizens heads into the ground with skateboards or motorcycle helmet.
Private IPs on the same network would be too risky, although these people are pretty arrogant and stupid. They would have to setup a clone network that could be setup and utilized in minutes and then after use a quick destroy and dispose. Today's software does this all day long on Amazon Web Services with concepts like SAAS (Software as a service, FAAS (Functions as a Service) and software such as Kubernetes.
G0! Elon.
