From the article: "The registration information bounces between
multiple countries and never actually identifies the source. And they
were all registered recently. If you talk to any cybersleuths about
identity theft, spam, online fraud, scams, and fronts, they will tell
you that misleading registration and bouncing between countries is a
big red flag. This is some type of front. And it's deep enough to
either be organized crime or a nation-state." Does it mean that
several percent of exit traffic go through nodes that are likely to be
"organized crime or a nation-state"?

PS. "and 8am in Moscow" was really unnecessary in the article. 1.
Nothing in the investigation points to Russia/Moscow. 2. Russian
hackers is a tired joke. 3. Russian IT people in Moscow hardly start
working at 8am :-)
