I've seen lots of VPN comparisons that rate VPN providers on what they do and do not log. But who really verifies this? What's to stop VPN provider X from claiming "We don't log anything", while simultaneously streaming a real-time log to any government agency that asks for it?

Definitely a valid point. A recent court case involving VPN provider Private Internet Access seemed to back up their 'no logs' policy.

>“A subpoena was sent to London Trust Media and the only information they could provide is that the cluster of IP addresses being used was from the east coast of the United States,” the FBI’s complaint reads.[1]

Unfortunately, waiting for a court case involving your VPN provider isn't a great way to determine what they log.
