Monitor the transactions, collect evidence, get warrants, seize things, collect evidence, get arrest warrants, etc.

if someone is dumb enough to register with a real name, the amount of time needed to coordinate it can be reduced.

like with the 911S5 botnet, they got evidence over the years to build a case to arrest them.

if it's a large group of people, it may take time or a turncoat to slowly gain evidence on the other parties.

seizure of assets in those countries required the police and courts in those countries to have probable cause that yeah it was definitely related to the crime and necessitated seizure in a coordinated fashion. This is similar to the coordinated quiet takeover of a darkweb market, or the coordinated spooky takedown of another, to scare criminals onto the bugged one.
