They should use this guy to see if they can sniff out connections. With that large of an amount I’m pretty sure there must have been some torrenting of those files.
His name is Richard Belden, and it sounds like he's a real piece of work. He had a history of some sort, so his sentencing didn't go like he thought it would. On February 6, 2020 he was looking at 210 to 230 months but the judge decided to change it to 420 months (35 years). If the guy gets out, he'll be in his seventies and he will be supervised the rest of his life. Buh-bye, Richard!

Because you possess it, you're giving the creator validation and incentive to further abuse those children which, in fact, obviously, can ruin their lives. That's why you'll often get years in prison and a sex offender registration for even the first offense of posessing child porn. Does that make sense?
I understand why its illegal, I've just always seen as a sort of technicality that makes sense to me in general, but I can't say that I find possessing that stuff to be heinous in itself.
