It seems pretty simple. PVPN keeps logs of when end users connect. Google keeps logs of which IPs access accounts.

Google discloses that the victims account was accessed by a set of IPs. Those IPs are known to belong to PureVPN. A list of people connecting to those IPs as clients is requested by the FBI. The connection logs validate their suspicions.

Or, you know, Google told the authorities. All I see is that PureVPN keeps the user's email on file.

Also login time, connecting IP and logout time. So no traffic is stored, just that you logged in and were connected for X amount of time.

You're alleging that PureVPN decrypts communication between the user and gmail. That's an even bigger claim than the article.

I'm not alleging that. I'm closer to alleging that the article is wrong.
