So the A-Team dox were a bunch of rubbish? (or perhaps that was already confirmed and I missed it).

If this report is right, then those d0x were BS:

    Now we have Topiary.  Probably the lamest one of the bunch.  He doesn't
    actually do anything except give interviews.  There are plenty of logs of
    him all over the internet being a complete idiot.  His "d0x" are all over
    the internet also.  He tries to deny it but there are logs of him bitching
    about being d0x'ed int he #hq logs that Laurelai leaked.

It's not unreasonable to suspect that a user in the Shetlands Isles might have had a POP in Sweden, or use of a connection in Sweden to host a remote box with a better connection than available to them normally.

Well he can probably see Sweden from his house!

Yea that was Aaron Barr's attempt at 'exposing' anonymous after losing his job in disgrace.
