Do you need them to explicitly spell it out for you? I don't know what they're claiming and tbh don't really care. From what I could tell you were also charging people, is that true? Call it 'donations' or whatever you want, but smh if money was changing hands for whatever reason at all. I'm aware access was free. There are generally two situations where things like this are prosecuted, the upstream guys and the guys involved where money changes hands. It's not about ethics or you vs. the company doing the same thing but charging for it, it's about covering your own ass.

Nicknames are more than enough to go on, even if they weren't hard to find before you've now ousted exactly who is involved in a really high profile way. Discord is not your friend in situations like this.

I'm not surprised they now want you and everyone connected to you gone, what do you expect when you publicize, shine the spotlight on and start telling everyone who will listen about what has been going on between you and a group of people who are doing illegal things?

Look, your idea is a good one but it could have been thought out more. You've got terrible opsec and are plastering names left right and center. I'd start going in to damage control mode and deleting everything you can to do with this drama, because screaming the loudest isn't the right way to go about things like this. You're just burning bridges and painting targets on peoples backs, yourself included.

Good luck dude, I sincerely hope this just blows over in a couple of days.
