I seem to be missing the word "arrest". Most likely through some manipulation of tor they were able to find and break into the server. That "wealth of information" probably led to clues which led to more which eventually led to them making the arrest not in July but yesterday.
Read the whole article. I'll quote more for you.

The government says it identified Ulbricht after a routine border search of a package that contained nine counterfeit IDs. The package was shipped from Canada to an address in San Francisco. When the government visited the San Francisco address, they found Ulbricht there.
The government then identified the primary Silk Road server and obtained an image of its hard drive in July, providing the federal government with a wealth of information about the Silk Road's operations.

It says because of the fake id's they found him there, then they talk about finding the server, and they mention July.
Indeed.
