To be fair, if you google "blown engine m2", this is the first post that comes up (for me, anyways). As to how they could tie it to him, they probably got the "hint" that there was a tune and then checked the computer and found out-of-normal events. I'm pretty sure they would have done that anyways, regardless of forum post...
Every time the ECU's original software is flashed outside of the factory, even by a franchise dealer, it leaves a permanent trace, a number increment to be exact, showing the how many times it was changed.

There is not way around that and is a telltale sign the software was altered.
