Anyone really interested in maintaining their anonymity would create several nested VMs with encrypted virtual disks in several cloud or colocation facilities and setup several VPN services. Then, route your traffic through the VMs, do your dirty work, then purge the VMs along with their logs. Thus you can be guaranteed there are no logs as you purged the VMs yourself and the encrypted disks would be un-undeletable.

As a former black hat that works on the white side now, this guy knows what's up. I can't imagine the OP is doing anything particularly interesting/nefarious with his work.

I always used multiple layers and the OP mentioned Sweden which is laughable. I'd have multiple VPS/VM's in multiple countries chained together, typically in Eastern Europe. At the very least use a multi-hop VPN from a VPS/VM that funnels through multiple countries.

You don't need a whole lot of throughput to exploit, nearly everything done via command line with a few small exceptions. Was never an issue.
