ISPs and telcos keep very detailed logs and will turn them over to law enforcement in the event of an investigation. They will be able to tell who and where the registered user was, right down to cell tower the signal came from and (possible) geolocation of the device the packets originated at. What they may not be able to prove was who made the post. The IP information is only going to identify the device the message was posted from, not the actual user.
