the article said they even went into the homes of the site's owners, which implies they figure they were in on it?

The article (and most other articles reporting on this) lists FOSTA as a major reason. I would think if the site's owners were directly involved in sex trafficking, the feds would have gone after them with or without that. I don't know too much about backpage though, so I'm in the dark apart from what I read about it.
