This is a good *detection* technique, but you cannot filter by volume in
transit if the set of destinations is large (and random) enough, and you
don't have a time machine.  Not sure if this is the case but might as well
be.

As for the detection of the real source, everything is technically possible
but you need certain bargaining power which a medium-sized (at best) VPN
service probably doesn't have.
