I have to also wonder how they decided which establishments would qualify as "internet cafes" for flyer distribution. . . .
I don't think the FBI did!
I suspect that the FBI simply created the original flyers and then sent them out (probably as PDF files) to local and state law enforcement agencies that they thought could use them. (There's a long list in the SLATT/SAR program documentation of LEAs participating from the beginning.)
It was then likely left as an 'exercise for the recipient' to decide to which businesses within their area of authority they would distribute the appropriate flyers. The local/state LEAs could also modify the flyers as they saw fit, also (and apparently quite a few did). Having neatly disposed of the distribution effort (from their perspective), the FBI then sat back and waited for the tips to start rolling in.
Now, the local LEAs probably thought that the original flyers, when received, were great stuff -- and then they started working on how to identify what businesses to contact. I suspect that many of them quickly found this was a time-intensive labor-consuming activity and then simply decided to post them on their publicly accessible websites.
End of story.
