If you believe someone is doing something illegal than you should report
it to law enforcement. Their job is to investigate and bring charges if
they feel they are warranted. You do not have to be from the USA to
report a crime in the USA.
Here is a list with contact info for the FBI's field offices:

FBI Headquarters: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/fbi-headquarters
List of overseas offices for those of you not in the US that want to
talk to someone local: https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/legal-attache-offices
Most network operators are not law enforcement or lawyers.

A DDoS attack is illegal. In the United States it is considered as theft of
service. The legal construct used is that the DDoS attack is a theft of CPU
cycles, compute resources, and power by other than the rightful owner for its
intended purposes.

hyperbole. it is not criminal. you just don't happen to like it.
Actually, as someone pointed out, it might well be conspiracy - which
is criminal.
In general, the conspiracy isn't criminal if the conspired act isn't criminal.
If you're trying to make a criminal conspiracy out of non-criminal acts, your
best bet is probably finding a new way to abuse the RICO statutes.
