Wow, they were a VPS hosting provider. Lots of unhappy customers (and this likely qualifies as a data breach for all of them as well).

Yeah, that could become legally awful. Which is appropriate; it appears $admin ruined a lot of people's days.

I suspect that person will soon have a fair amount of time to decide on what new career to pursue to pay down the fines when they get out...

I suspect they assume it was an ex-admin probably because of timing. There may not be any proof to back up that claim and thus there may be no repercussions.

Until they release specifics if ever, it's hard to know what to make of the status message.
