He has US based servers - perhaps it was "give us your logs, or we take your servers" (speculation). I just figured I know the guy more than the people here - or at least, used to and from what I could tell he was a good guy who tried to to do the right thing. That's all I can say.

It's a bit like Hushmail. Compare their new advice to customers about how Hushmail will comply with law enforcement; to the point of creating new malicious Java software and pushing that out secretly to the 'target' / 'victim' to compromise their communication.

Hushmail states all this clearly, allowing new customers to make an informed choice.

Is his infrastructure that complex?

Is this not just some deploy script on a bunch of VPSs?
