“Ladar Levison had a thriving business. His encrypted email service was heavily used by corporate users that valued protecting their trade secrets. The Obama administration, however, stepped in and crushed this American success story. The DOJ is looking to nail Mr. Levison with the $10,000 fine. In a just-filed appellate brief it writes: ‘Mr. Levison [illegally] alerted all of Lavabit’s users, including the target of the investigation, that Lavabit was engaged in litigation with the government and that, rather than comply with the court’s orders, he decided to shut down his business. [..] It was within the district court’s power to compel the production of those keys.'”
