I'm surprised they didn't announce they're going into hiding instead. I'd imagine they probably have themselves covered with user agreements and contracts to some extent, but the potential liability is nearly incalculable.
I mean isn't closing up shop for certificates kind of giving a reason for them to toss/burn all evidence before its asked for
"Oh sorry, we erased the evidence because we no longer had use for it"
I don't know what jurisdiction this would potentially fall in, but in the USA that would be a pretty straightforward crime. Tampering with evidence & obstruction of justice.
