The privacy policy [4] does not appear to be linked from the homepage, but you can reach it through search. It's devoid of any meaningful content, though. The company appears to be a shell registered in Cyprus [5]. The address on an older SSL certificate [6] matches the one in the registry.

As they accepted payments through paypal, it'll be easy for law enforcement to track down the owner. PayPal is very cooperative in these cases (as any bank). A shell company won't help them if someone knows where they have their office. The criminal offence isn't against the company anyway, it'll be against natural persons working for the company. But the worst that can happen for them short term is that PayPal (and credit card vendors if they use them) block their account if they get too many charge backs as a result of that.
