They would rather not live in the assumption that they are responsible by proxy/neglect.

    They are, or I wouldn’t be posting here, but I sincerely thank you for your concern and advice.

  Since merely knowing what the OP knows already likely implicates him in at least one felony, you (and he) might want to think about that very carefully.

  It's either that or probably go to prison. I know what I'd pick :)

Option 5: Take the money and run Seriously though, I'd just contact Brian Krebs and go from there.

  Krebs is not a bad idea as he would cover not only the leak but the (allegedly) shady nature of the service. He’s read by a lot of serious people including law enforcement and national security. Negotiate your own anonymity with him BEFORE you provide any actual info (this goes for all reporters BTW). Another option is to drop a write-up in The NY Times or Washington Post Secure Drop TOR service. They both have serious info security reporters. No guarantee any of these options will pick up the story, of course.
