Hm, i wonder why Silent Circle just went ahead and shutdown their relativly young and unknown mailservice without any clear reason other than to use the opportunity to do get some publicity for their other secure services. Lavabit was alot bigger than Silent Circle and this announcement seems a bit suspicious to me. I might me totally wrong, but going ahead and shutting down the service on the same day a popular competitor does without any clear reason while at the same time embracing their other still running services seems a bit strange to me.
