Minimally, he gave them an "illegible copy." in 4 point font.Assuming its the actual key, I'm sure the FBI or NSA can OCR that. Even if parts of it are screwed up, SSL private keys actually have a fair amount of structure in them(at least enough to recover from someone writer "FUCK A DUCK" over and over again over part of one [0]) and even if say half the bits of the key give are illegible totally, the rest give you more than enough to factor it.
