Sending the SSL keys to the FBI as a multi-page printout in 4-point font when the government doesn't specify what format it wants is pretty funny. (Page 127 - 137.)

Well, except that as I recall, Lavabit didn't use SSL with PFS, so giving the FBI their SSL keys means that all previously-captured ciphertext is decodable.

Also said "I'm not showing up to court unless you pay me to" - pg. 41 Grand jury subpoena guarantees he would be paid for travel but that subpoena was later withdrawn

  Some of the text was so small the FBI said it was illegible (in their view). Even a single digit wrong would render the entire key useless (B != 8)
