As with most things I think the truth is somewhere between both the events you've outlined and the events Levison has outlined. It's not mutually exclusive, nor unlikely, that it did take Levison 11 days of searching to try and find an attorney who knew this area and was available AND that the DoJ wanted a much swifter response and grew impatient as the delay put the evidence at risk and so perceived the delay as stalling. I agree with you on your subsequent comment that I'd rather trust OpenPGP with encryption, but on the sequence of events... there's nothing to say that both sides are not true at the same time, and that all motive/reason behind the events on the timeline are open to subjective interpretation.
