I would also like to believe the owner of the site has a legitimate reason for the current state of his site.  However, I have less faith in humanity considering to what lengths people will go to secure a massive bitcoin wallet (who only they have the keys to).  I'm guessing the owner will be laying low for quite some time before attempting to move the coins.  I would however be very interested in pursuing the current host of the site.  How could we legally force them to give up their customer information?
