According to Wikipedia "Email that is stored on a third party's server for more than 180 days is considered by the law to be abandoned. All that is required to obtain the content of the emails by a law enforcement agency is a written statement certifying that the information is relevant to an investigation, without judicial review"

Can the team provide sources for what they claim? Because I cannot find anything related to this affirmation, and it's the only one that I have double checked so far because it seemed unlikely to me.

On a more personal note, I am actually quite happy that whistleblowers can access emails, and presenting Edward Snowden as a cybercriminal is quite laughable if you ask me.

I also find it interesting that each member of the team has 4 Linkedin connections, when the team is made out of 5 people. Looks like someone created fake profiles and added each member of the team.

But again, I can be wrong.
