Am I reading into this right? The court declared he must hand over the private key to the SSL encryption on his server so the government could do as they wished with the traffic... and then Levison revoked the key, thus making it useless to everyone?



He shut down the site, so unless they've been capturing all the encrypted data and the sessions didn't have forward secrecy, the key was already useless.
