The owner of the encrypted email service used by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden says he could face criminal charges for refusing to comply with a secret federal court order issued last week. Ladar Levison abruptly shut down his company, Lavabit LLC, last week to avoid being forced to hand over customers personal information and communications. James Trump, a senior litigation counsel at the US attorneys office in Alexandria, Virginia, contacted Levinsons lawyer on August 8 - the day Levinson ended Lavabits services, NBC News reported. The attorney was told that Levison had violated the court order, leading to speculation that he may be charged with contempt of court.
