"Levison said that he could be arrested for closing the site instead of
releasing the information, and it was reported that the federal
prosecutor's office had sent Levison's lawyer an e-mail to that effect.”

That's exactly the example I was going to post, thank you. Yes, the feds
can force you to keep your compromised site up; basically, anything you
might do to warn users is verboten.
Someone flaming uncharacteristically could be one of the only ways... and,
it *is* old data.
If this is the case, and that's a very tentative IF, there is not much else
he can do (and he did as much as he could without putting himself in legal
hot water.)
