My Fellow Users,

I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes 
against the
American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting 
down Lavabit.
After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations. I wish 
that I
could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I 
feel you
deserve to know what's going on--the first amendment is supposed to guarantee 
me the
freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has 
passed laws that
say otherwise. As things currently stand, I cannot share my experiences over 
the last six
weeks, even though I have twice made the appropriate requests.

What's going to happen now? We've already started preparing the paperwork 
needed to
continue to fight for the Constitution in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. 
A favorable
decision would allow me resurrect Lavabit as an American company.

This experience has taught me one very important lesson: without congressional 
action or a
strong judicial precedent, I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone trusting 
their
private data to a company with physical ties to the United States.

Sincerely,
Ladar Levison
Owner and Operator, Lavabit LLC
