Even if he is formating all the things: You can't be sure that any middle/exit/guard node is compromised. How do you know I am one of the good guys with my nodes? You can't. I could role play here and in reality be a member of the super secret society of the supreme awesome bunnies to take over the world with the help of compromising TOR nodes.
TOR is not perfect, but it is the best we have. And we have strength in numbers :)

@ Tristan re: "What happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" Please note I already said "This particular case is perhaps not so clear cut"
@ Markus re: "How do you know a exit server is compromised?" You don't always know. With any skill on the attacker's part, you will NOT know. Still, sometimes attackers do stupid things, like run sslstrip, otherwise try to man-in-the-middle SSL, etc.
As I already said, this particular case is not so clear cut. However letting the police poke around on the hardware is a really good reason not to trust it! I mean, I'd personally burn it all down and start over. Looks like that's what the Seattle operators are already doing, so this is perhaps a moot discussion.
