[tor-relays] FYI: Subpoena Received

[Colin Childs]

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let people know that I have seen this thread and am looking into what may be going on. 

If anyone else received these but does not feel comfortable posting about them on the list, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly with anything you feel comfortable sharing. I am not able to provide legal advice, but if this looks like a situation where legal advice will be required, I have some contacts who may be able to provide assistance.

Thank you for running exit relays.
