I'm more curious about how the police were able to transfer the operation to servers under their control. Maybe Docker? Haha. My first guess would be that the admins were lazy and never encrypted their systems. Or maybe the cops got them to spill out the password (or hacked it out of one of their systems).
In another hypothetical, I wonder if one can give one's lawyer the (password-protected) decryption key, and he can only release it when one signs a letter saying "I hereby request the keys under my own will with no duress.". If the cops are making him hand over the keys, the lawyer knows that's bullshit and can't legally be allowed to handover said key...
