I am not a lawyer either but unless the facebook account was perhaps used in the commission of a crime I fail to see how he could order that in the first place.

From the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy...Douglas Adams.

I hope that not only the KS campaign and the project itself is going to have some really cool results. Some of which would have not never occurred to folks.
Congrats for having the cojones to give it a whirl!
