Apple refused protecting their bottom line. Then this iPhone was soon "decrypted by a group of hackers" IIRC. Good PR and not a penny wasted for the 3mo coverage all over the nets.

1. There is no crime-story on the warrant
2. Check prices of legal representation in the Switzerland first. For "ultimate plan"/yr sum you can buy a few microseconds of lawyer time.

@ohir @malwaretech I mean, the first link I found indicated that it is negotiable [ https://www.getyourlawyer.ch/en/lawyer/fees/ ], but I find it surprising that ProtonMail isn't paying for lawyers just as a cost of business. Maybe they don't have trial lawyers that are more expensive, but they couldn't as a Non-Profit find a lawyer to do it pro bono? This would be an amazing case for them, whether they won or not.
