For the record, here's what Matthew Prince (aka DakotaEast) said on hackernews with regards to this:

In short, Prince decided that rather than let law enforcement contact Josh and handle this like they always had, they instead would become law enforcement themselves because letting the actual legal authorities do their job "would take to long."
To repeat what I said on Poast, the biggest problem facing the internet is that all the major chokepoints are controlled by Silicon Valley corps., and the people in charge of those Silicon Valley corps. all think they're smarter than everyone else and have a fucking God complex.
