Olio CafeSo what happened to archive.today's owner and their data? Was the investigation dismissed?

According to this https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/11/fbi-subpoena-tries-to-unmask-mysterious-founder-of-archive-today/ source, FBI gave Tucows a deadline of 29 November. It has already been 3 days since that date and I see no signs of any action being taken: the archive is operating as usual, and there’s absolutely nothing I could find online about the aftermath of this investigation. Was it dismissed? Did Tucows actually give FBI the owner’s data? If so, are they in a safe place right now?
An FBI investigation isn’t a court case. No charges have been made (that I’ve heard of). They’re trying to identify the person who runs the service first, then go from there. These things take time.
They’re probably operating out of a country where they are legally untouchable for copyright infringement. Or for that matter, just not in a 14 eyes country.
I thought it was 5 eyes
5 eyes originally, 14 eyes effectively through bilateral agreements.

Interesting, thanks for the link
