Totally *not* casting doubt on this possibility (above), but I think it'd be interesting: does anyone know of any cases in which this has happened? Not "I'm willing to bet" or "I suspect" but *some* proof, however circumstantial. Not talking about estimations that UltraSurf's privacy policy isn't up to snuff. Not talking about Riseup refusing to deny having responded to an FBI demand to access someone's mailbox. Not even talking about a VPN which helped an LEA catch a serial axe murderer. I mean, a proxy/VPN service which seems to have "betrayed" its customers, or its customers' traffic, to an LEA, in a manner which 90% of this list would agree is "wrong" (not legal or illegal, just wrong).
