Concerns over Mega's encryption regime

http://j.mp/Wb41jN  (ars technica)

   "Mega has an entire page dedicated to explaining to developers how its
    API works, and the page contains some high-level details of what
    encryption methods the service uses and where they're used. There are
    actually several different things going on, and it's not as simple (or
    as secure) as it appears at first blush."

Frankly, I can't think of a single reason why anyone would want to
entrust data to this particular service.  It has an enormous target
painted on it -- from both technical and legal standpoints.
