If this guy was a larger company with a good reputation and documented privacy policies like Foursquare has then it's quite possible his app wouldn't have been removed.

But the fact is this VPN app looks awfully similar to those dodgy apps we saw on Facebook which were pretending to be some useful app but were secretly selling your data to third parties. And since he is just a small time app developer we (and by extension Apple) can't completely trust that he isn't doing that.
