Does anyone know if Arko can have legal troubles (like being sued) if it can be proven he "removed authorized users" from RubyCentral AWS account?

at least a misdemeanor. most of the time its prosecuted, a felony.

RubyCentral is a legal entity and they paid him for his work so they definitely could take action against him if he was shown to have harmed users or the company in any way.
Legal recourse is an interesting omission from their update, especially considering this was surely approved by their attorney(s).
