estimated $1.6 mil a month for > 12 months? For a meme generator? I'd say they had a good run.

Those numbers are from Worth of Web which is not reliable source. Were they making bank? Sure, but nowhere near $1m per month. CPM on websites like these is low.
Are there any possible legal repercussions? I mean, yeah, if they made upwards of 12 million dollars from their site then banning it from reddit isn't exactly going to hurt them...
I guess Reddit could complain to the DA and press charges under CFAA, but the irony would probably cause the internet to implode.
Reddit users were a humongous part of their visitor-base, though. I don't know of many people outside of Reddit who have heard about them.
