Mordac, Can I add you on LinkedIn? I think it'd be a good career move to have connections with some data werewolves...

Maybe Mordac stole the data himself, sold it on and using a fraction of the profit to frame some someone else.There are only two reasons to store passwords unencrypted (or poorly encrypted so they can be decoded) on your servers.
1) For nefarious purposes (xkcd.com/792)
2) You are an idiot

@nexfraxinusThe same way as FaceBook.
You count all the users accounts made since day one. And you never really erase a user (although you might tell them that you do). That way even the users that left disgusted after the first login count.
