This does not immediately look authentic. Why would a letter like this be "signed" by the CEO instead of a member of Amazon's legal department?

Also curious that it specifically mentioned 'jhprotominer', a miner for 'protoshares', which appear to be related to 'bitshares'; yet another cryptocurrency that's about 2 months old. Interesting that of all the articles mining LiteCoin on AWS, there's been no such issues.
I can't decide if someone's trying to get protoshares into the news, or scare miners off them. But I do have a hard time taking this one at face value.
