I have presented controversial information, of course i'm going to use a throwaway account.
The fact remains, anyone can do the research i've done and see what i've seen, draw your own conclusions.

Max Klein does not exist. He is an identity created by Mark Essien (www.essien.org).
Mark Essien has two companies registered in the UK one "Qubikle Development LTD" (www.qubikle.com)and a second "Feather & Moor, Ltd" (www.feathermoor.com).
The namesakes of Feather & Moor are Joel Feather and Tracy Moor. BOTH of these individuals don't exist, they are again creations of Mark Essien. The pictures used for Joel are taken from istockphoto (http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-1997908-waiting-for-y...)
whois results for maxkle.in and markessien.com have the same telephone number.
Feather & Moor, Ltd has approaching nearly 300 applications on the appstore. These apps are "cookie cutter" apps that contain pictures and simple text.
The signing identity on the applications names qubikle.
A cursory googling of the text in the screenshots of some of the applications reveals that text is taken from wikipedia and other pages without attribution.
OPINION:
I don't know what the contents of the "other" email was but looking at the apps from "feather & moor ltd" it doesn't strike me that these are wonderful apps of substance targeting niches but instead low quality keyword targeted cookie cutter apps using content without permission.
