There are resellers in the US who will set you up with the infrastructure to do it yourself. You don't need much and it's less expensive than you'd think, almost turnkey.
Demand is more than high enough in poor areas too, they probably made a really good return before it shut down.
Part of the sentence was to forfeit $1million in profits, I'd say they did pretty well for themselves.
I'm pretty sure the similar exists in other places too. You could host it in AWS in China or Bahrain and save yourself a bunch of risk.
