Yeah the whole thing is odd, especially since they disclosed it as a response instead of in the disclosure thread the first comment mentioned.
Comment on AirVPN discloses server seized in 2015

Such a strange comment.
Surely they kept it private because it’s bad for business. Then they randomly respond with this on a forum post?

I dunno, if my VPN came out and said “heads up, one of our servers was seized and you have literally nothing to worry about because nothing is stored or logged on our servers,” that’s good news IMO. Obviously the best case scenario is not having it seized, but sometimes that’s not possible, and it’s a mark of a good VPN when the consequences to you of a server being seized are the same as if it wasn’t (i.e., none).

Yeah disclosure is alwaysbgood its just odd the way the handled it
-no official post -makes the announcement as a reply to a forum post (which came off like they werent even planning to disclose at all) -all of a sudden has a 7 year wait time on disclosures -not written super prpfessionally (i tend to assume english is a 2nd language for the staff but still as an orginization the staff should be a bit more refined).

Seven years is standard for gov record retention. It probably wasn’t their timeline.

I agree, if they said this 7 years ago…
