It's a shame. He was very good at finding permits early in the process, so as a Supercharger nerd it's disappointing to lose that.
 
Any explanation regarding this suspension? Did he had access to insider news or was he only searching information accessible to anyone?
Based on that farewell message, he found internal Tesla document(s) that were accidentally attached to a permit, probably by a municipal employee or the engineering firm hired for the site design. He was already mad that Twitter had suspended his account, so he posted those documents out of spite, thinking that because a government organization posted them, that automatically put them in the public domain.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure the constitution prevents governments from unjust takings and regardless of who leaked something, unrelated parties can't just come along and knowingly mishandle the information; doubly so if they profit off it in any way. At the very least Marco might have opened himself up to the possibility of a civil suit, so him backing away may be on the advice of a lawyer.
