But not the most we can ask for.

Yes, even if Adobe withdraws its complaint, it's not in its power to dismiss the criminal charges. And there's little likelihood the Feds will return Dmitry's passport and let him leave the country. But Adobe could help get Dmitry out on bail. Why not ask Adobe to
-- post bond,
-- apply for H1-B visa for Dmitry (obviously they've had trouble finding enough competent cryptographers in the USA),
-- fly over his wife and children and house them in the South Bay, and
-- put Dmitry to work on improving Adobe eBook security while his case is working its way through the courts.
