"A child pornography investigation led by the FBI and dubbed Operation Candyman targeted Yahoo Groups users and resulted in the arrest of more than 100 people in the United States."

The FBI likely told them to keep it operational and provide information to them for as many surfers / users as possible, which lead to the arrests of the 100 people.

I don't think they're get a penny, or if they do, then Yahoo could / should sue the FBI / government for damages caused by their request / activities, even though they were the morale and right thing to do.
