No it has to be turned down flat.

Huge companies from the USA at all events are untrustworthy. The only
trustworthy companies are such companies: "I have been forced to make a
difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American
people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down
Lavabit." - http://lavabit.com/

"Levison said that he could be arrested for closing the site instead of
releasing the information, and it was reported that the federal
prosecutor's office had sent Levinson's lawyer an e-mail to that
effect." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavabit

There can't be any doubts about it, Verisign will do what they can do to
make FreeBSD insecure. Nothing good will contributed by them. Not a
single big company from the USA does not cooperate with the NSA, they
all cooperate with the NSA.
