Got it in one - at least, that's the ATF's thought and I can't say I blame them.
Anyone that bought one of those off of ebay probably ought to have a fairly high pucker factor. I'd be looking for some way to show I still had it but that it could in NO way be used as the guts of a silencer. Maybe bent severely or the like, so it can't even be installed safely. If they will charge someone for having an oil filter adapter, I would bet they would charge a person for one of these. I would guess that they are already compiling the list of customers from ebay. The day after they get a conviction (edit: conviction of Mr See), they'll likely be visiting those customers.

I am one of those folks hoping that the hearing protection act, or similar, can get some traction.
