To be fair, we don't know if the government can actually convict someone of closing a business.
The Thirteenth Amendment makes it pretty clear you can't force a person to work, unless they've been convicted of a crime. There may be an argument that he violated the NSL, but that's not the same thing.
I really wonder if that would directly apply. The most relevant case law I'm familiar with didn't use it, although that was complicated by the Feds requiring state government agents to do things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printz_v._United_States
