It's per user. Each user creates 2 transactions to force eject themselves from the pool, which puts their channel on chain. Then they do another 2 transactions to force close their channel, because if the admin disappeared from the pool, he probably disappeared as a routing node too. (If he didn't stop routing transactions to LN, the users wouldn't need to force eject; they could just exit via LN.) So it's 4 transactions to exit altogether if the admin becomes malicious.

Hmm...I wonder how you can determine whether he's malicious or not. Maybe there could be a utxo that he timelocks, such that if he disappears, the timelock will run out, and at that point, users can do one thing with that utxo: pay for their exits. But I suppose if he is honest he will want that money back, so then to get it back I suppose he'd have to prove each user exited. I'm not sure how to do that, I'll have to think about it.
