“Attempting murder”?

Hey Brunswick, maybe you should familiarize yourself with the Ulbricht case before spouting off demonstrably false nonsense like that.  It is public information, after all. 

For “attempted murder,” a court would have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he attempted to kill someone.  However, in the Ulbricht case, the judge determined that *did not* happen.

You are confusing that with the allegations that Ross agreed to pay a contract to kill someone. 

And yet, Ross was never charged at trial with “murder for hire” and thus this charge was never ruled on by a jury. In fact, these unproven and unprosecuted allegations were dismissed *with prejudice* in 2018. 

What did happen?  During the trial, prosecutors alleged that he discussed and paid a contract, but this was only presented as evidence by the prosecutors and was weak. Why weak?  Because “the accusations relied on anonymous chats and text files never proven to have been authored by Ross.  Hard evidence and testimony, including from the lead Silk Road investigator, showed that, over time, multiple people were behind the site admin’s DPR handle.  Most significantly, two corrupt investigators (who later sent to prison) also had unfettered access to Silk Road and were admittedly involved in numerous plots.”

Ross has always denied being involved with these allegations, and even Curtis Green, the only alleged victim ever identified, is a longtime, fervent supporter of Ross’s release. 

 Am I the only one that has this question? No
