It's amazing to me how people can be pointed to literally where in a charging document you can find where the government actually included murder-for-hire as part of the charges against Ulbricht and yet "people here" can still manage to avoid seeing it...


Except presumption of innocence is supposed to be a cornerstone of the american justice system. Until that he hired a killer is proven in a criminal court, we all ought to refrain from making the assumption that such accusations in any way reflect the truth of the matter.


His complicity in murder-for-hire was part of Count One of the indictment. The jury convicted him on all Counts.

Ergo, his involvement in murder-for-hire has been proven in a criminal court, and I will feel free to repeat that fact ad nauseum.
