Ross Ulbricht was not just robbed of over a decade of his life – he was smeared by the US Government as a human being.

While this corner of the internet celebrates his freedom, others are asking why on earth would we would defend an attempted murderer.

I wrote about the murder-for-hire charges against Ross for TheBitcoinConf (nprofile…w22j) – let this be your reminder that:

1️⃣ The agents who investigated Ross, who posed as hitmen and faked Ross' colleague's death, were sentenced to years in prison for corruption, stealing and trying to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from Ross

2️⃣ Both agents had administrative access to the site

3️⃣ According to the Department of Homeland Security, former site administrators, and people with personal contact to Ross, DPR was more than one person

4️⃣ DPR logged into his account while Ross was in prison

5️⃣ All murder-for-hire charges were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they could never be filed again

For all we know, we are all Dread Pirate Roberts 🕊️
