Who is Ross:
A visionary and the creator of The Silk Road, the first large online marketplace, commonly referred to as a darknet market. He was caught and sentenced to two life sentences + 40 years with no chance of parole. By comparison, El Chapo, a man who has been responsible for killing thousands of people and importing billions of dollars worth of drugs, only got a single life sentence. Ross is just a computer nerd who got trapped by informants and then used as a martyr.
Did Ross hire a hitman:
The prosecution was never able to prove Ross authored any of the online anonymous chats and text files the allegations solely relied on. There is hard evidence and testimony—even from the government’s lead investigator—showing that multiple people operated the top administrator account under the “DPR” handle. In addition, Maryland is where rampant corruption occurred and the allegations were based on information provided by corrupt agent Carl Mark Force, who had unfettered access to Silk Road and admittedly took over accounts and “sought deliberately to undermine the integrity of the ongoing investigation.”[6][7] Carl Force and Shaun Bridges, another corrupt agent, had full admin privileges to Silk Road, meaning they could usurp control of any account, including that of DPR, and change anything in the Silk Road database, such as forum posts and chat messages.[8][9] Both Force and Bridges were sent to prison for their crimes related to the Silk Road investigation.
The now-dismissed, unprosecuted Maryland indictment referenced the alleged planned “murder” of Curtis Green, a Silk Road administrator. When the government filed a criminal complaint against Force in March 2015, it revealed that Force had “faked Green’s death,” and as with the other accusations, no one was actually killed.[10][11] Curtis Green himself, the only alleged “victim” ever identified in these false allegations used against Ross, is a longtime, fervent supporter of Ross’s release.
In a 2018 public interview, Curtis Green revealed how his own chat logs had been manipulated, presumably by Bridges or Force. “I went through all my old posts from me, and I didn’t write that…It looked totally foreign to me…It didn’t ring a bell…And it was all very detrimental, it made me look bad.” [14]
In the same interview, Green added:
“When I saw the [murder-for-hire] transcripts,” they were “[in line with Force’s] narrative, exactly what he portrayed. So was it there or did they put it there?
Corruption in the investigation:
