Lyn Ulbricht of FreeRoss.org will be beaming into Decentral Vancouver to update everyone on Ross's case and help raise funds for his Appeal. (You can donate below)
Find out why the Silk Road Trial is the most Important Case of the Digital Age.
Ross Ulbricht was convicted of seven felony counts on February 4, 2015 , based on the accusation that he created and operated the anonymous online marketplace Silk Road, under the pseudonym Dread Pirate Roberts (DPR). The government cites no victims for any of these alleged crimes or their other allegations.
He has been sentenced to life in prison despite numerous amounts of evidence that Dread Pirate Roberts was more than one person, including evidence that Mark Karpeles of Mt. Gox fame was DPR at some time and set Ross up.
Approximately two months after Ross was convicted, it was revealed that two federal agents at DHS Baltimore had been under investigation for nine months, for allegedly stealing and extorting funds from Silk Road, among other crimes.
