Ross Ulbricht faces a potential life sentence starting tomorrow.

[Whitehouse]

If it is true he deserves the prize of dumbest criminal of the recent history

i think he already won with:

- living in the USA, i guess you shouldn't if you run Silk Road
- manage it from a public cafe, open laptop with no encryption
- paying a hitman on internet, proving the crime with a picture (loal)

if he really was the admin, he must be the winner for that prize

Ross is a complete paradox. I think he's a mastermind in some respects and obviously very clever, though it is clear he has also done some ridiculously stupid things. If you're going to run something like a darknet market you need to make sure you're paranoid to the point where it becomes an obsession for you to cover every single one of your tracks. He seemed like he didn't care about certain things and was very sloppy. He didn't even bother mixing his coins and they were traced directly to SR from his own wallet. Very foolish.

At any time, all Ross need do is to give a written notice to the court that he is not the defendant. "At one time I thought it was to my benefit to accept the accusation that I was the defendant. But I now see the error of my ways, and, as a man, I am not the defendant."

If he presses this point, it may take a long time for them to accept that they have jurisdiction over him as a man. If he does it right, they will never gain jurisdiction.
