if "you" say that it is possible only because the defense's mention Mark Karpeles as being "the pirate" then you have to say that the defense's mention of Mark Karpeles's ownership of the site Bitcointalk.org too  In the beginning he has hosted bitcointalk.org ( and this is why he has got the "VIP" rank) , read this post : MagicalTux got "free" VIP status for hosting the forum for a long time, too. I think that him plus Hal are the only free donator statuses I gave out. You'd have to do something pretty extraordinary to convince me to give out another free one.
I don't see any point in donating 5 BTC now and then 5 BTC later. You won't get Donator status until you've donated a total of at least 10 BTC. It'd be better for you to earn interest on the 5 BTC somewhere until you're ready to pay 10 BTC. The forum isn't in need of money.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

"The trial of alleged Silk Road ringleader Ross Ulbricht took a surprising twist today when a witness from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) apparently claimed that Mark Karpeles, former CEO of the embattled bitcoin exchange Mt Gox, was once suspected to be the black market's mastermind, Dread Pirate Roberts."

I don't know if he was the real DPR, or if he was involved in Silk Road in any way. BUT I JUST LOVE TO PUT ANY KIND OF BLAME ON THAT FAT SUCKER SCAMMER! HE WAS THE ONE !!  |

I don't think there would be much proof to implicate him. But would have been nice if some solid evidence had emerged. |

Yes , at the end (maybe) he is not implicated in the SilkRoad story. ... but I'm not sure. Let see what will happen here, it would be funny if karpeles was satoshi  . |

I am not 100% sure why (it may have been because he was hosting the forum), but the FBI at one point thought that MK had owned bitcointalk. As much as I would love to see MK go to jail, I somewhat doubt that he will because of any involvement in silk road |

The evidence the government had that Mark was the owner of Silk Road was similar to the evidence that he owned bitcointalk. He hosted both sites for some period of time. Although this does give some level of connection it is not a definitive connection (although it could explain why he was unwilling to be interviewed in the US). It could potentially create some level of reasonable doubt in the Jury's mind |
