From the case update I heard on Free Talk Live tonight, who has activists embedded in the court room as it is, the judge isn't allowing any testimony about Karpeles being DPR in the court so, again, part of Ross' defense is being sabotaged yet once more in plain sight. No doubt this case has gotten 'stronger' since he was arrested. The goal posts have kept moving and the referees/judge isn't on his side. And, certainly the discovery process as written by the judge isn't on his side either.

From what the docs say, they caught Ulbritch "red handed" hands on the keys, talking to SA while working the site. Just 3rd party evidence mind you, but, the article linked above mainly draws out how in "digital" crimes the cops need to attach physical perps/actions/evidence.
By the looks of it, they did this.

All wishes for Libertarian Utopia aside, Ulbritch looks guilty, and trying any lie he can. Just sayin'

I'm not sure it's being sabotaged. It just sounds like a bullshit excuse from Ross. If he had anything concrete on Karpales they would've presented or released it. He's just desperately clutching at straws and regardless of your opinion of him it's his own fault he's in this position. Like the article mentions the caught him in the act redhanded.
