Considering how the trial went, this outcome was completely to be expected.
edit: The best the defense came up with was along the lines of "you can't trust digital evidence, because hackers", going as far as implying that DPR having a BitTorrent client running was opening his machine up to be hacked and evidence to be planted.

So he took the fall for it. We can't really know if he was DPR or not. I highly doubt that he was the only and main person behind Silk Road.

So, I guess he will be in jail for the rest of his life, correct?

I am surprised how fast this trial went, did his lawyers even try? I hope he didn't pay for them.

What I found most interesting was the comment by the US Attorney that the "supposed anonymity" of the Dark Web won't protect us from the government.

So, Andreas was not there ? I think the judge didn't want him because he didn't have the "credentials" to be there. We don't exactly have bitcoin "professionals" yet...

No one knows yet, he's yet to be sentenced. "Ulbricht's arrest and conviction -- and our seizure of millions of dollars of Silk Road bitcoins -- should send a clear message to anyone else attempting to operate an online criminal enterprise," read a statement from U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. "The supposed anonymity of the dark web is not a protective shield from arrest and prosecution." Cool, this means we don't need any special regulations and anti-anonymity laws? Right? Btw, can he still appeal?

Sorry for being a bit out of date but is the "Murder-For-Hire" stuff going to go on in a later trial or is this it?

Murder for hire is a different case altogether, that case will be held in the state of Baltimore.

Didn't he set up the site using his own email address and the first postings about it was on here using a screen name that was traced directly back to him? I am surprised how fast this trial went, did his lawyers even try? I hope he didn't pay for them.
They caught him red-handed, not to mention all the other evidence they had against him. He was fucked from the start, but the best they could come up with was pathetically trying to shift blame on to Karpales.

I would be kicking myself or worse if that was me, think of all the money he made in that short time all he had to do was hand it over to his number 1 vendor who he trusted enough, take a few % added to his millions a pretty good life waited for him.
Greed and stupidity is a killer or a life in jail er

There will be an appeal. The trial is far from over.

And like most appeals they go nowhere, though I can't blame him for trying.
