Either way, I'm eagerly waiting for Silk Road: The Movie 
Silk Road isn't as special as you think it was. It was just some dude with a help of a few other admins running it, its not some secret organization spread out around the world. The guy got sloppy, shit happens.
As for the vendors that are pissed, fuck em. They made a shit ton of money on the site and the guy is going to go to prison for their crimes. Its the cost of doing business, and he's losing a fuck ton more than any of they are. They took a risk signing up for SR in the first place.

Cops are just mad that SR took out all of their cuts in the street (with the business they took away from your local dealer). with an online market place that delivers to your doorstep. the popo can't get their palms greased by the big guys.

Pretty sure he is the real DPR. Have you read the criminal complaint that the feds sent to the judge to get the warrant signed? Ross made mistakes years ago making posts on various sites mention tor and/or silk road and then leaving a trail back to his email address which was his real name. He done fucked up from the very beginning . . .
And the fake ID cards that finally pinned him down were mailed to him by a vendor on silk road, possibly a vendor that got busted and made a deal with the feds to help get DPR.

it sounds far fetched.
how do we know the feds aren't lyng about that?, or maybe it wasn't him but someone else under his name..
could have been a set up all along. they rustled his jimmies to the point where he had no choice but to hire the hitman. who knows, they may have been the ones threatening him this whole time.

Do you think 3 million was a lot of money for him to have? At first I thought it was low because he is running a drug empire, but it could be high too. I wonder if he was selling drugs or getting a percentage of what sellers were getting. Probably a percentage with some dealing on the side.

For how long the site ran and the volume that moved through it it's a little on the low side. I wonder if he has any finances stashed away someplace. A secret bit wallet stashed away somewhere would be the perfect safe for them.

He made a FUCK ton of money from when bitcoins went up to $100 and even when they went past it. Who the fuck knows where he had it stashed though, he might end up giving that up to get a reduced sentence. I bet he has over 50 million stashed away at least.

Drugs are a billion dollar industry. If he did sell drugs aswell he may have way more than 50 mill. Being the admin alone and getting a cut from the vendors made him more than enough cash, i doubt he'd go as far as selling it. Unless he was really stupid..

Pretty crazy stuff yo. 
Time will guide us to a clearer understanding of this FBI drug scandal. 
But seems to me like the Shroomery isn't as safe as I've thought. The Feds ARE monitoring our conversations...for them to find 1 post that gave them enough evidence to warrant custody of the site.

it isn't very surprising that he would call a hit on someone black mailing him. I'm not saying it's right but that is, how they say, business.
im thinking he may or may not have put a hit on someone in the past, the quotes they used makes it seem more like just aht, a negotiation. i imagine you'd have at least know how to make it seem like you've done it before in a transaction like that.

That's not business, he was a fucking e-gangster and should have ran the site instead of using it as a social platform. Make another account to chitchat with people. Also, he should have ignored all blackmail requests no matter what they said.

His side of the story is going to be "Not guilty". I believe most of the complaint, and I think he was a brilliant mind with 0 experience being a criminal. The FBI manipulated him to do that shit no doubt, but he will die in prison as a result of putting himself out there too much.
