The new court documentscome from Maryland , and it does not look good for older Ross . They secern the story of an undercover agentive role that won Ulbricht ’s trust through a $ 27,000 cocaine deal and was then levy to beat up a Silk Road employee who evidently slip user ’ Bitcoins . “ I ’d like him baffle up , then forced to ship the bitcoins he stole back , ” reads a message from Ulbricht to the agent . “ Like sit him down at his computer and make him do it . ”
Things get dark from there . grant to the Margaret Court documents , Ulbricht soon write back and said that he want to “ change the order to execute rather than torture ” because the Silk Road employee had been in prison before and might rat on Ulbricht rather than go back . Ulbricht added that “ he had never killed a human being or had one kill before , but it is the correct move in this case . ” Then come the money . Ulbricht sent a downpayment of $ 40,000 , and when the theorise hitman devolve with ( staged ) picture of the murder . Ulbricht then made a second requital of $ 40,000 . “ I do n’t think I ’ve done the wrong thing , ” he said .
Well , ordering one hit is regretful enough , but as we learned on Wednesday , Ulbrichtdid it againwith a drug dealer on Silk Road who promise to reveal user ’ identities . However , that was also a sting mental process — and at $ 150,000 , it was an expensive one for Ulbricht . The money does n’t really matter now , though , because it looks like this bozo ’s going to prison . For a foresighted prison term . [ Forbes ]
