Oh I know bro. The fucking irony of it all! But I'll tell you this much.. once this trial picks up steam and as Bitcoin continues to go mainstream in parralell, you can imagine this will be definetly be the trial of the year. Forget Casey Anthony trial.. this will be the internet trial of the decade. And I'm positive high profile libertarian attorneys will come out of the woodwork and take the case on pro bono. There's so many interlaced elements to the whole thing. Since TOR is involved, proving 101$ Ulbright is DPR and the ONLY DPR that is/was is not going to be a walk in the park for the prosecution, since there are big drug dealers involved and the affidavits say they ONLY have DPR's clear text communication.. NOT whatever he communicated through PGP.. he (im not suggesting he's a rat) could be offered some sort of deal in exchange for whatever juicy information he might have on some of the largest narco traffickers that were on the site.. etc etc. My theory is, Ulbright is going to either say he's not DPR at all and they got the wrong guy. Or he's going to say there WERE and ARE multiple "DPRs" who controlled that account/the site.. so he can't be liable for all the charges. Setting up a drug site? Nah, that was the first guy before him. Ordering hits on witnesses and employees? Nah, thats one of the other current DPRs. Etc etc. And how exactly will the government be able to disprove that defense? It's tor. They cant say for sure him and only him was DPR, was always DPR, and was teh ONLY DPR current or past.
