Torture and murder, oh my:
Less than a day after the FBI seizure of Silk Road and the arrest of alleged founder Ross William Ulbricht, a Maryland indictment has been released charging Ulbricht with 1) conspiracy to commit murder of a witness; 2) use of interstate commerce in murder-for-hire; and, of course, 3) conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
This morning’s criminal complaint alleged that Ulbricht sought to murder a user named FriendlyChemist in March 2013 because of apparent extortion. The FBI says that Ulbricht, using the screenname Dread Pirate Roberts, paid $500,000 to have the man killed in Canada, but no records of such a murder have been found so far.
This indictment brings new charges into the fray.
