if ross goes free do they have to give back his bitcoins

the 29,600 whatever bitcoins that were all auctioned off this summer were on the silk road server which ross claimed were not his because he says he's not dpr.

my guess is that the remaining 144,000 he would get back except that i think that he was concerned with the continued price drops in boom august, boom september, boom october, boom november, and boom december, that he and the government reached an agreement that 50,000 would be auctioned off. so i think that the proceeds would be held waiting on the verdict as well with the remaining 94,000 bitcoins.

During jury selection, peremptory strikes were used—whether coincidentally or with specific purpose—to eliminate jurors with science degrees, or even a penchant for reading news on the Internet. After the last round of peremptories, the point at which the lawyers could no longer eliminate jurors, a 26-year-old who works in IT was picked through the randomized selection process. She and another juror are the only jurors under the age of 40. Yet another juror has a bachelor’s in computer science.

quote:

<@HowellONeill> The defense has completed their closing arguments in the Silk Road case. I'll summarize it here for you all. Jury deliberation begins tmrw
<@HowellONeill> Dratel's argument was an artful exercise in sewing as much doubt as he could: "The internet is not what it seems," he said.
<@HowellONeill> Dratel "The impenetrability of the computer screen has deprived us of certainty.
<@HowellONeill> Dratel: "Not a single piece of evidence that Ulbricht was responsible for a single commission" bc agents didn't start on SR until late 2011
<@HowellONeill> Dropping all subtly, Dratel said Ulbricht was hacked, the evidence could have been planted, "fabricated, distorted, moved, manipulated"
<@HowellONeill> Dratel: "The Internet denies us the ability to say what is true and what is deception"
<@HowellONeill> Dratel pointed out that several files on Ulbricht's laptop were edited AFTER his arrest took place while BitTorrent was still running
<@HowellONeill> Dratel says cops crashed Ulbricht's laptop before they could check all of the processes running on it, now theyll "never know."
<@HowellONeill> DPR said don't keep anything on your laptop for cops to use against you. Ulbricht allegedly kept a treasure trove. Dratel: it was planted
<@HowellONeill> After visit by DHS, Ulbricht doesn't run, doesn't move money, does nothing. "Does that sound like DPR?"
<@HowellONeill> $18 million in BTC found on Ulbricht's laptop was an investment by the framer in order to complete the con, Dratel argues, it paid off big.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
