Ross Ulbricht is a murderous drug dealer. He facilitated the sale of heroin, organ harvesting, ricin -- anything to make money. And he conspired to murder. He paid the fees for more than one murder. Whether the murders took place or whether he got scammed by a real or pseudo hitman is not known.
These were unproven allegations by the DA made in the media
HE WAS NEVER TRIED, convicted, charged or indicted of these allegations.
