This is super interesting. I remember at the Allwine trial being gobsmacked this guy gave evidence about a Bitcoin address and had no idea what he was talking about. If the defence had called their own expert he would have been torn to shreds

This offer is still open. Please, STOP with the misinformation
On the day of Ross Ulbricht's pardon, the misinformation (on both sides) over at the other place is insane.
If anyone wants factual, balanced information on anything about Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht's role, sentence etc, ask away

US lawyers: The USG effectively agreed to deem Ross Ulbricht’s civil penalty paid in full in return for forfeiting any claim to the 69,370 BTC that 'Individual X' stole from Silk Road.
But if Ulbricht has been completely pardoned, doesn't that mean the civil penalty is voided?

Do any clever people know how to find out the status of extradition proceedings?
James Ellingson is supposed to be facing charges arising from Silk Road (he was "redandwhite" the "hitman" engaged by Ulbricht), but from what I can tell he is still in Canada and liking posts, so presumably free
