The article linked here addresses that multiple times. That accusation, largely overinflated by the media, was dismissed with prejudice. He was never even charged with it.
- avalys 4y agoWhat does "largely overinflated" mean, and how does it differ from "completely fabricated"?

- etchalon 4y agoThe article conflates the case in Maryland, which was dismissed after Ulbricht was already convicted and his appeals denied by SCOTUS. The article pretends this exonerated Ross when it reality the government didn't see a reason to go through another trial when he was already serving multiple life sentences. The article also does the hand-waivey "it was never shown the messages were authored by Ross." Those messages were presented into evidence, during the trial. Ross lawyers had no explanation for them.
