Absent hard evidence there's no significant difference between Ulbricht and a murder mystery author, in that regard. We'd at least have to know that the people he discussed with and about were real. It's just words in a database at this point.

I'm not inclined to take DPR's words at other than face value just because he wasn't able to actually kill anyone. For instance, the first hit that he claimed to have achieved for $80k was with an undercover cop, so there is hard evidence on that one.
- genwin 13y agoIf the target of a murder plot or confession is fictional, I think there's no crime, whether or not told to a cop; it's protected under free speech. Let's see if the investigators can find real people to link to his words.
