The issue is less about any specific ideology, but rather the social environment he was immersed in. Other than radicals, drug seekers, drug dealers and undercover law enforcement officials, he doesnt seem have had much social interaction. His peer group was ideologically warped far away from societal norms. He had no outlet for either gaining ego validation (e.g. going to a bar and griping about his crap day at his startup cause some weed dealer ran off with $200,000); or social validation (e.g. "Hey everyone, my startup marketplace is doing really well! I've struck it rich due to my hard work and clever understanding of Austrian School economic theory!"). He had to talk with the same people that were drawing him further away from society, because he could not talk to anyone in mainstream society. This is a problem for almost everyone living a "high security" covert life. I also strongly suspect that many of the undercover agents were acting as agent provocateurs, urging him on towards more extreme positions and actions. The Maryland Indictment reads like a set piece put-up job. I can believe that it was an operation with the dual intent of (a) documenting DPR committing a heinous crime, and (b) unmasking DPR, most likely though the wire transfer. Even if (b) failed, they would still have (a) to prosecute him with later.
