  > Given he tried to have several people killed I imagine he finds himself on the wrong side of multiple executive orders, laws and moral frameworks alike... Sure, not saying he is a moral person, or not a criminal, or that he is likely to be even in the smallest measure a good person. But he clearly is not a hostile foreign power in and of himself, though I am sure he would love to be considered one ;) My only argument regarding DPR is that this sort of EO might end up applying to targets other than agents of hostile governments or terrorists or whatever the current boogieman is. > As for your second paragraph I would imagine you'd have to prove some form of intent in order to throw someone in jail? I would hope so, and that things like "intent to sell/export tools to find and exploit security vulnerabilities" would not be enough, even when interpreted by non-expert police, prosecutors, juries and judges.

  Do we know if he really did ? I thought this was all speculation from the prosecutor to shine a bad light on the character. He never was convicted of it for sure.

  Actually, no. The same federal agents that stole large sums of Bitcoin from Silk Road also seem to have tried to frame DPR for murder. http://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/03/31/force-and-bridges/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/03/31/force-and-...
