it happens everyday, the only difference is that 2 lawmen got tired of the table scraps the governments been feeding and wanted everything on the plate. they got sloppy however and left a trail and now the government wants to know where "their" money is.
i find thieves stealing from thieves, quite amusing.
not to mention its "Silk Road" no doubt in my mind there guilty of associating with assassins, regardless of whose case it was.

If you bothered to read the indictment you would know that Force stole $20,000 grand worth of bit coin from one guy. Claiming that he guys withdrawals looked suspicious.

Wow. This pretty much guarantees a successful defense and/or appeal (no idea how far the trial has gone) for Ross Ulbricht. Gross malfeasance is as gross malfeasance does...

Not sure how anyone here can validate or approve any of the alleged crimes committed.

Well, for drug-related crimes, I simply don't believe in the validity of ANY "victimless crime" accusation. That's simply BS, in my opinion, usually based on our Puritan roots in the US. Bleh. The murder-for-hire accusation, well, I certainly do agree with, assuming it's true.
That said, it's not about validation; it's just that this will likely greatly harm the prosecution's case vs. the defendant. It took far less evidence of malfeasance by Robert Gates (hope I got the name right) to get OJ off the hook, after all.

they saw an opportunity to steal thousands and get rich, if they got away with it they'd keep the money and never look back, i'm sure thousands possibly millions would take that risk if they thought they could get away with it.

The way I see it:
If it is 3M- USD not matter who the thefts are, for me; they just go for lefts-overs.
Taking in consideration that for a person that make 100K a year for 30yrs. We only make 3M as a hard worker paycheck-slave.
Just saying.
Live Free or Die.
The rule above all the rules is: Survive !
Capitalism: Funnel most of the $$$ to the already rich.

DEA agents especially, id rather join the army and get shot at than be that DEA agent that has to bring down a cartel operation.
at least in the army you get toy's that cost more than you'd ever make ever.
