October  UTC   You wrote As laid out in the Grand Jury indictment the direct criminal and a multititude of independant sources Ulbricht is DPR I dont know what you mean by direct criminal but the grand jury indictment is based solely on the FBIs account and so are ALL the news stories There are simply no independent sources for this allegation The news media didnt all of a sudden forget about defamation law they simply reasoned that they were at no risk because they are convinced by the FBIs account and are certain of Ulbrichts guilt That doesnt mean they have independently verified the FBIs account and they do not claim to have done so
