I don't know if anyone else has donated towards Ross' legal defence but if you watch that video you should have a very compelling reason to. Whether or not you support Ross this case is going to change the landscape of DarkNet Markets. Without a proper defence, precedent could be set in this case that impacts the systems we rely upon and put faith into to keep us safe in this environment. If you've got some spare satoshis sitting in your wallets I can't think of a more relevant cause to donate towards.

Wow, it's really impressive how well put together she is. Fuck, I wish that was my mom (wonder what the dad is like, amirite?).

It's odd watching this video, because you have an earnest reaction to feel compassionate toward what this woman is going through...

...and to think that the Prosecuting office is watching it saying 'fuck that scheming, druggie bitch.'

You can clearly see where the defense is going to go with this case (ie 'he is not a violent person, he has integrity, etc), and the Prosecutor's office I'm sure is having a field day with it.

Can someone explain whether it is or isn't probable that he tried to get someone murdered? I honestly have no idea what to believe anymore

If you needed a lawyer would he have donated coins to your legal defense, or anyone eles's? The motherfucker hoarded tens of millions of dollars, if he didn't retain a lawyer beforehand its on him. I'm not giving my hard earned money to an ex-millionaire that's going to prison for life no matter what legal counsel he receives. That doesn't even get into the whole part of him trying to kill a bunch of people. He made his bed.

The question is, was Ross the real runner of SR or just someone framed for it?

I know the case is important and all, but I'd be more interested in hearing from defcon's mother. And go fuck yourself downvotes.
