"You believed him [Mark Karpeles] to be the mastermind behind Silk Road, keeping it secure and operating?" Ulbricht defense attorney Dratel asked Der-Yeghiayan.
"I did," Der-Yeghiayan testified.
As the argument was unveiled, Ulbricht let out a rare beaming smile and turned to his parents. They nodded at one another, marking the most electric moment as there has been throughout the trial so far.
EDIT: There's more.

Ars Technica published Karpeles' response: "I am not Dread Pirate Roberts. The investigation reached that conclusion already--this is why I am not the one sitting during the Silk Road trial, and I can only feel defense attorney Joshua Dratel trying everything he can to point the attention away from his client."

my gosh, this trial keeps getting more and more interesting each day.
I could see this becoming a fucking movie! Yesterday, I thought the defense was weak, but now I see that they got some good cards up their sleeve proving his innocence. Well done Ulbricht and Dratel. Well done.
And FUCK MTGOX
