"how do you feel about the government neglecting to charge him with those crimes?"

I understand that the government will try Ulbricht for those crimes. How do you feel about being informed of the facts?



I'm not pretending the federal charges in Baltimore don't exist - although I do think they're not credible.

I asked you about presenting this material during the bail proceeding - and his being denied bail on that basis - without yet having charged him.

Does this not outrage you?


"Does this not outrage you?"

It does not outrage me. I'm more outraged, well maybe not outraged but concerned, by your strange and desperate claims of Ulbrict's innocence.


No, because part of the reason he was denied bail is that he had a relative fortune of several million in Bitcoins, not all of which have been traced, and is thus a serious flight risk given the severity of the charges against him.


That's exactly how bail hearings work. Just because something isn't yet proven in the eyes of the law doesn't mean it shouldn't factor into bail.
