- Ross was 'partnering' with Mr Force, who was kinda the 'brain' behind silk road
- Mr Force manipulated Ross, instilling paranoia until he suggested to him to hire a hitman
My recollection from what I read is that Force infiltrated (remotely) SilkRoad as an employee well after it was up and running. How could he have been the brain behind SilkRoad before Ross created it?
- Mr Force got busted because of Bitstamp which reported him
edit: Mr Force got busted because of fiat, not bitcoin. If only he kept his BTC instead of laundering them on exchanges..

But that is why the FBI likes bitcoin. Crooks think that they can tunnel under the AML barriers by requesting payment in bitcoins instead of dollars. But they get caught when they try to spend the bitcoins on Lamborghinis and castles, because to do that they have to go through "trusted third parties" (ahem!) who will report them to the cops...
Edit: Force was the only one who infiltrated SR; the other rogue agent just helped him stage Force's murder for hire. Correct?
