Maybe the hitman refused to accept bitcoin? Also, it isn't that hard you know, you just find some old dude and tell him that you'll give him $1,000 for using his bank account and he'll probably let you.

You got to be kidding. That's like paying for cocaine using a bank transfer. Who does that? Nobody.
That's your answer. Why would anyone believe what the government says in this matter or why would the government think that this example would stop anyone from making something like Silk Road again?

DPR was set up anyway.

Both of them (Ross and the hitman) can't be that stupid. Have you ever heard of a criminal, who accepts bank transfer for his services? This is ridiculous.

Exactly. Unless he thinks illegal activities around the world are paid using SWIFT. Roll Eyes

You're overestimating ross. He used his personal email to advertise silk road. I'm sure he was also dumb enough to pay for the hit through a bank transfer.

Let's get real, the guy was a fricking idiot.
