Hmm, looks like I have to withdraw much of my skepticism about the assassination text allegedly found on DPR's server:
The agent led Ulbricht to believe that the killing had been carried out, including staged photos of the employee being tortured, and on March 1 Ulbricht wired $80,000 from an account in Austrailia to an account controlled by authorities.
Such a wire from a bank account in Australia should be easy to verify but harder to fake.
