Other people who been arrested recently in connection to the silk road have come out and said Ross has cut a deal with the feds and is cooperating with them to avoid the death penalty.

Yeah because they give people the death penalty for selling drugs all the time in the USA. No offense but how dumb are you to believe everything you hear even if makes absolutely no sense?

No but they do give the death penalty for MULTIPLE murder for hires. He DPR isn't just facing drug selling charges, hacking charges, money laundering charges...... he's also facing multiple solicitation for murder charges which can carry the death penalty. Threatening to charge him with the death penalty in order to get him to cop a plea and provide more information wouldn't be all that shocking in the a case like his where the death penalty IS a possible sentence.
