Silk Road Indictment, Dread Pirate Roberts and FBI Agent Christopher Tarbell
The indictment of Ross Ulbricht, allegedly the "Dread Pirate Roberts" of Silk Road, is scrutinized for its detailed descriptions of how to buy drugs anonymously. FBI Special Agent Christopher Tarbell, known for the Sabu/Anonymous case, led the investigation that resulted in Ulbricht's arrest in San Francisco. The hosts question the lack of a public "perp walk" and the amateurish nature of the evidence linking Ulbricht to the site's code.
