"Sadly there is about as much chance of Ross seeing freedom in his lifetime as there is Chelsea Manning. Zero percent."
IIRC, there was no plea bargain, and a jury trial. Now, imagine you are a juror, and the defence
has just demonstrated that the prosecution witnesses are liars, thieves, and felons. Would you
convict on that testimony? In most countries there would be no question, he would walk.
"Bridges allegedly diverted to his personal account over $800,000 in digital currency that he gained control of during the Silk Road investigation. The complaint alleges that Bridges placed the assets into an account at Mt. Gox, the now-defunct digital currency exchange in Japan. He then allegedly wired funds into one of his personal investment accounts in the United States mere days before he sought a $2.1 million seizure warrant for Mt. Gox’s accounts."

I am amazed any federal agents are being held accountable for this, they really want to set an example of btc users, I think partially to scare people from using it
Me too i am not sure it will stick though, does anyone know the amount supposedly stolen by them? I can get threw to the article until i get on another computer. They steal anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand and get screwed if true and their department steals 100's of thousands and charges ross for crimes, funny old world. That won't set an example of bitcoin users if anything people will want to know what bitcoin is making agents get sticky fingers. So many smoke and mirrors agents stealing from their own site that should read.
any chance this would give ulbricht a window to climb out?
Yes. Prosecutorial misconduct. It can have VERY far reaching implications. Now, the prosecution is easily shown to have reason to lie. About this - and other things. This is VERY good for Ross. I am pretty sure his attorney will be asking for a retrial by the end of the week.

Here is the complaint against their own Federal Agents: http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/30/criminal_complaint_force.pdf
"Carl Mark Force IV" - pretty cool name. Maybe even cooler than: "Dread Pirate Roberts"

Two former federal agents are expected to be arrested on Monday on charges of stealing money while working undercover on an investigation into Silk Road, the once-thriving black market website for drug dealing, a document shows.
