Yea it is apparently true. DHS even went as far as to draft a warrant for his gmail accounts because they thought he was DPR.

they thought....but they made a mistake and they got the real drug dealer

I don't think Ross is even accused of actually selling drugs. The only "deal" that I am aware of is the one that he facilitated to the guy in MD that ended up getting caught. He is however being charged as a drug kingpin

and few fake passports

of course he is not going to admit it. The person who the US government thinks is the "real" DPR is being brought up on charges that could result in an live sentence

I was at the Ross Ulbricht / Silk Road Trial Day 3. AMA. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted an hour ago by quodestlicitum

The defense dropped a bomb on the prosecution today. They were able to get the prosecution's own witness to admit that he had opened an investigation of Mark Karpeles and Ashley Barr as being the duo behind the Silk Road. The trial ended with the prosecution objecting to the defense's mention of Mark Karpeles's ownership of the site Bitcointalk.com, shortly after vehemently objecting to mention of a possible deal with Karpeles out of Baltimore to turn over the name of DPR in return for not facing any further prosecution. Crazy crazy day!

Do you personally believe it's possible that Ross Ulbricht's claims are true, and that Mark Karpeles and Ashley Barr were indeed running the site and using him as a scapegoat?

Link to the story for those who haven't read up on it.

[–]quodestlicitum
The truth is I have no idea. But for purposes of the trial, whether I believe it is actually Mark Karpeles or not, isn't relevant. The defense is doing an excellent job of introducing reasonable doubt.

Keep in mind, the defense didn't mention Mark Karpeles in their opening statement. Dratel was able to get all this information out of the government's own witness on cross-examination. The government's own witness thought Karpeles was the invisible hand behind silk road, and that ashley barr was dpr.

Dratel asked Agent DerYaghiayan about information they had subpoenaed from Dwolla, and whether Ulbricht and Karpeles had moved money. Ulbricht had moved a few thousand dollars over 2 years. On the other hand, there was a firehose of money coming from Mt. Gox through Dwolla. Mutem Sigellum (Karepeles' holding company) had a transaction list 1000 pages long.

According to this redditor, DerYaghiayan suspected Ashley Barr was DPR.

Googling "Ashley Barr Bitcoin" turns up the following:

I am not sure if this article is legit or not, however apparently the Ulbright defense claimed in court today that Mark Karpeles was the "real" DPR that was behind Silk Road.

I somewhat doubt this is true, but I wouldn't mind seeing Karpeles spend time behind bars, be it for loosing/stealing 600k+ BTC or for running Silk Road
