According to the jailed FBI agent (Shaun Bridges), he manipulated Ross Ulbricht and made him believe that one of his accomplices had stolen his funds. As per Bridges, he convinced Ulbricht to murder Curtis Clark Green. If Biridges is true, then Ulbricht made a huge mistake. But I don't know whether we can believe Shaun Bridges. He is the same person who stole half a million USD worth of BTC from the Silk Road wallet. I agree with you. If the allegation is correct, then there is absolutely no justification for that.
Aha I see, I realize I know less details than you guys here. If the guy Shaun Bridges is in jail, it wouldn't be the first time that someone like him talks shit and lies for whatever sake. For the sake of just harming someone without being able to expect anything in return. That would make it even worse if Ulbricht is going to die in jail because some faggot lied...
