Ross Ulbricht, the Texas native arrested in San Francisco last October in relation to the Silk Road online black marketplace, has entered a formal plea of ‘not guilty’ to all charges.
The indictment hearing for the man accused of being the site’s ‘Dread Pirate Roberts’ comes after more than 120 days in detention and interestingly, did not include any of the (up to) six alleged attempts to murder Silk Road cohorts by contract, none of which resulted in an actual death.
The hearing and not-guilty plea comes after Ulbricht was formally indicted last Tuesday on charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, computer hacking and of being the ‘kingpin‘ on a drug trafficking enterprise.
