The United States of America Versus Ross Ulbricht Case

In 2014 4th February, a state grand judge returned charges 14 Cr.68 (the most initial

charges) accusing Ross Ulbricht (a person or Ulbricht) on four charges, all grounded on the

administration, creation as well as online market operations, described as Silk Road. The

superseding allegations heard on 21st August 2015, accused Ross Ulbricht with seven criminal

offenses: an addictive medicine interfering with mood trafficking, circulation of an addictive

medication interfering with moods through the use of the internet (UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA v. ROSS WILLIAM ULBRICHT DREAD PIRATE ROBERTS). The superseding

accusations appeared very different from the original allegations. A criminal claim provided by

the American District law court for California's North district resulted into the conviction of two

sometimes representatives of the federal government who had confidentially collaborated with

Ross Ulbricht in the Baltimore Silk Road. Sometimes, Carl Mark, who was an argent in the

department of drug enforcement control had to force as well as Shaun, who was an agent for Secret

service had to bridge.

A judge found Ross Ulbricht guilt of the seven accusations from the operation as well as

the creation of the Silk Road using a unique username, Dread Pirate Robert (DPR). According to

the court ruling, silk Road large, an, unidentified criminal market platform which was run by the

use of Tor Network, which led to trafficking of the internet through the use of Tor browser

somehow hard to trace. Following Ross Ulbricht turning out to be a key suspect in the

investigations by the Dread Pirate Roberts (DPR) the federal government acquired five trap and

pen orders. The trap and pen orders from the government did not countenance any access to the

data of Ross's interactions not only to any person but also to the government itself. Two of the

most covert agents, accused of contributing to the Silk Road by the investigators, are of specific

import to the presented matter: Shaun, who was an agent for special secret services bridges and

Cark Mark, who was a special agent for drug prosecution management. Both of these agents were

tasked to investigate the Baltimore. Ross Ulbricht will never be set free on bail.

The United States suspected in the entire field of New York, the southern district which

form or around January 2011, up to and counting September 2013, the silk road, unrecognizable

website, worked as a market platform where unlawful drugs as well as other harmful goods as well

as services were frequently purchased and sold by the users of the site. Again, in the hidden market

website, users could privately communicate with one another, hack computer software using fake

IDs(UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. ROSS WILLIAM ULBRICHT DREAD PIRATE

ROBERTS). As a result, the Silk road attracted the attention of several state agencies and started

monitoring the activities happening on the website. They always followed the site using IP traffic

activities and at one point got they were successful to get pen or trap order by the name of Ross

Ulbricht. Eventually, the Silk Road was discovered and realized that honestly, it was owned and

controlled by Ross Willian Ulbricht, who was commonly referred to as Dread private roberates or
