“Ross paid to have people killed”
False. Amplified through inaccurate and sensationalized reporting, these allegations were used to deny Ross bail, smear him in the media, bias his jurors and justify the life sentence he ultimately received.
Never charged at trial or ruled on by a jury, these unproven and unprosecuted allegations were dismissed with prejudice in 2018, and therefore can never be re-filed or used against Ross again.
The accusations relied on anonymous chats and text files never proven to have been authored by Ross. Hard evidence and testimony—including from the lead Silk Road investigator—show that, over time, multiple people were behind the site admin’s handle (who was called Dread Pirate Roberts or “DPR” for short). Two corrupt investigators (sent to prison) also had unfettered access to Silk Road and were admittedly involved in numerous plots.
Ross has always denied being involved with these allegations, and even Curtis Green, the only alleged victim ever identified, is a longtime, fervent supporter of Ross’s release. 
Like i said, seems shady, regardless... and why Curtis "Can't yet talk about"? That was 2017, anything new?
No doubt lots of corruption in the case, involved agents, etc, can't trust anyone, unfortunately.
