When two federal agents were arrested for stealing from the government and Silk Road, the news did not come as a surprise to Joshua Dratel.
The lead defense attorney for recently convicted Silk Road mastermind Ross Ulbricht, Dratel knew about the corruption investigation for months but was forced to "sit on" it through months of pre-trial hearings and the two-month criminal trial earlier this year that saw Ulbricht found guilty of seven felonies for operating the online black market.
"The government's considerable efforts at keeping this monumental scandal from being aired at Ross Ulbricht's trial is itself scandalous," Dratel said in a statement to the Daily Dot.
Dratel goes into some detail about how he thinks this investigation colored the trial in a significant way. Check it out.
I would love to see Ross have his case overturned.
Its not only good for Ross, but it'll show just how dirty LE are when they are trying to take someone down.
