It would be cool if we could compile a huge page of info about Ross and the founding/end of silk road. The CNN/VICE articles about the situation are complete shit and I think it would be a nice tribute to the man who made all this possible. Feel free to post anything you know/can find about him.
Wired put out a rather lengthy two-part article over the past month which I think did a beautiful job at describing the situation. Here's part 1 and part 2.
I saw a thread here a week or so back about the second part where gwern had raised some interesting points about it, though. You can find those here. That entire thread is pretty interesting and speculates several things that might be misleading about the articles.
Also, here's another of gwern's posts about the SR trial and includes links to things like Ross' journal and part of the SR spreadsheet.
