This is new information the FreeRoss team released yesterday. Everything is backed up with a source.

For anyone interested in knowing how the evidence used against Ulbricht was produced and handled by the FBI, read or watch at https://freeross.org/railroaded

The whole scene reads like a joke.

The arrest scene is in Episode 3 chapter 11.

We like to smugly look back on Aztec sacrifice ceremonies, where the common people believed to the depth of their souls, that the people being decapitated in front of them were deserving of that fate, and that defeating that process would endanger their own futures in view of the gods. The process was righteous by definition, no matter what facts and bases the condemned could supply.

Next year is the 500-year anniversary of the peak of the Aztec empire. We need to be continually reminded that the more things change, the more we stay the same.
