posted 1 Oct 2023
On October 1, 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested Ross Ulbricht in San Francisco Public Library in Glen Park.
To prevent Ulbricht from encrypting or deleting files on the laptop he used to run the website, two agents, pretending to be a couple, began to argue.
When they successfully distracted Ross, a third agent seized the laptop and inserted a flash drive with software that copied key files.
Ulbricht was remanded without bail and received two life sentences.
