Unfortunately, the creator of this site doesn't explain truly why he feels Ross Ulbricht needs a defence fund. Has he publicly stated that he is unable to mount his own defence?<p>If he truly is DPR, then he has funds available for his defence, and if not, the US government has an obligation to provide an attorney for him. At the same time, I'm sure some legal gun who wants the publicity would take on the case.<p>This whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think there are probably other people more in need of a defence fund.
