Anyone following this? There is good coverage on Wired and Ars Technica. The guy is totally boned. The pigs grabbed him while his laptop was open to the administrative panel for the site, titled "Mastermind." Too bad the trial isn't televised, then we could take bets on how many times the prosecutor says "mastermind" during his closing statement.
One of the things I find remarkable is the feds found also found his journal and hundreds of thousands of bitcoins on his laptop which they subsequently sold. That says to me he didn't have his wallet or journal encrypted separately from overall disk/dir protection.
