   The former undercover federal agent who was arrested on   
   Friday for allegedly stealing bitcoins from the online black   
   market Silk Road also helped orchestrate a fake   
   assassination scheme allegedly carried out by Silk Road's   
   founder Ross Ulbricht, according to the agent's deleted   
   LinkedIn page.   
      
   Carl Mark Force IV, a 46-year-old former Drug Enforcement   
   Administration (DEA) officer, has been charged with wire   
   fraud, theft of government property, and money laundering.   
   He allegedly sold information about the government   
   investigation and stole over $500,000 in bitcoins, the   
   digital cryptocurrency, for himself during the federal   
   investigation into Silk Road.   
      
   Shaun Bridges, a Secret Service agent who allegedly stole   
   $800,000 in bitcoins from Silk Road, was also arrested.   
      
   "The fact that Ross' attorneys were not permitted to use   
   this important information at trial was devastating to Ross'   
   defense," mother Lyn Ulbricht told the Daily Dot. "These   
   revelations of corruption cast doubt on the integrity of the   
   entire investigation and the government's case, including   
   accusations of murder-for-hire, which we have always been   
   certain were false."   
      
   Force, who was central to the investigation of Ulbricht and   
   Silk Road, played the single biggest role in the most   
   damning charges leveled against Ulbricht: allegedly paying   
   for the assassination and torture of a once-trusted   
   confidant.   
      
   Force, by his own admission, was the Baltimore-based   
   undercover agent who established and cultivated a 17-month   
   covert relationship with Dread Pirate Roberts (DPR), the   
   pseudonym Ulbricht is said to have used while operating Silk   
   Road, that ended with Ulbricht being charged with murder for   
   hire, an accusation he still has yet to face in court in   
   Maryland. On Silk Road, one of Force's psuedonyms was Nob.   
      
   Ulbricht, who was convicted of operating Silk Road in   
   February, maintains that he is not Dread Pirate Roberts. He   
   is currently awaiting sentencing and is working to appeal   
   his conviction.
