        DPR connected with Redandwhite, who was FriendlyChemist’s supplier, and wrote that “FriendlyChemist is a liability and I wouldn’t mind if he was executed.” Id. at 1822. After negotiating the logistical details of the murder, Ulbricht agreed to pay Redandwhite $150,000 in Bitcoins to kill FriendlyChemist. DPR paid Redandwhite, who later confirmed that he had received the payment and carried out the murder, and sent what appeared to be a photo of the dead victim to DPR.

        Yeah dude, by all accounts it does seem that the paranoia and power went to his head.

        Don’t get me wrong, he’s a pioneer and a visionary for what he did, but I have yet to read any credible account that discredits his attempt at purchasing hitmen.
