Saturday, July 23, 2016: 4:00 pm (Noether): Join Joshua Horowitz, one of Ross Ulbricht’s defense attorneys, tech journalists Andy Greenberg and Patrick Howell O’Neill, and filmmaker Alex Winter for an in-depth discussion of the Silk Road case. All panelists attended Ulbricht’s trial.

In this panel discussion, they’ll examine the less-discussed aspects of Ulbricht’s case, including the role of two corrupt federal agents in the Silk Road investigation, the indictment of Ulbricht’s alleged mentor and consigliere Variety Jones, and Ulbricht’s controversial life sentence without parole.
