Prosecution: Silk Road founder nabbed In flagrante delicto

15.01.2015
Due to a reporting error, the story "Prosecution: Silk Road founder nabbed In flagrante delicto," which ran on the wire Thursday, misstated the alias of the person accused of running the Silk Road. It is Dread Pirate Roberts.

The error appeared only in the third paragraph; subsequent references to Dread Pirate Roberts were correct. The third paragraph has been corrected and now reads:

The case hinges on prosecutors convincing the jury that Ulbricht is, in fact, "Dread Pirate Roberts," the handle of the otherwise anonymous person, or people, who oversaw Silk Road operations.
