Prosecutors alleged that Ulbricht paid out $730,000 to other people to commit the murders, though none of the murders in fact occurred. In the 2nd 7 days of the trial, prosecutors presented paperwork and chat logs from Ulbricht's computer system that, they explained, demonstrated how Ulbricht had administered the site for several months, which contradicted the defense's assert that Ulbricht had relinquished control of Silk Road.
