I initially thought the same thing. However, after reading both articles, I saw that there is some information provided in the Forbes article not present in the San Francisco Magazine article.

Did you spot it?

Be careful about jumping to conclusions that other people are stupid, especially when you didn't even take the time to verify that you understood what you're talking about.

Firstly, a little aggressive for my taste, but you're welcome to your own thoughts. Secondly, no I did not catch it, it had to have been a minor footnote; care to educate me?

I'm welcome to my own thoughts as well as to point out where you were wrong. It's funny that you talk about things being aggressive for your taste, when the tone of condescension could not be more clear in your original post. But then, I notice many nerds can dish it out but can't take it, especially those nerds so eager when online to act superior in some way.

What you did not catch in the short Forbes article is by no means a footnote. It is the scrubbing of previous references to Ross Ulbricht by the University of Texas at Dallas.
