I don’t know a ton about Ross Ulbricht. 

Reasonable friends of mine outside of crypto are appalled, noting that he attempted murder.  

Reasonable friends of mine within crypto are celebrating.

I get the divisiveness of the dark money aspect here (the for and against). But is the murder part true?

Ross Ulbricht’s case is complex. Some charges, like attempted murder, were not formally pursued in court, leading to ongoing debates about their validity. It's important to examine all available evidence carefully.
