There was literally no evidence of an attempted murder. Just an empty and unsubstantiated accusation.

The lengths the FBI went to in one of the murder for hire cases is interesting.

After Ulbricht ordered the hit on one of his forum moderators, the FBI visited him, took all of his computers, told him they were going to be "him" from now on online forever, had him "pose" in a bathtub where they hosed him off and doused him in ketchup to take fake trophy photos, had the "hitman" send the photos of Ulbricht, who famously commented "It had to be done."
