Government prosecutors say Ross Ulbricht is the mastermind behind Silk Road, the most successful drug-selling market on the Internet. He's currently on trial facing federal drug-trafficking charges and could be sent to prison for life, if convicted. During trial yesterday, as an IRS special agent was showing the jury various e-mails of Ulbricht's, his OkCupid username, ross-0, was shown in court.

On the profile, Ulbricht gives vague answers about his employment, but hardly looks the part of an alleged kingpin. He describes himself as a "scientist turned entrepreneur." After building "several businesses over the years," he's now "an independent investor and plotting my next venture," he explained. He describes himself as working in technology and doesn't disclose his income.

The writeup includes plenty of typical dating-profile fare: a photo of him with a dog ("women are helpless against his powers," reads the caption), a photo of him jumping off a cliff into a body of water, a photo of him in a toga for Halloween. "Doing my best hugh hefner," he writes in a caption to a photo of himself in a robe and smoking from a pipe. In another photo, from Thailand, he feigns shock posing in front of what he describes as a "shrine of dildos." Under "first things people notice about me," he says "many think I look like Robert Pattinson [the lead actor of the Twilight film series] at first."

He lists “The Power of Now,” a best-selling book by Eckhart Tolle that touts itself as a "Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment," as one of his favorite books. For music, he states that Electric Light Orchestra’s “I’m Alive” is his theme song.

The profile shows him as last logging into the site on September 29, 2013, just two days before he was arrested in a San Francisco library.

Federal agents who arrested him took his laptop and have used files on it as evidence against him in court. According to prosecutors, Ulbricht's laptop held a log of management activities related to Silk Road, which the government is using as evidence against him. The week of September 11, 2013, the log describes getting "covered in poison oak" and going on "a first date with amelia from okc."

Another file on that laptop, a journal entry read aloud in court last week, echoes the "scientist turned entrepreneur" language in Ulbricht's OKC profile, although with a darker bent.

"I had mostly shut myself off from people because I felt ashamed of where my life was," the journal entry read. "I had left my promising career as a scientist to be an investment adviser and entrepreneur and came up empty handed."

OkCupid encourages its users to answer questions on a variety of topics, to power the matchmaking algorithm it uses. Users choose which questions to answer. Ulbricht answered dozens of questions and offered comments on some of the answers. Here are some questions he answered, with his added comments in italics:

Are you currently employed? Yes, I have a fulltime job What do you do with your money? Save some/most of it and invest it. Have you used psychedelic drugs (LSD, mescaline, peyote, etc.) or would you like to? Yes, I have used psychedelic drugs. What’s your deal with harder drugs (stuff beyond pot)? I’ve done drugs in the past but no longer. been curious to try dmt though. Could you date someone who does drugs? Yes. However, there is lots of behavior common to drug users I wouldn’t tolerate, but if you can keep your shit together then I don’t care what you put in your body. Do you think drug use with your partner can be a romantic activity? Yes Which would you rather be? (Weird or normal) Weird Are you attracted to dangerous situations? Yes Do you enjoy intense intellectual conversations? Yes Which would you rather choose: peace on Earth or loads of money? Peace on Earth Are you happy with your life? Yes

Ulbricht made it clear he wanted to connect on an intellectual level. He invited women on OkCupid to message him who were "bright, honest, curious, patient, happy, and well-adjusted." He also portrays himself as looking for more than just a casual hookup. In a question that asked users how long they wanted their next relationship to last, he chose "The rest of my life" option. "That's how I roll," he added. "I'm looking for the love of my life. I'll give you a chance, but if you aren't her, I'm moving on."
