I don't think anyone is suggesting that he was unaware that silk road was being used for drug sales. I think the dispute is whether a person who ran such a website can still have interesting ideas to share.

I think they meant "many in these parts think he was just running a website which enabled drugs to be sold" vs the accusation that he hired hitmen or was running a drug cartel.
