The documents, court filings from November and December, only refer to Force, whom was apparently the sole suspect at that time. It wasn't until later that government investigators realized that both Force and Bridges, who worked together in the Baltimore investigation, had both independently ripped off Silk Road.
According to the government, it was Bridges who was responsible for the January theft, which he perpetrated by taking over Curtis Green's "Flush" account.
