The dude was a genius. He went mad later on, but he was a genius, that cannot be debated. He not only founded chemical physics, but then went ton to do structural biology with it.

. Source. Caroline Ulbricht is the wife of Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road website which allowed users to buy and sell illegal drugs online.
Caroline's maiden name is Caroline Debrion. She is French, and they met soon after Ross was put into jail. The couple married in 2024, one year before Ross' pardon in 2025. Ordinary this girl is not.
Other interesting quotes from the article related to Caroline:
“I dated so many jerks in L.A., and Ross was just very real and just super kind,” she said in 2021, according to a recording of a conversation with an associate obtained by The Times. “Ross is very, very romantic.”Their relationship caused friction in the family. Ms. Ulbricht and Ms. Debrion sometimes butted heads, two people familiar with the women said. Against the wishes of Ms. Ulbricht, who had shielded her son from the media, Ms. Debrion helped persuade Mr. Ulbricht to participate in a Silk Road documentary, a last-ditch effort to sway public opinion.
Ciro Santilli had deduced caroline's maiden name "Caroline Debrion" before the New York Times article by stalking of her online accounts below. Also, her middle name might start with an L giving "Caroline L. Debrion", but this is less certain.
Likely accounts, all of which were live after Ross left prison, but were since taken down tested as of July 2025, including any Wayback Machine archives which are now marked "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine":
- www.linkedin.com/in/carolineld/. Named "Caroline Ulbricht" as of February 2025. Her last employement was as a remote Senior Tech Project Manager / Scrum Master at SiriusXM, a podcast technology company where she was until June 2024. From her feed www.linkedin.com/in/carolineld/recent-activity/all/ she seems to have an interest in computer programming and deeptech which is kind of cool. Many of her LinkedIn posts link to x.com/CrlneD. The "ld" from the LinkedIn username could be her middle name starting with L plus Debrion. Either that or she is a massive fan of the GNU ld linker for some reaso.
- x.com/CrlneD is linked from LinkedIn several times, but is currently suspended. This profile has a 3 archives from 2014 e.g. web.archive.org/web/20140408111206/https://twitter.com/CrlneD under name "Caroline Debrion". This archive was up when this article was originally writen but as of July 2025 is markedso it is possible that they read this article and requested the takedown. Searching Twitter for ther username has many hits on now deleted discdussions related to Ross: x.com/search?q=%22CrlneD%22&src=typed_query. She shas a bit of French stuff going on, maybe she actually has cultural links to France as indicated by her name.
This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine.
- www.quora.com/profile/Caroline-Debrion. The archive: archive.ph/VEMHR has a better matching profile image. This is further confirmed by this mispost under the wrong Twitter account: x.com/ClemencyForRoss/status/471408997082603520, linking to one of her Quora answers.
Googling "Caroline Debrion" previously found a: cryptonews.com/fr/exclusives/saga-ross-ulbricht-et-silk-road-scandales-derriere-la-peine-3271/ (archive from January 2025) specificlly describing her in French as "voluntary and projct manager for the website FreeRoss", so that is almost certainly be her maiden name. As of July 2025, her family name "Debrion" had been removed from the article, which is marked "Last updated: June 18, 2025", so they presumably found that article after either reading this article or Googling her and requested the change. She is also quoted in French in that article, but before The spectacular comeback tour of Ross Ulbricht it was unclear if she actually spoke in French or if this was just translated from English. Translation of one of her quotes:
Possibly related profiles but uncertain:
- www.tiktok.com/@carolinel.debrion has an account of a Caroline L. Debrion, with the likely L. middle name.

Ciro Santilli first found her name mentioned without source at: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ross_Ulbricht_Released_from_Prison_(cropped).jpg. Her first name "Caroline" was given by Ross at: x.com/RealRossU/status/1888299042146578925 on February 8th 2025.
As of 2025 most Google hits currently give "Rebecca Caroline Ulbricht Ferreira" however, an unrelated Brazilian molecular biology researcher from UNICAMP. So a good Google search is
"caroline ulbricht" -Rebecca to remove the overlap. This leads to www.linkedin.com/in/carolineld/ hits.x.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1882489065167356024 has a photo of them hugging at the jail parking lot just after he was released in 2025.

The website shut down by EMBII on January 2025 for an undisclosed reason. He mentioned however that after the shutdown he started to like the idea of keeping it down forever due the ideology of not having official centralized services linked to his protocol.[ref][ref][ref]

arstechnica.com/ai/2024/11/new-secret-math-benchmark-stumps-ai-models-and-phds-alike/ mentions what the official website is unable to clearly state out:So yeah, fuck off.
The design of FrontierMath differs from many existing AI benchmarks because the problem set remains private and unpublished to prevent data contamination
The expected answer output for all problems is just one single, possibly ridiculously large, integer, which is kind of a cool approach. Similar to Project Euler in that aspect.
The most interesting aspect of this benchmark is the difficulty. Mathematical olympiad coach Evan Chen comments:[ref]
Problems in [the International Mathematical Olympiad] typically require creative insight while avoiding complex implementation and specialized knowledge [but for FrontierMath] they keep the first requirement, but outright invert the second and third requirement

Had one possible non-trivial LinkedIn hit for Ross Ulbricht's wife in early 2025, before her identity was publicly known, so they may have something actually going on there
This section is about benchmarks designed to test mathematical reasoning.
This field is likely both ugly and useless.
OK, in 2D they've achieved some cute rational number results. But still.
