The court has no evidence that he ordered murders and dismissed the charges in such a way that they can never be filed again.
Right after Ross’s arrest, prosecutors in the state of Maryland filed a separate indictment that contained the only allegation of murder-for-hire ever filed against Ross. The indictment referenced an alleged hit on Curtis Green, a Silk Road administrator (more on Curtis Green below). For nearly five years, that indictment was left untouched, unprosecuted. Eventually, in July 2018, the District of Maryland dismissed it with prejudice, meaning it can never be re-filed or used against Ross again.[3][4]

Not beyond reasonable doubt, no. But there was a preponderance of evidence, according to the court. I’m sure you already know this.
In criminal law you need overwhelming proof. So I agree with you, it’s absolutely correct that he was not found guilty of this.
