Ross Ulbricht sentenced to life
    #21736995 - 05/29/15 02:08 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/may/29/silk-road-ross-ulbricht-sentenced

Quote:

Ulbricht was convicted in February after a four-week trial on all seven counts, from selling narcotics and money laundering to maintaining an “ongoing criminal enterprise”, a charge usually reserved for mob kingpins. Prosecutors said that he had gone so far as to solicit six murders for hire, although chat logs cast doubt on whether Ulbricht had been the primary actor in the solicitations and none of the murders were carried out.




Scumbag murderer or social revolutionary?

Justice system is backwards and fucked up


Most murderers would do less time than him

Meanwhile serial rapists and murderers will walk free in his lifetime. Seems fair :elmo:

Who knows, maybe he'll get pardoned in 20+ years when the drug laws are changed and there is no mandatory minimum.

what kind of people was he trying to take out?

were they innocent people or gangsta killas too?

i don't have a problem with criminals take out other criminals.

i only care when an innocent is brought bodily harm.

i am very interested in organized crime and kingpins.

cocaine cowboys 1 2 and 3 are the greatest DOCs ever. i know this is a bit off topic...

By definition we're most likely all criminals, every single person has broken the law at some point whether they know it or not. So basically you don't have a problem with any kind of murder. I know what you meant though, I'm just a fussy bitch haha :wink:

The murder for hire charges are irrelevant as he wasn't sentenced for that. Those were only added on to sway public opinion and demonize him. He got life solely for starting and running the Marketplace.

other silk road vendors and mods.

They say  he's fucking retarded and paid like over 100k for fake assassinations.

I'm sure the murder for hire  influenced the judge.  Its one thing to say he's trying to help people and believes in freedom, its another to try to kill people to protect a business.

What he started cannot be stopped. There's dozens of markets operating today, there's new ones springing up, and people taking new countermeasures to avoid scams and hacks.
The DNM's are snowballing larger and larger, and in a couple of years even the media won't be able to pretend that law enforcement won their crusade.

No, he wasn't just trying to take out snitches.  He was trying to take out people who were blackmailing him and threatening to release personal info on all the employees and some vendors.  (i think i got that right)

read the whole transcript between ulbricht and the hell's angels crew he hired.  but i think the hell's angels dude was actually the scam artist he was trying to kill :lol:  (not sure.  i can't find any solid info about that)

and yea, he actually paid $650,000 for 5 murders, but nobody actually died.

read the transcript here:

i dont think there actually was a real hells angels though. i think it was all a bullshit story the scammer made up.  i can't find any proof of that, but it's my gut feeling.  read the transcript and see what you think.  there's no way he's talking to a hells angels CEO.
