straight into the govt's pockets...
"The government noted that the pending civil forfeiture against Ulbricht, which includes the bitcoins found on his laptop at the time of his arrest, can be credited to the judgement. That includes 700,000 bitcoins, which were worth $13.4 million at the time of transactions but are worth $166,124,000 at current conversion rates."

A life sentence is way too harsh for selling drugs. Besides trying to kill people, if that is even true, he is a hero sort of. I hope they at least put him in a nice minimum security prison.

Yea it's really confusing. Read that transcript. It's long but definitely worth the read. If it all was a giant scam, it sure was a good one and he fell for it HARD. It doesn't sound like he has any street smarts.

idk if its too harsh. unless he was like the best drug dealer ever (hahahahaha) made sure everything he sold was pure and not mixed with anything and made properly blah blah.
he didn't get a life sentence for trying to kill people or selling drugs. he got it because he was stupid.
it is darknet/silkroad i hear more bad then good about that place.

In that case, social revolutionary for sure.

right he got caught up over stupidity. i admire his gusto though, even though he was over his head.
but the only drugs he ever sold was mushrooms to get started.. he was a manager, not a dealer... i think the kingpin charge is bogus

If he got a life sentance for being stupid that would be even worse. He was one of the best drug dealers ever. Of course he made some really dumb mistakes, but he made a shit load of money and kind of changed the way drugs were sold for a while. I never used the silkroad but I've heard the drugs were really good quality.

I used it a ton and it was great. Never got burned. Had a few shipments of low quality goods, used the conflict resolution and got my money back out of escrow. Good luck with that at the crack spot.

short answer: yes but they were imaginary people
longer answer: i believe the people he tried to kill didn't even exist in the first place. nobody can find any record of them alive or dead. he got conned into paying for some hits. he didn't go out looking for a hitman, it was a manufactured scenario by the conman.
read the transcript, it's worth reading
