Silk Road creator Ulbricht, an “eternal optimist,” writes a letter from prison * 1
    #21919584 - 07/09/15 11:46 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/silk-road-creator-ulbricht-an-eternal-optimist-writes-a-letter-from-prison/

Quote:




Convicted Silk Road mastermind Ross Ulbricht has made his first public statement since he was sentenced to life in prison, writing a letter addressed to PorcFest, a libertarian gathering that he has previously attended.

"Unfortunately the worst case scenario has played out for me and I've been sentenced to spend the rest of my life in prison," writes Ulbricht from the New York City detention facility he's being held at while his appeal proceeds. In the handwritten letter, he goes on to say that he's an "eternal optimist," and "will never give up hope for my release." He hopes the appeals court "will recognize the errors by some and outright corruption by others in the government and give me some kind of remedy. It could be a new trial, where hopefully the whole story can be told, or the case could be dismissed altogether."

"In many ways, my struggle is just getting started now," Ulbricht writes. The letter asks PorcFest attendees for donations for his legal fund, before concluding: "Keep fighting for your freedom and eventually we will win."

The Porcupine Freedom Festival, also known as PorcFest, is an annual "liberty camping event" put on each year in New Hampshire by The Free State Project. Lyn Ulbricht, Ross Ulbricht's mother, spoke about his case there last year.

PorcFest took place in late June. The handwritten letter was posted to the Free Ross website on Monday and reported on Vice earlier today.

For being a letter of hope, it's pretty depressing

Why is "I have confidence, or the case could be dismissed altogether the only portion of the ink in black. 

He knew this letter would be a big deal. He is speaking to someone in this letter. Has to be...

Even if he gets out one day, he'll probably end up spending most of his life in jail.
:feelsbadman:

I hope he writes a book about his philosophies and stuff. He used to post about it a bit while he was still running SR.

It's hard to stay positive when you've had everything stripped from you. However, To lay down and to subscribe to an unjust law or legal system is not in our prerogative as human beings.

Big respect to the guy, I can't personally justify his actions as I don't know the scope of them, but no man should be imprisoned for a nonviolent crime, where the "victim" is the state.

Whatever he wrote in the space with the black lettering was erased and those words were spliced in.  Weird.  You can still see traces of the original writing.

It is also the only part in cursive. The writing style isnt the same as the rest of the letter either in general.

It might have had personal / sensitive information or the names of other people and they scrubbed it before releasing it to the public.

Its always dangerous living in prison I would be so scared to go in. And must be so unhealthy living in such filth and danger with high stress. Would take a toll on me.
