Free Ross-a-Thon 5

Thought you guys might be interested in checking this out.
I guess they just got hit with a 14K bill for printing and binding his appeal for the judge to read, so they're trying to raise some funds. I'm definitely going to donate.

I think Ross deserves an appeal. I don't believe for a second that he had anything to do with the "hit" that they accused him of, and a lot of new information coming to light regarding corruption on the part of the undercovers.

I don't think he deserves life in prison, but I don't know if he's ever going to get out.
Good to see people are still raising money for him though, I assume his legal expenses must be massive

I don't understand why people are campaigning to free this guy. What about every other big time drug dealer? I'm against the war on drugs but didn't he commit a massive crime by managing a drug dealing website? Why would he be treated differently to other big time drug dealers? Do people think he was framed?

I answered an unasked question in the form of a question; paradoxymoron. I googled who he was before I posted that. Please, don't mind my nonsensical posts and we wont have to mind each others trivial posts.

Because Life in Prison is an INSANE sentence for non-violent drug charges.
Because the Drug Laws in general are archaic, draconian and insane. They do not stop people from doing drugs and they NEED TO CHANGE. More than 50% of Federal Prisoners are non-violent drug offenders and this is NOT ok. It's not just about Ross. It's about Drug Policy Reform, Cognitive Liberty, and so much more.
It's just like Timothy Leary receiving a 20 year sentence for a small amount of Cannabis in the 60's....INSANE.

Plus, he didn't personally facilitate the selling of the drugs- he was more of someone who happened to run a buy-sell-trade website that also happened to sell drugs.

Exactly.
If anything the Silk Road and it's subsequent iterations have DECREASED violence around the drug trade exponentially.

Also, Ross's case is a perfect example of why drug prohibition simply does not work -
They put Ross away for life but guess what? The Silk Road did not go away, and it never will. Whenever they incarcerate a drug "king pin" -- that's just creating a job opening for someone else to fill. And on, and on, and on.....

I'm watching the video; unfortunately I don't even have a $1 to donate.
I'm also reading how the DEA go him and cloned his DATA on his laptop before he could stop it- and how USB-kill switches became widely available after this occurrence. Crazy.
Yeah myself and many boomtown members can testify that getting drugs online may have been slightly hampered after the immediate fall of the SilkRoad, but overall little has changed. Drugs are still readily available and the dark net went deeper into the dark to avoid detection.

Did you get sentenced to life in prison for a non-violent drug offense?

Ulbricht was charged with money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic narcotics,[18][22] and procuring murder.[19] The charge of procuring murder was removed from the indictment[23] although the evidence was factored into Ulbricht's sentence.
Ulbricht was convicted of money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics in February 2015.[3] He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

None of these charges are for violent crimes. Ross does not deserve a life sentence.
Why would Ross donate to your legal bills, btw? Are you in jail for life for a non-violent drug charge? Are you trying to file an appeal with a federal court that costs multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars?

i completely agree with that statement. Even when it first came out, the whole thing that he put that hit out seemed extremely suspect. these agencies are known for fabricating evidence in the courts to protect how they really obtained info or whatever.
