Owner of Silk Road gets life in prison

Well, to be fair, he believed he had ordered more then 1 murder, it just wasn't real, it was part of their case, that brings up an entirely separate debate, about whether crimes in a sense created by the investigators should be punished as real ones......It's all about what info you have to trade.....Osiel Cardenas Gulf Cartel boss, also got 25 years.....He created the Zetas, and personally murdered and ordered dozens of murders. Traffickers in San Diego, kidnapping, murder, meth trafficking, extortion, racketeering, got 35 years. The difference is they could all trade up.

100% right. He doesn't necessarily need the blood on his hands to be just as complicit in the crime or crimes.

Sounds like the goverment just wants to scrub out their competition in the drug trade.

Edit:
Someone already said it.

He has a good chance, better then most at an appeal, based on the scandals involving federal agents who allegedly fed him info, and stole million in Bitcoins. However, those charges were based in Baltimore, as the agents, and won't be clear path for an appeal based on misconduct.

I thought they were trying him for the hit separately

Apparently that is the Baltimore case which I think may be dismissed or tossed out, I think 1 out of the 5 alleged murder was a set up, and the rest were apparently a scam, designed to mislead Ulbricht.

They are just making an example of him for other would be virtual drug dealing entrepreneurs that wish to make untaxable money behind Uncle Sam's back.

this shyt opened up drugs to a bunch of normal people who wouldn't know how to get them in "real life"

probably did more harm than any drug dealer ever

fukk you nikka, the people who sought drugs did it on their own accord, no one forced them. you always have a choice in life
