Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht arrested, tried, convicted

No chance for him to claim what bitcoins the feds didn't find or couldn't crack. Maybe they can be used to bribe his guards into giving him a more comfy stay.
 
The saddest part is thinking about the lives he saved.

- Better quality with review quality controls = Less overdoses, more consistency
- Less dangerous a marketplace (No buying from and selling to the sketchy guys carrying guns)

The market will continue his business in other forms. He'll be a useful cautionary tale.

Too bad he wasn't so good at saving his own life. When they threw the BS hitman claims to the media this was pretty much what should be expected.
 
So disgusted by this. I remember thinking about how I just read that former football player Darren Sharper plead guilty to raping 3 women and will serve 10 years. There is so much wrong with this place.
 
Is it time to pop the BOP boil on Americas ass?

The Trial I Saw - Ross Ulbricht

Ross's mom spoke at the Liberty Forum this past weekend speaking about Ross's appeal. Bottom line is that Ross got nothing even close to a fair trial. His appeal is so long that his lawyer had to get permission from the court to file more pages.

An easy way to show support is here: https://art.freeross.org/ Its a picture that Ross drew of his trial sitting in court (pretty cool web app IMO). You buy "pixels" for a buck and it supports his appeal. They really need the money...his mom mentioned that she got a bill for $13,000 just for the binding of the books they are submitting for appeal. Unreal how much this shit costs!
