Every 4 years, a US president leaves and lets a whole bunch of people out of jail by decree. Obama let out FAR, FAR more than any other president. Well over 1,500! Guess who was not on the list? That's right Ross Ulbricht of Bitcoin fame. Since Trump isn't letting anyone out of jail unless they are his friends, Ulbricht doesn't stand a chance for another 8 years at least! Probably 12 more years before even being considered. That sucks. Obama could have let him out. One strike of the pen- he would be free. It is over for him now. Over.
Do the crime, Do the time.
While I do have empathy for his family at the end of the day he was caught.
While I do feel his sentence was horrific there ain't much anyone can do about that. that's fact.
Maybe if trump supports bitcoin things might change!
You think that Trump, the guy who is so dull headed to think as if building a physical wall across the Mexico-US border would stop Mexicans from 'bringing in drugs, committing crime, and raping people', would all the sudden be in support of some entrepreneur who failed miserably? Does he ever have empathy for people who commit crimes (except for his personal BFF's)? More specifically, do you think he would ever show any sort of empathy for someone who didn't succeed at any sort of business, let alone, a business of 'criminal activity'?
No, I don't think that we will see that happen.
