it's so funny that the people are arguing about that.

there are some crackheads here who really think the drugs are good and it's OK if Ross developed a network for that.

"There was no harm done. Nobody will come forward and claim that they were hurt."

let's defense any drug dealer who is using Bitcoin. Anyway Bitcoin is mainly used for illegal things but who cares? the Bitcoin community is "libertarian"

They want no gov, no law, no FED Reserve, anonymity BUT they use centralized exchangers who asked them papers, they have a Foundation, they want a regulated "market", protection EVEN they say something else "2 min." ago

when you ask them about price manipulation, they say "it's like wild west, we don't care, we like to be fucked by exchangers, we do not want rules"... OK !

BUT if an exchanger is running with their money, they call the police even they want "wild west and no gov, no rules". LOL

The libertarianism can be a 2 sided sword.

I don't think they have to do too much 'proving' as it seems it's pretty clear he was responsible and they pretty much caught him red handed, but what is interesting is what charges he can weasel out of if any and how long he gets. I'll be following this trial closely.

It is pretty clear on what he did n there r enough proof for it! I dont think he can weasel out much.

After spending the past year in a Brooklyn federal prison, Ross Ulbricht will finally head to a New York City court on Tuesday where prosecutors will try to prove he is the mastermind behind the anonymous billion-dollar online drug market Silk Road.

Is there any doubt he is the mastermind at this stage, lets hope they go easy on him but i fear it cant get any better then shrem.

You don't doubt that he's the mastermind yet you think he should get off easy? He's a criminal that probably deserves to spend a very long time in prison.

What he did removed violence from the streets..

America should be sued billions and he should be given a medal for pushing freedoms. "Criminal" is a moronic term. He shouldn't see a single day and many higher ups in america should never see the light of day ever again. Making drugs illegal DECIMATES poor communites and poor countries and causes massive violence.

Im all for freedom but you know what can happen if you are selling illegal shit online, he knew what was coming. What do you want people to do? Make a political party and try to change the laws otherwise you know how things work and selling drugs is illegal, and yes I agree it would reduce street violence but I dont make the laws.

child porn is non violent through internet too (also it's using Bitcoin)..... with other words, you agree with it... what mentality !

I don't wonder why Bitcoin has a such a BAD press lately.

Ross Ulbricht created SilkRoad and earned millions from it by using BITCOIN shit. it's a fact.

Now, few mentally diseased people are saying that Karpeles is in fact the owner based on a testimony where a cover agent said "DHS Believed Mt. Gox CEO Might Have Been Silk Road’s Secret Mastermind"

Believed = FBI thought this thing BUT they investigated further and they found the real kingpin, Ross Ulbricht. That's why it's called investigation; to search for evidences.

Why would FBI arrest Ross Ulbricht and not Karpeles ?

Why would't arrest both of them if they are related? It was very easy for FBI and Interpol to do that.

You really are obsessed with bringing up child pornography frequently, yet calling other people weirdos...? Please go away. Your arguments are nonsensical and rather creepy in nature

I quoted "The drug trade that took place on silk road (as well as trade that took place over similar darknet sites) was non-violent."

If drug dealing is not violent and it is accepted(as someone said), then let's accept child porn too because it's non-violent. it's a total madness what some people are saying

Drug dealing is violent. It brings death, it brings nightmares over families and it ruins lives.

I agree with iGotSpots. Your argument is child porn is not violent. Well you're entirely wrong. Violence is not only physical, it can be emotional or mental as well in case you didn't know and, taking advantage of a child like that can lead to heavy emotional damage to them(the spreading and taking of pictures). If you feel that you display pedophilic tendencies, mayax, please see a trained therapist or psychiatrist where you can work on your empathy(Placing yourself in someone else's situation) and more.

I gave an example about child porn. Bitcoin industry is full of people like you and full of morons, scammers, shitheads, drug delears.

How can you say that drug dealing is NOT violent, crackhead? Did you take some pills today?

" Violence is not only physical, it can be emotional or mental"

Drug dealing is violent (emotional or mental). It brings death, it brings nightmares over families and it ruins lives. Ulbrich developed a website for this thing(selling drugs) and he EARNED a lot of money.

Are you sure you're not on drugs right now? Did I ever mention drug dealing at all? But I think I get what you mean. You were saying that if people think drug dealing isn't violent, then that must mean child porn isn't violent as well, both of which you agree are violent.

I recommend you to read again what ivonna said above, crackhead.

"You need to accept that there will be drug trade regardless of if it is on the streets, over the internet (or over tor), if it is illegal or if it is legal.

The drug trade that took place on silk road (as well as trade that took place over similar darknet sites) was non-violent. This compared to notoriously violent drug trade that takes place on the streets.

I think it is fair to say that reducing violence in the world is a contribution to society "

I made an irony about that, crackhead

Ok, you have now contradicted yourself several times. You make absolutely no sense. Please go back to school and taking a writing class on how to organize your thoughts properly.
