I had no doubt this would be the sentence.  He played with fire and in the end, got burned.  The end.

The end? I hope not!  Sad
The Prosecution of Ross Ulbricht should worry us all , that's what I learned after watching this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLrA1RYEds

That is a very informative video!  Regardless of whether he deserved to be convicted of crimes, this presentation by his wife presents concrete detailed completely provable information demonstrating it was indisputably clear that he did not receive a fair trial, something every American should be able to expect regardless of what they did.   The methods with which he was deprived turned it into the closest thing you can come to a kangaroo court while still having a jury.  This represents a gross violation of the fiduciary duty of our public officials.  Not only does he deserve a fair re-trial with intense scrutiny on the fairness of it, but the public officials should be held accountable by the public by being deprived of a re-election into any public office. 



I am not a legal scholar so I have no way of evaluating if he did or did not get a fair trial.  But it should be no surprise regardless that he got no sympathy from the courts and even with a fair trial he was going away for a long time.

Totally agree except : "this presentation by his wife mother presents concrete"

The dark web is naturally a place where bad things happen, but there's no law against being on there. People use it for legal things too.

No concern at all, he knew what he was doing and in the end the same thing that has fallen many men, fell him, arrogance and greed.  He thought we could be beyond the laws in some libertarian fantasy.  In reality, there are states, laws, policy, instinct and common sense.  He is no hero or martyr.  Just another ego that got out of control.  


It reminds me a little of the Freemen On The Land who don't believe the law applies to them as they didn't consent to it. They go to court, start nitpicking with their feeble little theories and seem astounded when the law fails to collapse in front of them and carts them off to jail instead.

and so it goes for the "war on terror"...


It goes for all wars in a way.
There shouldn't be ANY wars, however, unfortunately greed is a horrible illness.

A sentence for life is probably too much. But still, I think you have to take care when you sell something as delicate as drugs for people who are sick.

Ross William Ulbricht, legendary creator of the original darknet market The Silk Road, has been sentenced today in federal prison to Life in Prison.

Ulbricht became a hero to many in the darknet community, as well as the broader Bitcoin and libertarian movements, after his arrest in November 2013 revealed him to be the ‘Dread Pirate Roberts’, the pseudonymous creator and operator of the Silk Road. His arrest came after a months long investigation by multiple law enforcement departments in the United States.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense honestly , I mean Ross admitted that he have relations with the Silk road however he said that he only created the website and nothing else , if he is saying the truth and we take your theory ... Satoshi is talented and created Bitcoin it self (means he have programming skills) so I don't see how a genius programmer would hire a programmer .

That's what a Satoshi-like character would hope that you would see. And if government saw the same thing, Ross would make the perfect scapegoat.

I think it is best to stay far away from the United States if you want to do anything bitcoin related and especially drug related.

Not the best place to do anything naughty really. American justice kind of straddles the civilised world and third world shit holes.

Save the drugs and murder for Norway. They send you to a nice island to relax and no one can serve more than 21 years for anything.
