I read about it only today. How do you think, is he guilty?
Yes, he is. Maybe not of every single charge but it's pretty obvious he's the guy who was responsible for setting it up and running it.
And what makes it so obvious to you that he ran the site the whole time and didn't just set it up, leave and get roped back in as a fall guy like Ross and his laywer claimed?
Where you on the jury or did you sit in the courtroom during the whole case?
Well the jury and judge was and they found him guilty. Nobody buys his bullshit excuse. That was just his last ditch attempt at trying to save his ass.
there were undoubtedly many many people who's lives were destroyed through easier access to hardcore narcotics ... that IS harm ... law or not law ... technicality or not technicality ... *ethically* the guy should burn ... (assuming actual evidence exists linking his involvement which , of course, there was) ...
You are entitled to your opinion, but BTC users tend to be libertarian and thus think governmental babysitting such as banning drug use/drug dealing is immoral. I don't tell other ppl what to do w/ their bodies so would hope for the same in return.
But Libertarians generally don't believe it's ok to murder people, if those allegations are true.
