Ross ulbricht was actually a very smart dude and the amount of technical and financial knowledge required to accomplish something like the silk road is quite impressive. Although he did make some stupid mistakes it's understandable considering he was one of the first to do something like this. People have learned a lot from ulbrichts mistakes and new dark net markets are safer because of it.

He could have start an other legal start-up or go build SR in an other country.

I suppose he could have set up SR in a worse location. He could have tried to find empty office space somewhere near 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. although most of us would have chosen possibly Bhutan or Cuba.
