Ross Ulbricht may get some jail time, but it shouldn't be 30 years. Maybe a year or two.
Lol. Charlie Shrem got a couple of years and his charges were minute in comparison. He'll be lucky to get anything under 20 years. His only hope is if they can prove wrongdoing by the feds on an appeal.
Yes, he created Silk Road, but he never possessed any of the drugs for sale on it (probably), and he didn't buy the drugs (again, probably).
Wrong. According to his own diary he kept he was the very first seller on there selling shrooms he grew.
Those people would have bought and sold their drugs one way or another even if Silk Road never existed. So putting Ulbricht in jail does not serve justice or help anyone. Aside from making a website that specialized in drug sales, he didn't actually do anything wrong.
Not quite. I think you need to read up on the case and the charges against him. He also allegedly facilitated or helped to organize certain big drug deals. There's also the murder for hire charges and money laundering etc.
