Ross Ulbricht may get some jail time, but it shouldn't be 30 years. Maybe a year or two.
I'm torn on this one. He's being made an example of, which sucks for him. I do think it's a bit harsh, though, even for the 'poster child,' but they don't really care at this point. In a few years, he may get softened up on, depending what happens with other people involved. This entire situation just keeps getting crazier and crazier. The rabbit hole is deep as fuck
