He will die relatively soon for the "crime" of saving many lives that would have otherwise been snuffed by drug violence.

The worst violence happens further down the supply chain towards the roots. Silk Road did absolutely nothing to address that and by dint of its existence actively encouraged it.

It's the manufacturing and wholesale movement of the drugs where the majority of poor saps end up buying the farm.

I've known loads of people who buy drugs from their local dealer and not one ever had the slightest problem.

Your jolly nightclub coke deal is backed by a blockchain of suffering and blood.

You think all the Silk Road sellers were incapable of growing their own marijuana, poppies, coca, picking mushrooms that grow on lawns? LOL. Back when I was a drug warrior, I lived next to a guy who grew marijuana in a pot on his balcony. Even though it was in plain sight and pre-Prop 215, no law enforcement ever touched him.
