Life in prison without parole. He'll never set foot outside of prison again for the rest of his life.
I wonder if this will deter other scammers, or do most people think they will never be caught, like he did?
I'm sorry, I am not up to date on this story. Did he scam people or did he just operate silk road?
I don't particularly care about Silk Road as a black market. The money laundering is a larger issue, but even this one I can get past. But the murder for hire charge is where I draw the line. I would like to see him serve an appropriately long prison term for attempted murder. It's not excusable.
Edit:
I see now they never ended up charging him with the attempted murder charge. He still has to face this charge in Maryland. Even if he wins on appeal a reduced sentence, he may get added time for the Maryland charge. He is pretty much going to be stuck behind bars for life.
