That's why the attempted murder charge is important to me. Even if we could all agree that in a "free society" none of his drug dealing and money laundering actions should be illegal, there is nothing that can justify murder.
It is true that he ran a dark net site. But there is no evidence to link him to any of the other charges. They were all framed by the FBI, to make sure that he will never be released in to the "free" society. His real crime was that he had the courage to stand up to the bankers. In the eyes of the FBI, every one of us, who use Bitcoins, represent a threat to them. What happened to Ross can happen to any of us.
Apart from all the evidence he was found with on his computer. He's guilty. End of. The only people who are defending him seem to be blinded by this libertarian whole fuck da bankers thing. I'd have had respect for him if he truly stuck to his libertarian morals but he didn't. The power went to his head and he tried to bump people off because they threatened his empire.
