This shoudn't be in Meta, I'm pretty sure of that.

Remember "No Violence No Child PORNOGRAPHY" does that sound like a monster.

That's absurd. As if those are the only two crimes which would define what a "monster" is, if that's even an issue in this case. Would anyone even consider petitioning for a lesser sentence for a Mexican drug cartel member if they got life in prison? No, and what's the reason for the petition here, because this has something to do with bitcoin? I don't know enough about the case, but I know what Silk Road is. Drug dealers get rich off of the pain of addicts, and that's not something I'm cool with.

That said, life in prison does seem extreme, even if the scale of the drug dealing was pretty massive. The justice system was obviously intending to send a message to the next pop-up Silk Road.

Can you point me in the right direction, is there somewhere that I can post this? I would not say he is a monster he was 26 and made a mistake. El chapo is currently serving 20 years... js. He simply created it he did not sell anything it was an open marketplace that you could saell whatever, most of the illegal stuff was just mostly a little marijuana, but you could also buy, cd's , gold silver, cars. He created a bitcoin ebay that people took advantage of he simply believed in privacy. You will never take drugs off the street but while silk road was being run I do not think anyone was robbed, shot or killed, in a DRUG DEAL GONE BAD. I just want to reach some bitcoin enthusiasts their opinions, are up to them I just want to help... I apologize if I offended anyone, what he did was wrong, but he was 26 and a 1st time mistake. He should not die in prison!

I recently posted in off topic is that a correct thread for this?

the judge said we are making an example out of you...

He simply started the marketplace he never sold anything...
