In the "Railroaded" series of videos, it's implied that bitcointalk.org was at one time owned by Mark Karpelès. This is wrong. Mark provided free
hosting for bitcointalk.org from 2011 to 2013, which I announced publicly:
Change of hosting
Mark Karpeles is now hosting the forum's server. The forum is still owned by Sirius, as it has always been. There will be no policy changes.
I'm going to move the forum to a much faster server within the next few days. [...]
The old server was provided by MtGox. Thanks to them for supporting the forum for so long!
The new server is provided by
Private Internet Access, a Bitcoin-accepting VPN service. Thanks!
Mark never had any ownership or control over bitcointalk.org's operation.
The thread is locked so you can discuss this info in here, but is further evidence that misinformation is being spread by the 'Railroaded' series.
Also, their sentences higher than life are laughable. How can a sane person give a verdict of 2 life sentences and 40 years? After the mere 40 years in the shitholes that US prisons are Ross will be dead anyway.
Well it is silly, but what actually is a life sentence in the US? A life sentence in the UK is usually 30 years I believe, and not actually until you die. Sometimes you can get out in half of that time depending on the parole setting but many life sentences carry a 'minimum' term of 15 years and you can get out after that due to good behaviour or whatever.
