The Ulbricht family would like to argue that a conviction of Dread Pirate Roberts would 'threaten internet freedom'.
http://www.coindesk.com/family-ross-ulbricht-conviction-threaten-internet-freedom/ What a joke.
You are not free to use the internet for murder, money laundering, drug sales, et cetera. Why do people think 'internet freedom' means one is free to murder, rape, steal, cheat - over the internet? WTF??? If you do this shit, whether over the internet or over morse code smoke signals - you are going to get popped. Doing something over the internet doesn't mean all laws are nullified.
What a dumbass. That family hired one stupid ass lawyer.
You are a dumbass if you don't get it. And I doubt he tried to have anyone "murdered". Don't believe everything you read...if you manage that somehow with your feeble brain.
