But yeah FREE Ross, 12 years seem too much for what he did. I'm starting to believe they are still trying to squeeze the private keys of Ross's wallet that's why he isn't pardoned. 
Didn't they already seized Ross's bitcoin when he was arrested? I remember that it was auctioned off at a really cheap price or that's a different bitcoin that got seized that got auctioned off. I guess there's some form of sympathy out there for dealers instead of the users, capitalism at its finest. Imagine the first thing that he does is do some stupid shit all over again, there's no way that the court of public opinion is going to let that slide.
