Well, all convicted criminals appeal their sentence, usually with little to no success.

He is indicted in a murder-for-hire in Maryland additionaly, which can still be used.


"Ulbricht allegedly agreed to pay $80,000 for the hit, half in advance and half when he had "proof" it was done.
But he was dealing with an undercover agent (UC) the whole time, and the authorities fooled him with staged images:

On or about February 21, 2013, Ross Ulbricht communicated with the UC via the Internet, to discuss the murder of the Employee. The UC told Ross Ulbricht that the Employee "died of asphyxiation/heart rupture" while being tortured. Via the Internet, the UC transmitted a staged photograph that purported to depict the Employee's dead body.
Ulbricht, upon receipt of the fake picture, then wired the other $40,000. "I'm pissed I had to kill him but what's done is done," he said, according to the indictment." - http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/10/ross-ulbricht-silk-road-murder-plot-indictment.html

Quote from the journal the FBI found in his laptop, presented in court in trial's 5th day:

"The next couple of months, I sold about 10 lbs of shrooms through my site. Some orders were as small as a gram, and others were in the qp range. Before long, I completely sold out. "

Kind of like the drug cartel boss who doesnt sell drugs himself either..
By the way from what I read about the trial is he sold illegal magic mushrooms himself.

My guess is he'll get a 25-to-life sentence.

Fact is he profited financially from the drug selling eBay Website he operated.

What "other sites" are you talking about? Silk Road 2? That kid is in the slammer as well.

Facebook is not set up to sell drugs. Thats the big difference. Silk Road's only purpose was to function as a black market for drugs, fake ID etc.

He made huge amounts of money from the drug selling business going on on his "forum" on his watch.
He was in it for the $$$ - get rich quick.

BitTorrent Sync

This is not a good idea, there is no way in hell you can get this secure enough, even if you know what you're doing.
2nd problem is, most mail provider you send mails to will treat your mail as spam.
