If ross looked like this, instead of this he'd still be in jail rn. Dude tried to have multiple people killed, there's chat logs, it's on the blockchain. Some of those people weren't real, at least one was. Either way this was his m.o. just after like 18 months or being the Dread Pirate Roberts. Crazy that people cheer him on.

I remember quotes of the entrapment messages, the FBI agents were pushing real hard to order hits after he wasn't interested. Also something about him not being allowed to use server logs to prove that he didn't actually order those hits, multiple people had access to his account, etc? Plus the agents involved later went to prison for corruption in that case. I don't think he deserved even 11 years, let alone multiple life sentences and no chance of parole. The judge said he was being made an example of, which is itself an atrocity. Despite all that, he has been a model inmate by all accounts and did everything to show rehabilitation and remorse.

yeah this is my thinking as well, the cops involved in the case were SO dirty it's hard to trust any of the details around the case and I see it as entirely possible he was entrapped/the messages to kill people actually weren't his

I haven't looked into it enough to know I just know dirty cops were very involved in the case and that makes me skeptical of any claims against him that aren't bulletproof
