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.

Furthermore the whole case should have been thrown out just on the basis that not one but two federal agents literally went to prison over it: https://freeross.org/corruption/

OJ had corrupt cops on his case but was still guilty af. i don't think anybody is denying that Ross ran the Silk Road, even Ross himself.

No, but you're taking something they didn't even charge him with because the evidence was so shoddy and making this the basis of your hatred. Yes he admits that he ran the Silk Road, whatever you think about that, he was given cruel and unusual punishment for exercising his right to a trial.

they don't charge people serving two consecutive life terms with every single crime because they don't need to. happens all the time. the evidence is pretty good actually, check the blockchain.
