I don’t know a ton about Ross Ulbricht. 

Reasonable friends of mine outside of crypto are appalled, noting that he attempted murder.  

Reasonable friends of mine within crypto are celebrating.

I get the divisiveness of the dark money aspect here (the for and against). But is the murder part true?

Yea I’ve been stuck here as well. By I believe most standards he is a criminal (I might get lynched here for saying this, but yolo). 

Maybe didn’t deserve as harsh of a sentence. But he allowed illegal commerce knowingly and willingly.
