Mind = blown that the creator of Silk Road got 2 life sentences

For non violent crimes

Crazy how a judge can make up any sentence they want

Plebs aren't allowed to step outside the system like that.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Yeah, I always thought it seemed a little excessive.

It's insane. People get less for murder and child sex offences.

Here's the best documentary I've seen about it.

https://watchdocumentaries.com/silk-...-the-dark-web/

1.5 hours long but definitely worth the watch.

Nope, he was never actually charged/convicted for that. Plus the crooked FBI agent/detective had access to his Silk Road account, who who knows if it was actually Ross saying that stuff

It's because he was the example

He made some major blunders tho

Look at Backman

These guys are brilliant and stupid at the same time

Like my dr said

We can't get in the brain

Best we can do is guess at why

He made vast profits allowing a bunch of highly illegal activities to be advertised & in many cases they were fraudulent. People died from the drugs he allowed to be sold, likely people died from the illegal weapons he allowed to be sold & kids were abused for sickos to buy the films & pictures of on there.

Do you support your local shop in selling a product that kills 50 percent of its users?

Since when did Silk Road allow CP?

People chose to buy and take the drugs they purchased off there just like people choose to smoke knowing there is a 50 percent chance it will kill them.

I thought illegal weapons weren't allowed on there either but i could be wrong with that. That's one thing i don't agree with, if true.

I'd hate to break it to you but fraud(aka non violent crimes) can have major consequences.

Yes, drugs was the big thing, but guns were sold on there illegally. Guy is a POS, doesn't deserve any sympathy.

There is a cafe near me in Perthadise, its dedicated to a guys son, who died from drugs from Silk Road.

Guy literallty took the drugs and ran off trying to fly from a forth story balcony.

The guy who got yougotposted for 20 years was a bit tougher I think.

He was just doing a side hustle for what gov'ts already do.

They couldn't have him cutting into their market share.
