Ross William Ulbricht (Silk Road) Sentencing
 

Sentencing for this guy today. Prosecutors want longer than the 20 year mandatory minimum and this should be supported what with the enormous drug trafficking and it`s links to at least 6 deaths. What do you feel?

At Least 20 Years in Prison Await Silk Road Founder

After reading the big Wired story on him earlier this week my understanding is that nobody was actually murdered. He hired people to kill others, but they were all faked. Unless I misunderstood.

Either way, he is going away for a very long time. Even if nobody died he did try to order the deaths of others and they will want to make a example out of him to discourage others from running a site like this. I would imagine he will spend the rest of his life in jail.

Yep, no proof about people being murdered but the prosecution are stating that the drug trafficking/supply has lead to at least 6 deaths hence the increased sentencing. Ulbricht`s people are stating that their is no proof that his marketplace was actually responsible.

Ah, that makes sense. I know his lawyer argued that he was just a dumb kid who started this as an experiment and made a mistake, but clearly as it got huge he knew what he was doing and when he paid to have people killed that is no mistake.

The article I read said he still may have a second trial on the charges of him hiring a person to kill someone because the guy he hired was a DEA agent that was undercover, however, it turns out that DEA agent was also blackmailing Ross so who knows if there will someday be more charges.

I must read those two Wired stories today.

They are long and very detailed, but fascinating.

I believe he should get off. Too much corruption on the part of the feds that busted him to believe any of the evidence.

Total set up on the feds part...a good defense should see him walk. Unfortunately , they will want to make a point, the guys actions are nothing short of genius, and for this, he may see some time.

His mommy and daddy say he is a good boy. Just misunderstood. His friends and people who do not know him say he is cool. So...USA in 2015. He should be let go and given a million dollars for all his pain and suffering. Maybe more.

The "war" on drugs is bullshit. Let adults do what they want to do.

Fuck the government babysitters. Look at what a great job those assholes do!

It is a war on people freedom to choose and nothing more.

:2 cents::thumbsup

Ulbricht argued that the marketplace concept was that people should be allowed to buy and sell whatever they want. Does this have some logic? (obviously any dealings with anything relating to minors is totally off-limits and reason enough for the harshest punishment but drugs, weapons, counterfeit goods and so on?).

They will get him for murder for hire next. After reading the wired piece - and if the hits he ordered are true (I doubt the gov made that shit up, but it is possible) then I say life in the slammer

he will do more time than the average murderers and child molesters get. gotta 'set an example'..

I read everything about him and he was an inept coder (not even a coder really) that set up foolish barely hidden servers for a system that required very little technical creativity. His system allowed cartel killers to sell heroin to suburban 16 year olds.

What exactly about him was "Genius"?

Oh by the way if this guy is such a hero to you then why haven't you heard that he will be sentenced today for at least 20 years (mandatory minimum) uh yea He May see some time

Wired is now reporting that Ross has received life in prison without the possibility of parole.

So six people lost their lives buying drugs where they shouldn't have bought them from? And he's going to get the book thrown at him?

What about all of the Wall Street bankers who tanked the economy? Don't tell me that crime wasn't the catalyst for more than a few deaths. Probably a lot more than six.

Why the fuck aren't they going to jail?

Because Wall Street bankers control our elected leadership through lobbyists and money and therefore create the laws. Not only did they not go to jail, they convinced the government to give them billions in bailouts.

Actually he received 2 life sentences.

If he wasn't young, white, sitting behind a keyboard and was involved with facilitating the amount of drugs, guns, etc, that he did not one person would give a shit.

Just finished the wired article which was amazingly well written and looked up the indictment itself. It's only 11 pages, 7 counts... worth reading as well for clarity

http://www.justice.gov/sites/default...Indictment.pdf

Yeah, "a total setup"... he willfully and knowingly created the worlds largest online drug purchase and distribution system. He also attempted to have at least 5 people murdered (paid to have them killed and believed they were killed). At least 6 people died from illegal drugs bought there WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE and he was not only unsympathetic but defiant about it.

Hardly a genius... just another shit disturber desperate to achieve what he considered "success", who created a massive marketplace for murder, drugs and CP. You'd have to be a total fuckhead to either look up to that, defend that or celebrate that.

SPOT ON :thumbsup

There's already a TON of copycat Silk Road sites, there's now a pretty big thriving darknet drug market.

Until this week, none of them had to worry about life in prison.

Again spot on.

Funny how he tried to hide behind silly "Libertarian" ideals to justify being a drug kingpin drunk on money and power.

wanted to say great white label you have. You do post some shit man. hit me up your contact details

Not that i agree with what he did. But you have to give him credit for trying something different. He probably got caught in the moment and didn't realise the trouble he was getting into. You on the other hand are quite rude and obnoxious and your negative comments show the kind of person you really are. Thanks for adding your childish comments on my thread. God only knows what sparks your negativity??? Faliure perhaps......Catch ya later or hopefully......NOT

He "tried something different"? He fucking created an illegal marketplace for drugs, murder for hire, CP and everything else that was illegal. Thats not "trying something different". Thats a paranoid sociopath breaking the law and where money and greed let him to trying to murder people among other things.

My negativity? First of all, lets be clear cockholster,... everything this fucking criminal did was negative. He contributed nothing to the world, he innovated nothing... drunk on his own sense of superior intellect, he tried to evade government and law enforcement and facilitate illegal drug sales with no trace of empathy or morality or ethics.

Its insane to watch a bunch of worthless twats online worship a common criminal.

I worship nothing brother. The only reason i commented was because your quick to judge!! After seeing you shitty comment on my thread couldn't help notice you love to put people down. I work day and night to achieve success and your negative attitude is disgusting. I use my intuitive day in day out to achieve my goals and im trying something different but your quick to bitch. You obviously have a very mundane life and get off by putting other people down..Great white label you have there by the way. If you want a chat hit me up @ [email protected]!!

Quick to judge?

You mean "quick to spell correctly"

And there is a difference between "positive" and "delusional". Criminals are criminals. End of story.

Im not here for an english lesson. I'm here for business shame i cant say the same about you. Have you got any original ideas you want to share befor you go back to your negative trolling?

Lookimg forward to your email maybe even a skype?

The problem is that you NEED an English lesson. And obviously you need some business lessons, if this is the final product. I do have an original idea for you though. Mikrosoft. It is a software company. I think it should build a spreadsheet program called Eksel. Maybe a word pressesor called Werd You seem to be the perfect guy for project lead.

Whats your business bro a whitelabel or 2. Im not even live yet. You have no idea. Hide behind your keyboard rather than email me.Says everything really dont it.By the way i am english so i dont need a lesson.cheers

Get tired of hearing about all this example shit... doesn't seem right to lock someone up for life for government propaganda & PR.

Not saying he shouldn't be in jail, I just think the punishment should fit the crime, the punishment shouldn't fit the government's current need for publicity of their legal systems effectiveness.

if you were my "bro", you'd be able to spell. I mean seriously, its one thing to proof read an entire site and miss something here and there... but misspelling the name and domain? That is an epic fuckup... particularly when you won't even admit it. It doesn't help you to point out that English is your native language.

Its for design purposes Y looked shit. The domain doesnt have to be in any particular grammer ie Crakmedia, Youjizz manica money slutload... Only negative jealous people with nothing better to do but hide behind a keyboard would even bother picking up on such a trivial thing when the product has great potential. Why dont you skype me and we can discuss this further.You must have failed at life real bad to be trolling new business threads to get your kicks.

I was just commenting on your spelling and how it reflects on you and the fact that you weren't even aware it was misspelled... even though now you are lying and trying to pretend it was all by design.

Its no lie it looks better the way i have used it. And it can be used both ways. Educate before slating me TYPE THIS IN YOUR ADDRESS BAR en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pantie GFY

I get that the almost never used spelling is a variant. However, no one uses that spelling. Don't trust me,...

One last thing if you where searching buy used panties what would you type into google

Buy worn panty

or

Buy worn PANTIES

I think that wraps everything up for us....Owned again bro

If his last name was Gambino, lived in New York and was involved in money laundering, dealing arms, massive amounts of drugs and murder, people wouldn't give a shit. He would have gotten what he deserved.


.

Im in the adult industry mate not the English literature industry mate..Haha get a grip.Do you even comprehend how silly you sound. Ffs its a domain name not an english test.You seriously need to get out more. Its going to make no difference to my business so really not getting your point here?

I know of a model in Australia who was selling used panties. Until a client she pissed off wrote back to her and made it clear on the package there was a connection to child porn. You know, just so the authorities would investigate. They did. She'll be out in a few years.

If you had bothered to check the legality of your venture you would not be doing it.
You should type into Google search, "How many years will I spend in prison for selling used panties on the internet?" Its good to plan ahead.

So I did just that...

Inside the Thriving Online Market for Women's Dirty Underwear

That Wired article needs to be made into a feature film. I do believe the guy believed himself to be a revolutionary, totally got swept away and came to believe his cause justified even murder.

He started out your basic bright kid with a libertarian philosophy looking to be a big success in business, the overnight success of Silk Road went to his head and because it had to be a secret his whole life was lived online in the company of sycophants which led even more grandiosity. I didn't follow the trial but it seems like the defense should have presented him as suffering from a serious personality disorder.

I don't condone what he did but it's long overdue that we decriminalize drugs, we've failed miserably and created violent criminals locally and globally meanwhile the rest of us getting no benefit from the taxes that could be collected. If he had done this without taking anything for himself other than paying for the costs to run the operation, and not paid for hits on several people, as scummy as they were, I'd admire him. But he wasn't the pure idealist he deluded himself he was, they rarely are. So I don't have much sympathy for him.

Yeah Murt, I agree 100%. It's all most like reading a screen play... your watching the movie in your head as you read it. It's very well written

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh - Its a constant race for who can out-gross the other. Men or women. I think women are leading cause they know men. Great article.

They pretty much closed the used panty machines down except for one big adult shop in central Tokyo. 10$ and a pic and you can get your sniff on.:thumbsup $40 bucks if you want panties worn during a girls "period." Ewwww to that.

That's fairly delusional of them.

He started believing his own press and it caught up with him. Just listening to the parents for 30 seconds and you go, "Oh, that's why."

decriminalizing manufactured drugs will never happen, and it shouldn't happen.

Im in the UK. Do you not think I have solicitors? There is no law stating i cannot do this. Sorry to disappoint :)
