ross was the creator of the Silk Road right? didn't that site have no ethics and was literally offering child pornography, murder for hire and weapons?

yeah, he deserves life in the can. and not the good kind

yeah, and ross hired an undercover fbi agent to murder one of his admins. but you see, he doesn't deserve to be in prison because

Can you imagine how awkward it would be if you were a silk road admin and your boss posted a hit on you on the forum you moderate?

silk road and alphabay et al definitely had sections in the marketplace for weapons and carding and obviously tons of drugs.

the misc category was pretty much just brazzers accounts from what i remember.

no that just proves the fbi loves and endorses bitcoin, which is good for bitcoin

There's a not-insignificant chance that a lot of today's crash is happening because a large number of mobsters and drug traffickers got caught by the FBI and will need their bail money.

yeah, the worst that he sold was actual poison, though I think they stopped selling that pretty quickly.

he did display a great deal of indifference in selling certain drugs to certain users when it was established that said user was in such a self destructive spiral that the drugs were literally going to kill them. how bad that is morally, I leave up to the reader

he also did solicit multiple murders of people he thought were going to bring him down, but who among us hasn't tried to hire a hitman to deal with business rivals?
