    He was not sentenced for running a website, holy shit man. He paid to have people killed and in at least one case believed it happened (it didn’t, the hitmen were all scammers or law enforcement)

    Let’s not paint a rosy picture of Ross Ulbrecht here.

      Woah, woah woah. You need to check you facts on this one. He was not sentenced for trying to have people killed. He was publicly accused of murder for hire, but not charged. He was sentenced for running a website and the judge wanted to “make an example”

      By all means link me a source that shows he was convicted of murder for hire if you think you can find one, but I can already tell you that you can’t.
