They dropped those charges
C'mon now, you know that affected the judge because he allowed them to bring in all the "evidence".

He got charged with the King Pin Statue because the value of drugs sold was over $1B. King Pin conviction is minimum 25 to life
He wasn't ina traditional sense though, he just offered a marketplace without having any control of the tentacles of whatever people were doing.

He got a cut from every sale. Sounds like a drug dealer to the prosecutor.
