Interesting. These are all crimes no less. If they never brought the hitman charges then they had enough to seal it.
Very interesting
Yes, crimes indeed for which he has already served a long sentence.
More that all the “actual drug dealers” involved in the case.
Well he is kingpin, facilitated trade etc.
Catching the head honcho gets the most time, like catching El Chapo or Pablo Escobar
He didn’t use violence to enforce his market or to gain market dominance. That separates him from El Chapo or Pablo Escobar imo
True, and obviously things that exist today are far more developed and sinister than Silk Road. At the time however, he was the biggest head honcho for "illegal online activities" and a bust like that set precedent for others to be arrested.
I'm not against him being pardoned, he served his time for what he did imo, the sentence was way to harsh, but again, precedent. Hopefully Trump sticks to his word.
Hopefully
"Crimes" in the eye of the empire that doesn't vwant to have competition bfor their Mafia operations.
