And if the state of Maryland brings that then a federal pardon wouldn't matter?

Trump has not promised to pardon him, but rather to commute his sentence. So his sentence was: 2 consecutive life sentences for the 5 charges plus 2 Kingpin charges carrying 20 years each. So the commutation does not declare him Not Guilty but rather acknowledges his guilt but exercises mercy on the sentence.

Double Jeopardy precludes The State from retrying a case after a verdict, but it does not prevent The State from bringing new charges. Given the charge was dropped, not dismissed, and it was used in sentencing, I'd bet on The House to win.

It's all so fucking gross. I'm glad I've never put a cent toward any of it from the fruit of my labor. I am innocent.

It is so fucking gross, for sure. Hopefully, Ross's team has game theoried this and sees potential moves from the state in order to combat them.

I was at Ross's trial the first day. I did not return at the request of Ross's mother who had received notice of a threat by Katherine Forrest to sequester the jury if the civil disobedience activists who were outside the court educating the public on Jury Nullification and declaring that owning a website is not a crime. Ross's defense threw him under the bus day 2 essentially doing The State's job by admitting to Ross's guilt. The Defense always should have presented "Bitcoin is speech packets and therefore protected under 1st and 4th Amendments" narrative. I believe Dratel was compromised.

Bitcoin is speech packets, I like that. Seems Dratel had repped mass murderers amd terrorists, but not a coder so makes me wonder if he even knew to use that as defense. And if he did, then yeah, looks sus.

If Jack Dorsey had not banned my account in late 2016, then zero it out, you'd have a firsthand account of Bitcoin from 2011 to 2016. He had to remove "The Bitcoin Storyteller" . . . who is a radical Capitalist. He is not.

There were several of us there who were all Bitcoin OGs who absolutely communicated that fact to Lyn. But she didn't grok. And she was excited about "the bombshell" that she was sure would endear the jury to Ross- Ross's admission that he created Silk Road and sold mushrooms on it, so therefore they MUST believe him that he no dealings with it for a long, long time, thus not guilty of deaths associated with drugs bought off it. It was a total shitshow.

Ah, yes, an admission of guilt in one matter definitely leads the human mind to assume innocence in the charges that matter 🤦🏼‍♀️
