The injustice with Ross isn't that he went to jail. I tend to believe fully free marketplaces should be legal but hey, they aren't legal

It's that his punishment was more severe than child rapists and murderers. That isn't justice.

That’s it. The sheer scale of the sentence.

I agree on all points. I don't feel like our so-called justice system is really about justice anymore. seems to be more of a signaling tool for those in power to strongly shout FAFO in order to keep people in line.

Please correct me if I’m mistaken, but wasn’t he also sentenced for attempted murders, or for contracted attempts to murder ? I read it somewhere, but who can believe sources these days.

No, he wasn't charged for that, they just put that into the narrative

Thank you! I’m still in the first year of my Bitcoin journey, and am learning every day.

This was very helpful!

Happy to help! There was an insane smearing campaign against Ross to make an example out of him so I think it's important to bring real facts to the table for his case.

I’d say so. Now I’m curious as to why there was a smear campaign.

Maybe we will find out.

Seems pretty likely to me that the US wanted to make a huge example out of him, therefore they had to throw a bunch of things on him to get him at least life in prison.

Perhaps. Now I wonder who stood to benefit by his incarceration?

For one: The US justice system probably scared a whole lot of people from establishing open markets on the internet
