Yes I know he did not posess the illegal goods. But still there is no legal market, which acts the same way as silk road and is legal. It was illegal and would still be today. Otherwise one of the big american billionairs would probably be the owner of such a market.

My friend, it’s the free market, plain and simple. If he didn’t provide the platform, someone else would. Besides, Nazism and slavery were also once legalized.
My friend, don’t worry about the government’s rules. Live by your own rules.
This is anyones decision if one likes to work in legal or illegal sector. But I think it is part of the illegal sector going to the prison. So I would not consider it as a way to freedom 😉
