TBF, That marketplace sold illegal drugs
Discussion
TBF is SBF brother?
Which is no sufficient reason for the absurdly high sentence. It wasn't him selling the drugs.
It was the supposed attempt at murder for hire.
They dropped those charges
C'mon now, you know that affected the judge because he allowed them to bring in all the "evidence".
You canβt sentence someone on charges that are dropped
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.
Probably upset the CIA and their cocaine sales but Tom Cruise amiright?
He got a cut from every sale. Sounds like a drug dealer to the prosecutor.
TBF, no it didnt. βthat marketβ didnt sell anything.
Yes, it did. As federal law prescribed. The court case and charges are quite clear.
We can absolutely agree or argue that it shouldn't be illegal to run a website like that, but it was and is.
If I run a website marketplace for ceeps to buy and sell child porn, it absolutely would land me in jail for violation of many laws. No matter if I only had trading in USD, bitcoin, or shells.
Let's not act like he didn't break federal law. Instead let's try and get 'marketplace' type laws changed.
again, the website sold nothing.
people did.
what bothers you, and most Statists, is that it enabled a bypassing of government control. Which is why they tried to make an example of him through violence. something establishment conservatives support as long as they get what they want. which is why they are part of the short sighted, State worshiping, control freak problem.
The CIA also deals illegal drugs DIRECTLY. They are somehow still a taxpayer funded organization. Ross hosted a Bitcoin based craigstlist.
