This week, SBF is going to trial for defrauding investors & retail to the tune of billions.
Meanwhile Ross Ulbricht is still in prison 10 years later for creating an online #Bitcoin marketplace.
Free Ross. 
Discussion
Obama’s DOJ was pure evil. Between this travesty and Aaron Swartz, it’s amazing how many don’t know anything about these two cases.
Why and where should I learn about Aaron Swartz? Never heard before
A good documentary is this one. I have no idea why it’s age restricted. https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ
someone suspected of $20 bill counterfeit rounded by police and someone printing billions of $100 benjamin-s roams freely - can only happen in America
there is no justice. therefor, never follow the "law" if it does not benefit you.
Free Ross.
That dumb shit tried to hire an undercover FBI agent to off somebody. That's what he should have went to prison for, not building a website. That said, I think he's done enough years and should be let out. 2 life sentences + 40 years is insane. Could probably make an argument that his sentence is cruel and unusual punishment.
TBF, That marketplace sold illegal drugs
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 can’t 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. “that market” 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.
Free Ross
Unfortunately for Ross, he wasn't a member of the "tribe".
Ross 🙏🫂
Heroes. All the state can do in incacerating these honest visionaries is highlight its own immorality 🧡
I feel like I don't understand this case... didn't he order a bunch of hits on a bunch of people? 😅 I read ALL the transcripts and they were really hardcore??? Like who asks someone to murder 5 or 6 other humans and send him the photos as proof... idk I do not get it at all
Def don't understand how he gets compared to a hero like Aaron Swartz ... objectively tragic. Different category.
Open to being wrong here (I often am) but what am I missing on this case??
And free SBF! All he did was take money from idiots.
Ross learned the hard way how corrupt banking and federal agencies have become.
#FreeRoss
He did provide technological solution for ethical issue and one need to applaud that. Same thing can be said for 3D printed guns and for abortion in the near future. Technology rarely looses
Yeah well there is that isnt there.
Ross deserved to be in jail.
He didn't deserve double life sentences +40. With no chance of parole.
What was he 20 something when it went down. By the time your 30 something your a significantly different person. By the time your 40 your no where near the same person.
Every one deserves a path back. Perhaps murder is the exception. Oh crap he attempted that too. Well maybe he does deserve 40+ years
🤷🏾
Not the facts. He never got convicted for murder or attempted murder.
