In October 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Ulbricht and took Silk Road offline. In 2015, he was convicted of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, distributing narcotics, distributing narcotics by means of the internet, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.[7][8] He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ulbricht's appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2017 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 were unsuccessful.[9][10][11]


He was selling drugs on line through an anonymous internet trick to defeat any tracking and was found by a district court to have committed various murders of people who might have disclosed it.

Sounds like a stand up guy.

You support a life sentence for selling drugs?

Removing the prescription drug protections for Medicare seems to be at odds with this promise. Potential to open the door for big increases

Can you be more specific? What did he do with Medicare? I missed that one

Trump 'misrepresented' Hunter Biden laptop letter, John Brennan complains after losing security clearance

Ex-CIA head John Brennan discussed President Donald Trump removing his security clearance for his involvement in the Hunter Biden laptop letter on MSNBC.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

"He misrepresented the facts in that executive order because it said that we had suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation," Brennan said on MSNBC Tuesday. "No, we said it was all the hallmarks of Russian information operations, including the dumping of accurate information, which is what we said in that letter."

Wow.

Here's his conviction. Which constitutes a life without parole sentence?

Ulbricht, 31, of San Francisco, California, was convicted of the following seven offenses after a four-week jury trial: distributing narcotics, distributing narcotics by means of the Internet, conspiring to distribute narcotics, engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiring to commit computer hacking, conspiring to traffic in false identity documents, and conspiring to commit money laundering.

There is no conviction for the murders you mentioned. How is that relevant to his sentence?

I agree, the sentence was excessive. My belief is that he was used to set an example to others, don't create something the government cannot monitor.

Nothing has been done to fix the insanity, though. Why aren’t they campaigning on rewriting statutes to make sure they don’t apply to stuff like this? Call it criminal justice reform (it is) and dare the democrats to try to stop it.

Trump passed some level of CJR last time. What’re you’re discussing would be great, but would also take a year to happen. We shouldn’t **** on a + even if it’s not everything we want

How is one guy getting a pardon to undo a perfectly legal sentence a positive for anybody but him?

Making the sentence and/or conviction unlawful would be a positive.

Various murders was never proven so not sure where you read that. And he never personally sold drugs. he simply created a website. His sentence was beyond ridiculous




quoted from a Reason article

"The charges were: "narcotics trafficking; distribution of narcotics by means of the Internet; narcotics trafficking conspiracy; continuing criminal enterprise; conspiracy to aid and abet computer hacking; conspiracy to traffic in fraudulent identity documents; and money laundering conspiracy."

None of the charges were related to either personally selling an illegal substance to anyone—Ulbricht merely ran a website that facilitated it—and none were related to causing direct harm to anyone's life or property.

Given the amazing water-muddying the prosecution achieved by talking about, but never trying Ulbricht for or proving in court beyond a reasonable doubt, allegedly planned, but never executed, murders for hire, one wonders whether the judge allowed any thoughts of those rumors, even subconsciously, to shape her sentencing decision."
