>two life sentences for making a website

Is this the silk road dude?

It's unconscionable. How do they live knowing they ruined an innocent life?

>two life sentences for creating a black market for substances that are illegal in the country he resides. He also could have maybe ordered the assassination of various individuals. Maybe.

I don't agree with it and honestly find it sickening, but at least be factual for what he was put in jail for.

>>62421612

yeah, he posted his personal Gmail account when he advertised his new site (silk road) back in the day kek

>>62421598
>implying he made the website

>>62421636
he was threatening to leak all his info online, there was a lot at stake then

>>62421636

Where is the actual proof?

No evidence for the case except the website. He facilitated with the website and it became popular. Nothing more. Yet he gets two life sentences. Absurd.

>>62421598
Since the only 'acceptable' means of prejudice theses days is of sexual aesthetic.. I say GUILTY! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!

lmao that dude is 100% getting railed every day by bbc in prison

>>62421709
>He facilitated with the website and it became popular. Nothing more. Yet he gets two life sentences. Absurd.

He was a party to a crime, if this is your argument then he is essentially like a 'look out' for a break in. He knew that a crime was being committed and he profited from this action be that directly or indirectly.

>>62421716
He's in a supermax so no he isn't

>>62421762
Fug apologies nevermind he isn't

>>62421755
Google is party to and actively facilitates crimes every day. Yet their lawyers argues they are just an indexer of crime. Billion dollar company. Sorry, Billions.

>>62421598
I wish it still existed so that we had some way of measuring how much the price of bitcoin was killing actual commerce.

>>62421762
Sounds super up there. If so why???

He cut into CIA's business and couldn't compete.

it actually pisses me off this guy gets hit hard with the books and chelsea manning is free. Edward had a good reason. Manning was just a bitch "bawww innocent people die in war"

>>62421824
>tfw all darknet sites are now owned by the CIA
Killing two birds with one stone

I don't see how his service was so good that it was all that worth going to prison for.

People in my area sell drugs through fucking whatsapp and telegram groups, and nobody catches them.

>>62421846
The only service he had was a platform for people to sell illicit things. He didn't really do anything illegal himself.

>>62421829
Manning was given an exorbitant sentence in order "send a message" to other potential leakers. They did nothing wrong. Also he/she is becoming a pretty good trap.

>>62421865
>Also he/she is becoming a pretty good trap.

he leaked classified data that surprised no one.

Kim dot com would've walked...errr...used a scooter and slowly got away.

>>62421786

Google takes steps to remove and prevent the facilitation of a crime. They also dutifully comply with all legal requests for information. Google is a party to a crime everyday but they acknowledge this and meet their obligations under law to comply with all lawful requests for information.

Ross Ulbricht in my country would need to at the minimum create reasonable doubt that he was not aware of what was on the website and create reasonable doubt that he did not profit directly or indirectly from the managing the website. Reasonable doubt could be that codes were used to describe the items sold that were non-descriptive based on his access to the website as a manager, which he was paid to manage for a set fee among a range of other websites he was managing.

>>62421907
Google complies with what they have to comply with to skirt justice. They still profit from anything they can get away with and claim ignorance. I'm sorry, how does someone profit from a tor site? But the real message is clear... principles are punishable by the toughest means, profit is ignored.

>>62421907
yeah, no, absolutely not. Google is above the law because of good old fashioned corruption

But if the G word triggers you, think Craigslist. Same thing

>>62421998
>Google complies with what they have to comply with to skirt justice.They still profit from anything they can get away with and claim ignorance.

Correct, if you were operating a multi-billion company would you hire hundreds of thousands possibly even millions of staff to check the content of your content daily? Google does not win many if not any points for taking the moral high ground, but under law they are compliant with the law of the countries they operate in.

>I'm sorry, how does someone profit from a tor site?

It could be in the same way that Visa and Mastercard operate, by skimming a small percentage off the money the seller makes or through a subscription based service.

You can also profit from a crime by having insider knowledge of the market, which you can use to undercut other sellers and or prevent other sellers from going below your price.

He was also 'managing' the site and it could be reasonable expected that somehow along his journey he may have encounter some of the material that could have been a thumbail that is an image representing drug use. A reasonable person who puts together enough of the clues could reasonable expect that he would understand what was on the website, which at this point he became a party to the crime if he did not report it to the authorities.

>>62422048

Craiglist is very similar to Google in following the law to the letter it needs to be compliant. They also love to reduce their responsibility of damages against them by clearly outlining the sexual health risks of meeting strangers online.

What nigger?

> multi-billion company would you hire hundreds of thousands possibly even millions of staff

Reasonably? Yes.

> minimum create reasonable doubt

>>62421998

Sorry if he became aware of what on the website he could open to profiting from the website, as my introducing to other people on referral to gain a benefit. Earning a profit can be seen as a benefit that can be monetary, receiving a service (i.e. blowjob) or even a good.

at the peak of silk road, drug related street crime declined in the us. let that sink in.

>>62421865
>Manning was given an exorbitant sentence in order "send a message" to other potential leakers.

That was pointless when his sentence was commuted.

>>62421846
silk road was about free market and anarchocapitalism. they never intended it to be a drug market, it just happened.

>Go to prison for making a certain frequency

>>62422281

I could imagine that a very similar trend was with pornography industry that overcame its regulatory hurdles, which from memory resulted in a decrease sex crimes.

I really could give no fuck if someone wants to use drugs as long as it has no impact on a child, young person or elderly person in their care. Your choice is your choice, which results in a reduction in crime without adverse effects on people who do not want to use drugs then go for it. Adults should be able to make these choices as long as they are aware of any potential risks.

>>62422345
i completly agree with you. i'd rather have my neighbours getting their smack via snailmail than have some shady pusher lurking around the house every other day.

>>62421636
>>62421652
>>62421709
So if he didn't call for a hit, where did that claim come from?

>>62422359
That always annoyed me when watching COPS.

>We just saw someone come from a known drug house, we'll bust him and do nothing about the known drug house

The claim is a judge needs to issue a warrant and if it turns up nothing it can risk his career.

>>62421651

>>life long sentence for pushing some atoms into some other atoms

Isn't a pulling a trigger and shooting someone pushing some atoms into some other atoms? Or clubbing/beating someone to death?

>>62422281

Very plausible.

I would love to see some actual stats on that though.

>>62422361
it was assumed by hearsay. it's not even established that ulbricht was the only person using the dread pirate roberts account, he just took the fall - or was forced to take it.

>>62421598
Wow he's way too hot to be a programmer.

he's probably with the Aryan brotherhood and shanked a nigger or two

>>62425447
he was a scapegoat by all means. we still don't know who else was involved in this and imaginge the cartells would adopt that system. they could set up some sites like SR in no time, maintained far away from the DEAs grip and if they are madman enough, they just buy one or two smaller fedes-like courier services and ship their product without any hassle.
