*UPDATE*: Ross Ulbricht is free after President Trump pardoned him on Jan 21, 2025<br><br>CORRECTIONS: Ulbricht attended the University of Texas at Dallas, not Austin. He was born on March 27, not March 17.

So basically after years of dea and fbi investigations an irs agent found him by googling him. I feel like that should be a major moral to the story.

What is sad is drug dealers spend more time in prison for selling to adults who choose to buy this crap then a pedophile, who forces himself upon a child and destroys his or her identity and worth. It literally makes me sick

Absolutely worst combination of awful defense lawyers and a vindictive judge trying to make an example of someone

It's crazy to think that former government employees can get like 6 years in prison for stealing literally from the government, and people who sell crack, even small can get life.

That judgement was too harsh. Even murderers get out of prison quickly and giving interviews on how they commited that murder.

What did we learn from this? Be an FBI agent when you commit crimes because you can avoid a shit ton of jail time.

Crazy to think that someone who did not kill first hand is able to get life in prison. Feels like this case really struck a nerve with the government.

Never challenge a government to a fight on who is the best drug dealer .
