Is that Cathie Wood?

>>50049488
yes it's from that one time when she forgot to shave

He deserved time, but not life in prison.

10-15 years would have set his ass straight, but they made an example out of him

>>50049488
no but he's probably taken more dick than her at this point

>>50049571
>orders hitmen
>thinks that the first assassination was done, keeps ordering hitmen

this piece of shit deserve jail for 500 years and his parents too

Who the fuck orders hitmen? its probably all scams unless you have retarded amounts of power like putin

>>50049636
sociopath nordicuc.ks

>>50049595
I'm not going to defend the morals of that, but I won't just look past the fact that he was baited into thinking that the safety of tens of thousands of customers was in jeopardy by some lowlife scumbag looking for a payday. He deserved a lot of time for doing that, but nobody died so no life in prison

Great book. Morbius movie about silk rd soon

>>50049654
>nobody died
not as far as he knew. he'd do it again if he got off, feeling all bossonova like he proved himself to do already

I think he is based for creating a market where people can buy therapeutic medicines with cryptocurrency. Furthermore, I do not believe he was in the wrong, as it is a dangerous business and people try to kill you all the time.

>>50049715
You've already made up your mind about his future thoughts and intentions and shown you're willing to ignore the circumstances so I won't even bother

>>50049748
No one tried to kill him though, he was just willing to have people murdered to avoid disrupting his potential cashflow (from massively illegal activity) - never getting out and it makes me lol

>>50049748
he was living in a penthouse in san francisco not in rio favela

absolutely no one was behind him, he is a trust fund baby with psychopathic traits

>>50049654
>but nobody died so no life in prison
he wasn't convicted for the murders that didn't happen

>>50049460
fluffypony (of monero fame) is every bit as guilty of the same crimes and was picked up by feds but subsequently released. I wonder why?

We have the same alma mater so pretty based imo

spoiled normie deserved it what did he think would happen

>>50049857
wasn't an idiot most likely

>>50049460
Meh hit or no hit I don't think he deserves as long as he's getting. Ghislaine maxwell got less than him. I'd be perfectly comfortable getting to know this man and hanging out with him, I don't think he's a threat to society. He's being punished because running a business like that under the governments nose is very bad that's all.

>>50050252
>narco lord
>hire hitmen

I don't think he's a threat to society

>>50049460
>I think
Prove it. No one gives a shit what you "think."

>>50050274
Drugs to adults who cares. Not a threat just breaking laws. He still doesn't deserve the sentence he got. You can traffick literal children in this world and get less time, how nice.

>>50050252
You can operate the biggest child sex ring in the world and get a slap on the wrist but avoid taxes and they'll nail you to a cross. Wonder how many politicians fuck little kids on his island. I bet we could find out with a blow torch and a hammer.

>>50049460
I think his current experience with aryan gangs is a lot less penis-free than his previous, fake ones.

>>50050252
>I'd be perfectly comfortable getting to know this man and hanging out with him
what about the bikers he'd pay to kill you? lol

didn't he want the bikers to torture people as well, to get them to reveal their crypto wallets

i feel no sympathy for him getting life

>>50049460
free Ross

>>50050403
if you dont think the AB wouldnt want someone like ross with his intelligence and unique skillset as a prisoner and havent offered him membership or at least protection you dont know much about the system

>>50050588
Faggot

>>50050613
I think they'll want Ross for his pretty mouth and tight anus.

>>50049460
Honestly who fucking care ? My portfolio is rekt and i don't give a f about some kiddo who tought playing gangsta with your real email on the internet was smart and cool...

>Played the narco game with hacking rules, got rekt.
Not my problem

All marijuana dealers deserve the electric chair, simple as that

>>50050618
chink

>>50049460
I agree that he thought he was ordering the hits.
Back in the day Bitcoiners would claim that it was fabricated by the cops, but really I doubt it.
Does he deserve literal life in prison for that? ehh...desu I think he'd be genuinely 'reformed' at some point, so not sure what keeping him in there forever accomplishes. But thinking you're having people killed is pretty serious too so I could see the argument.

>>50049857
>is every bit as guilty of the same crimes
How so? When did this happen?

>>50049460
fuck glow niggers

>>50049460
the fact that he ordered hits is irrelevant, wasn't even used in his case.

he got double life sentence plus fourty years in case he beats both, for entirely nonviolent crime and it's an absolute tragedy.

still, I'm >50% confident he will be freed early with a pardon. crypto will keep growing and BTC OGs will continue to amass power and will go back to free him . it really just takes one crypto billionaire who has the president's ear and Ross is free

>>50049460
>how dare you make a free market
>double dare you trying to kill pajeet scammers
>now lets prune this thread

>>50051480
>the fact that he ordered hits is irrelevant, wasn't even used in his case.
It's not irrelevant for our own judgments here though.

>>50051507
nobody gives a shit when killary orders hits. Nothing wrong with assassination.

>>50051507
you can make your own judgement all you want until the cows come home. that doesn't change that Ross got probably one of the most unfair sentences in modern American history

muh boy dindu nuffin

His only mistake was having bad opsec

>>50049460
>hits
where is the proof of this ?
seems like obvious complete fed propaganda.

>>50051480
nobody care about this faggot
wake up

>>50049460
His only problem was that he thought he was smarter than everyone

>>50049460
nobody ever died because of his actions. if you just read his messages with everyone you know he deep inside knew it's a game. the first guy he got 'killed' used canned beans to make it look like he died in his vomit. and then he was texting with "hells angels" out of nowhere. there's no fucking way he didn't feel deep isnide this is a game and got senetnced for crimes that never happened.
it only further makes it ridicolous, that the founder of silkroad 2.0 got away with 5 years. like WHAT? you give the original author double life, but only a few years for copycats? it literally has to happen the exact opposite way.

anyhow how the hell couldn't have get a jury or ever have an appeal? literally the only reason he's still in prison is that he got a frustrated used up old hag as judge and she enjoyed having his fate in her hands entirely. fucking ridicolous. how does sentencing without possibility to appeal ever even happen? especially fucking LIFE sentencing

>>50049460
like, seriously, he never looks up news or murder reports for the areas where his supposed 'hits' actually happened. why u think he didn't it'd have been very easy for him to verify if his games are real

>>50053967
also literally every ''murder'' he got done was set up by glowies. we know this because we have all of his mails. who is the criminal here

>>50051844
everyone has personality flaws. he is wildly different from the norm, so his flaws are very appearent to normal people. personality flaws don't warrant life in prison. he also has virtues and if he was out he'd have created other revolutionary stuff (like SILKROAD undisputably was) by now, things that wouldn't set him at odds with LE.

>>50051844
and show me how you create a billion dollar empire out of nothing, running it out of a simple notebook (at the time bitcoin marketcap wasn't even 100 million), and not get cocky about your intellectual capabilities.

The odds are *quite* good IMO that he is freed in the next decade or so. Trump was basically convinced (guys like Charlie Kirk, Cernovich, youngerish MAGA Twitter types were hounding him for years), really disappointed for that desu. Whoever said Ross deserved 10-15 is pretty much how I've felt. His libertarian-jerk-off diary alone shows he was in over his head. I feel for him.

>>50049460
From my understanding he wasn't even tried for the hits, just the website operation which makes his life sentence absolutely out of line and unjust.
If the hits were included, his life sentence would be more justifiable.

>>50049582
Jesus that's dark

>>50049595
Why did he order the hitman

>>50050552
What are you talking about?

>>50055292
>>50055321
>>50055335
Summer has arrived

>>50049636
Kevin Spacey managed it

>>50054168
Retard. He pled not guilty in the trial when he could have pled guilty or accepted a plea deal which would have reduced his sentence dramatically. Instead he personally decided to plead not guilty.

>>50055356
It's been summer for a while tf u talmbout

>>50055379
but he didn't do anything wrong.

>>50049460
He's chilling with Uncle Ted in The Big House where all the heroes go.

>>50049838
All the assassination charges were dropped before sentencing, yet he still got punished for them. Literally antithetical to the American way

>>50049595
Almost every head of state has ordered the death of people but you don't demand the same for them

>>50049460
He didn't take any hits out on anyone. He made a platform that people were allegedly using for that. He basically made unmoderated Craigslist.
He deserved like... a big fine.

>>50050436
>>50050206
>>50049803
This guy is a literal fucking fed. Nobody thinks Ulbright deserved what he got.

>>50051436
He's White. Niggers who literally murder people get let out after doing ten years.

He didn't order anyone to muder anyone, and was never convicted of anything related to murder. The prosecution just introduced a bunch of BS evidence as a half assed excuse to give him a life sentence.

>>50049460
The real crime is setting up a system where some random guy can easily get access to lists of names and addresses. What did pirateman expect would happen?

>>50055588
nice digits

>>50049460
Paying 250k to some random guy pretending to be a Hells Angel of all people(like it’s 1969 or something) like four separate times was really funny. He should be freed for that

Has anyone in history actually ordered a hitman on a darkweb market and receive actual services rendered?

>>50049460
>I think he ordered hits on people after being entrapped by federal agents; thus he deserves every second in prison.

>>50055514
i call for beheading elites

>>50049571
>>50049595
He is a hero

>>50049460

>>50049460
are hitmen even real? i've never once heard of a successful hit.

this youtube video changed my opinion of him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpMP6Nh3FvU
is an hour long but if you start watching it you will finish it

>>50055321
a person claiming to be a silk road vendor claimed he was in a tight spot and was going to release the personal details on all of his silk road customers as blackmail if ulbricht didnt give him money

>>50057214
but it was a glowie

>>50056362
because a successful hit isn't able to be determined as a hit you absolute retard, have you ever played hitman?

>>50049460
libtard who hates capitalism profits off drug addicts and criminals. Yeah, he can rot in there

>>50049460
Retard, the murder for hire charge was THROWN OUT

https://reason.com/2018/07/25/ross-ulbrichts-murder-for-hire-charges-d/

>>50049460
He didn't order a hitman you retard. That was a fabricated story by those crooked cops. He's a pacifist and innocent.

>>50055365
isn't that just a conspiracy? how do we know
