sounds dangerously based to me

>>103981638
It's happening

kinda retarded move to antagonize the FBI to release a nobody, they did throw the book at him which is kinda sad and the judge said every single bitcoin that went through the silkroad belongs to the government but apart from that the FBI did a good job.

>>103983035
a dumb cunt that made it very easy for fbi glowniggers to find him.

>>103982997
they fined him some obscene amount of money and took it out of the bitcoin seized, that's now worth a billion something.

he will be exonerated

>>103983560
two more weeks. just two more.

absolute retard dug his own grave several times over

>>103983547
they got more than that, on the early days some fatso named Zhong stole like 50k worth of bitcoin from the silkroad with a race condition exploit, when ross found out he wasn't even mad, he asked for the exploit and told the guy to keep the money as payment.
Many years later Zhong got arrested and they seized the coins worth over 3 billions at the time citing some bullshit civil asset forfeiture law.

>>103981638
I wonder if that pardon includes the things he wasn't charged with. Like the hiring of a hitman. (Ended up not being a real hitman, but he didn't know and there is proof of the communications and transactions). Otherwise that would be the next thing they try to nail him with.

>>103981638
No refunds

>>103984906
>Otherwise that would be the next thing they try to nail him with.
Corruption of the heckin' Youths into Libertarianism. Maybe anyone could've created that market; but not everyone would've made a philosophy/reading club out of it

(what's the statute of limitations on the Hitman thing? also I think they might've skipped that charge because it would've meant having to talk about the corrupt DEA agents and whatnot?? Im probably wrong)

libertarians didnt support Trump as i recall (they booed him on the stage?), so political reasons fall off, hes not political prisoner anyway. Luigi is better candidate, especially after those thug releases o-biden did. he only finished complete democrat, so he has more political reason to be released.

not really
the libertarian party, sure, they're the faggiest larpers especially on social media, but more lolbertarians voted for trump than kamala

also luigi was a faggot

>>103986505
I have to admit this is based as fuck

>>103985799
The LP booed him, but actual Libertarians voted for him because Kamala sucks, he promised to free Ross, and they didn't want to vote for the fudge packer that they nominated.

>>103985799
State of this post

So, are they going to give back all his Bitcoins?

>>103987601
They got auctioned off years ago, but there is rumors he has a stash out there that never got caught

do you think Trump would've released or at least moved uncle Ted to a less fucked up prison if he was still alive?

>>103981638
CIA doesn't like anyone making more money off drugs than them.
If he bent the knee and gave them a piece of the pie, he would've never gone to prison.
While I disagree with Silk Road, if glowniggers are mad, I support it. I'm happy for him.

no, there's just messages between accounts and no way to prove ulbricht had exclusive access to the DPR account (in fact others were able to use it).

yes, hes hated because he eliminated a democrat, thats a half-political action. they will do extensive propaganda to keep him in jail forever. but to keep socialists put, it is better to pardon him. as i said, o-biden pardoned quite a list of thugs, i bet they will commit murders again. why libertarians arent concerned about that?

The man is free.

>libertarians didnt support Trump
If you read the messages written by Trump, he always mentions the word libertarian whenever he talks about Ross. Clearly a deal was struck with the Libertarian party to give their support in exchange for the pirate's freedom.

>>103981664
who?

>>103981638
His pardoning should go down as an embarrassment for the new Administration. The appeal to libertarian "principles," which really just means an allowance of degeneracy, is a flimsy and un-thought-out justification for the West's long-standing inability and unwillingness to combat eleutheromania.

Yes.

Personally, I just support Trump's original stance of drug dealers getting the death penalty, and would include a few legal drugs in that definition as well.

>>103999048
Ross never sold drugs

>>103998867
It's definitely a gesture that suggests a certain power dynamic. It can go either way: if you put your hand on someone's shoulder while not leaning into that person, you are the one in power. However, if you do that while leaning into that person, you're showing submission. This goes for family pictures and company pictures, too. It's neat to pick up on instances of this in everyday life.

Except he did, by not allowing the sale of child porn and weapons of mass destruction. Not sure why not, it was already a marketplace for the muck of society...

>>103999170

Because even if you are a psycho, allowing people to sell jugs of sarin on your online store is a bad idea. It makes you a much more valuable target than being a dweeb who enables pot dealers.

>>103999193
I'm sure it was. Fortunately, the Law had quite a bit to say about his "personal opinion" and told him as much... for a little over a decade.
>>103999201
Oh, it was just pragmatism. So much for that glorious Ancapistan paradise, huh?

that doesnt make any sense, the sentence was an extreme push by a democrat judge, the only possible reason.

He built a service for people to buy and sell drugs. He profited from the sale of drugs. I don't care what semantic game you're playing, he's an international drug dealer. Would you prefer I call him a "kingpin," or would you hem and haw about that, too?

>>104000089
he built an online market. its not his fault people sold drugs on it and its not his problem

>>104000111
>it's not his fault people used his marketplace exactly how he intended it to be used
Once again, eleutheromaniac "logic," ladies and gentlemen...

>>104000111
there's an episode of Mr. robot were a Ross pastiche built a deep web market and he said that the moral middle ground was "create the platform and let the community decide the content and assets they would buy and sell".

Season 2, where the mutt twink is in jail I think.

>>104000185
>the moral middle ground
In this case, any "middle ground" is immoral.

so if you kill a man you get 20 years
if you kill two you get life

if you ruin (effectively kill) the lives of 100's (very conservative estimate) of people who wouldn't otherwise have gotten into drugs if it wasn't so easiy, then you only 10 and then pardon. I see.

>>104000274
disagreeing with President Trump is immoral

>>104000298
I agree, Trump should be called out for disagreeing with himself.
>>103999048

>>104000312
hes not a drug dealer so trump isnt disagreeing with himself

>>104000274
The penalization of weaponry and drugs is immoral. Ross created a platform that gave the change to perform marginal business without the threat of violence.

they think they're all immune to that shit, that the fact it ruins your life is only something that happens to some people. You think everyone who gets into drugs do so because they're ready to become crack whores?

>he didn't kill anyone.
he gave them access to something that effectively killed them.
Its like if i give a gun to a spastic, and then he shoots himself in the head, i didn't technically kill him, but i definitely did.

>>103998982
Yes, so lets make it all easier just because we can't stop some of it. Moron.

>>104000530
No, in both cases, I blame the same people: the Founders who implanted post-"Enlightenment" eleutheromania into their post-colonial experiment.

>>104000580
>How do the drugs get delivered, genius?
Standard mail and logistics services. It's disarmingly easy to do.
>Me neither, hence why I oppose the pardon.
I get the principle, but this guy is just a retard who got entrapped. I sympathize with that, though I'd rather he be released on probation rather than an unconditional pardon.

>>104000608
yes

>>104000572
>not kids who are buying drugs for the first time
oh they know. it's one of the first things you learn in today's world. of course they are, understandably, too stupid to know better, but that's on their parents to make sure they stay clear of drugs and alcohol. "think of the children" is not a reason to limit freedom of adult people.
>You think everyone who gets into drugs do so because they're ready to become crack whores?
their reasons are their own, and I don't really care what they do. I don't do drugs myself, but I don't want to be persecuted if I decide to try.

i'm not for banning everything that is bad and forcing people to live certain lives. But things that we can definitely say are bad and everyone who engages in it (or at least 95% of them) end up regretting: i think we absolutely should ban.

>>104000752

>>104000827
>then your mother is your mother and i wont get her blood on my new shirt
that's fine. everyone who learns about it will think you are a piece of shit, but you do you. because helping an older woman who fell down is exactly the same as enforcing your vision of the world with state sanctioned violence.
>i'm not for banning everything
thank you massa

yeah - red meat, alcohol, porn, premarital sex. where do you draw the line? don't answer. I don't care.

>>104000935
>red meat, alcohol, porn, premarital sex. where do you draw the line?
all those things are fine, they aren't very likely to ruin somebodys life. The hardest one is alcohol, but again the rates of alcohol addiction to DRUG addiction is nowhere near close. So theres plenty of room for me to "draw the line"

>>104000580

A refined system can create a zero-trust logistic chain. We have the technology.

>>104000980
>The hardest one is alcohol, but again the rates of alcohol addiction to DRUG addiction is nowhere near close
Untrue, alcoholism is still much more prevalent in the US than opioid addiction.

>>104001225
because opioid are illegal. Proving my point.

>>104001252
Also untrue, since many opioids have legal medical uses and a lot of heroin/fent addicts started off as people who got hooked on pills they got legitimately. Pill mills and all that.

>>104001279

>>104001397
>it's almost as if people draw the line in different places
of course we do, i dont claim to be all knowing. We argue about whats bad. and why We come to a reasonable compromise just like with everything else in life. Maybe we might end up getting it slightly wrong, the line might end up on the wrong side of one or two would-be-okay things, but afterall that is still much better than pretending there is no line between red meat (obviously fine) and fucking opioids (obviously bad).

>>104001172
We also have the technology to end your degeneracy forever, but nothing's being done about that, either.
