Allegedly. They never proved that it was him. And nobody was actually killed.
Nobody needs to have been killed for it to be a major felony. Evidence was provided in court and it was used in determining his sentencing, but it was decided not to charge him for it.
The party of law and order pardons a murderous drug kingpin to score points with their base.
Whom did he murder?
Do you really care? From wikipedia
Federal prosecutors alleged that Ulbricht had paid $730,000 in murder-for-hire deals targeting at least five people,because they purportedly threatened to reveal the Silk Road enterprise. Prosecutors believe no contracted killing actually occurred. Ulbricht was not charged in his trial in New York federal court with murder for hire, but evidence was introduced at trial supporting the allegations. The district court found by a preponderance of the evidence that Ulbricht probably commissioned the murders.
I guess the big question is - when's the silk road coming back? And if it does, will it just be a big honeypot operation?
I would have thought there would have been a continuous train of successors to Silk Road since the "first one" was shut down.
There were
There still is. This pointless encaging and torture does nothing to improve the complete failure of prohibition. Unfortunately Trump and the "libertarians" won't be extending the same reasonable clemency to the many many many victims with darker skin.
