Ross Ulbricht Jailtime Poll

[moriartybitcoin]

Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht is due to be sentenced in less than a week.  How much jail time do you think he will receive?  The mandatory minimum for his 'crime' is 20 years hard time.  He could spend the rest of his life behind bars, depending on the judge's discretion ..

whats the fucking mandatory minimum for all the fraud shit you pulled btw mr eddie?

[futureofbitcoin]

Do you think or do you think he deserves? Since the first question doesn't really make sense here; that would be a question to law school students, not bitcoin enthusiasts. How would we know without a good knowledge of law?

So I'm going to answer the second;

Honestly I think 20 years is enough for this type of a crime. However, to discourage future criminals, I think a higher sentence is okay too.

He did nothing wrong, he never handled drugs directly, he just acted as a medium for the crime to happen, the US government allows for hundreds of people to die each year, do we see Obama being thrown into jail?
but honestly, he is probably gonna get life in prison

That IS wrong.... it's like saying you never killed anyone, you just hired a murder to kill that person. You did nothing wrong.

Also, just because some criminals aren't caught, doesn't mean that no criminals should be caught. That's a logical fallcy.

He did nothing wrong, he made a website and allowed people to buy and sell items, it just turned out that most of these things were illegal, do you think that if he took silk road down that would put a dent in drug trafficking? there are tens of sites out there like silk road, if the real law breakers weren't on silkroad, they would be somewhere else, doing the same thing

Sigh. I already pointed out your logical fallacy in my other post. Do you think that if you put a single murder in jail, that would put a dent in homicides around the world? There are tens of murders in the world. If you caught one, the rest would be somewhere else, murdering people.

So let's not catch any of them. Right? Man, think before you form an opinion.

I think they will throw the book at him and give the maximum penalty.  To make an example for others who might start a similar site.  Of course it won't make a difference, but that is what I think they will do.

Ok so bitcoin was used in all the transactions, should they track and throw Mr. Satoshi in Jail? Some motels across the United States are used as hubs for underaged prostitution, should these motel owners go to jail?
The real problem here is that they should go for the actual people that caused 6 confirmed overdose deaths, not Mr. Ulbricht

There are many more sites like silk road on the internet, for every 1 the authorities take down, 2 pop up

Dude, think before you speak. Do you really not see the difference between Ross Ulbricht and Satoshi Nakamoto?

If the motel owners are willingly and knowingly facilitating underaged prostitution at his property, YES, he should go to jail.

[QuestionAuthority]

He's the first of his kind. That makes him "example boy". Life in prison.

[gentlemand]

He's gonna be nailed to the fuckin wall. They are inevitable anyway, but darkmarkets are nightmarish for The Man. Anyone they can pull out from the shadows will be ravaged in public.

As for this 'free Ross' stuff, i could get behind that if silk road had been directly linking buyers to poppy and coca farmers and chemists. That would've made it a genuine step towards a better world. As it was it was largely just another outlet for scum and murderers.

When the authorities in the real word find something wrong, they attack the problems (the prostitutes and their pimps) but in the digital world, they take down anyone that they can hang on to, the guy didnt do anything wrong, he made a site, he didnt sell drugs, buy drugs or sell/buy anything illegal

>meanwhile, millions of non-violent people in prison for personal use drug possession.

That is against the law, they should go to jail, with drugs, they can switch from being non-violent to violent in a seccond

What Ross did was also against the law. See? By your logic, he is completely guilty.

It is impossible (by my logic) for one to do something in the digital space, dont the police have other people to arrest like murderers, rapists and serial killers? They are just wasting your tax dollars to take this guy down, he is not the king, he is just a pawn on the board

he will be an example.
