And in that story, you might miss the part about the involvement of two now-convicted, corrupt federal agents. Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges stole hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bitcoin from the Silk Road. DEA agent Carl Mark Force attempted to extort Ulbricht, and even sold him secret information from the Silk Road investigation. Ulbricht's lawyers argued that both agents influenced the Silk Road investigation, and at times had access to the Silk Road servers that could have been used to frame their client.
Judges simply disagreed and Ulbricht was sentenced (Judge Katherine Forrest) to life! Can you imagine such “justice”? How come? How is it possible?
Now you need to know the real construction of the U.S. Justice System and American drug laws. It's all constructed to protect the greatest drug pushers. The truth is that Ross Ulbrich has offered an alternative to the Big Pharma criminals who are running the opioid business! And they are running it in the open! Anyone who dares to cut a slice of that cake, has to be removed, if possible with exemplary, draconian punishment!
And where do Big Pharma pushes opioids?
According to CNBC, Mark Zuckerberg is at once shocked by the opioid crisis! But guess who is profiting from it, by allowing black market sellers to push their drugs? Zuckerberg! At his very own site, Facebook!
