Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating an anonymous e-commerce website called Silk Road. An entrepreneur passionate about free markets and privacy, he was 26 when he made the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial. This October he will have served his 10th year in prison. • The first auction of 5 of the 21 originals will take place next week (19/09) and will be held by Scarce City. 90% of the proceeds will go to FreeRoss.org #FreeRoss image

Everytime I am reminded of Ross Ulbricht and Julian Assange, I am reminded of how powerless we were against the tyrannies of governments, and how we are still so small. Everyday I pray that they can be set free and reunited with their families. Waiting for the day we can do more than just pray. We'll get there. View quoted note →
Never charged at trial, these unproven and dismissed-with-prejudice 2018 allegations can never be re-filed or used against Ross. Even Curtis Green, the only alleged victim ever identified, is a longtime, fervent supporter of Ross’s release. image

So the documents read and presented in court -- which i dont think Ross never disputed -- are wrong?
I think you’ll find he set up a marketplace and was made an example of. He should be freed after 10 years inside. It’s punishment enough
