Why lie?

As you know, and still avoid posting, is the fact that he sold nothing. He created the website upon which numerous users bought and sold illegal products.

He has already served 12 years in prison. Why is he not worthy of a second chance? Two life terms plus 40 years is obscene. He did not sell the fatal drug doses. Based on your reasoning, the owners of Verizon and/or management should spend decades in prison. How many fatal drug deals, deals in general, have occurred using a Verizon or other carrier?

I honestly don't know much about this case. I just don't like misleading OPs.

Wrong. Ulbricht started out by selling his own hallucinogenic mushrooms on his website. Several kilos worth.

He created the website upon which numerous users bought and sold illegal products.

"Illegal products".

Nice euphemism for drugs, child porn, contract killings, and identity theft.

He has already served 12 years in prison. Why is he not worthy of a second chance? Two life terms plus 40 years is obscene. He did not sell the fatal drug doses. Based on your reasoning, the owners of Verizon and/or management should spend decades in prison. How many fatal drug deals, deals in general, have occurred using a Verizon or other carrier?

A second chance for a guy who aided and abetted child porn, contract killings, and drugs? One of the reasons the judge gave Ulbricht such a harsh sentence is because he himself contracted five killings.

I guess you missed what Donald Trump has had to say about drug dealers, eh?

"We're going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts. Because it's the only way." - Donald J. Trump

"If we don't get tough on drug dealers, we're wasting our time, just remember that, we're wasting our time, and that toughness includes the death penalty." - Donald J. Trump


What they say about your cult is 100 percent true. Trump can literally do no wrong. He can turn on a dime and do the exact opposite of what he says, and you work your asses off trying to find ways to excuse him.

You say "This is a man that sold fentanyl, heroin, Meth, and any other drug he could on the dark web." But the article didn't support that claim. The article said the he created a marketplace online that was used by criminals. Should we hold the telecommunications companies accountable as well?

That im2 dude sure lies a lot.

Trump has pardoned Russ Ulbrict. This is a man that sold fentanyl, heroin, Meth, and any other drug he could on the dark web. He is responsible for at least 6 deaths by overdose.

But hey, Laken Riley.

Who Is Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht? What We Know

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced he granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of notorious dark web marketplace Silk Road, which allowed users to buy and sell illegal products and services anonymously.

In Truth Social post, the president claimed that the same individuals that convicted Ulbricht were "the same lunatics" that were involved in the weaponization against him.

Who Is Ross Ulbricht?

Ross Ulbricht is the founder of Silk Road, an infamous dark web marketplace that facilitated the anonymous sale of illegal goods and services, including drugs, hacking tools and counterfeit documents like passports.

What Is The Silk Road Dark Web?

The Silk Road was a black market accessible only via the encrypted Tor network, which anonymized users and their locations. The platform operated for the sale of illegal goods and services and was one of the first users of Bitcoin, which offered an additional layer of secrecy for buyers and sellers.

The Silk Road quickly gained notoriety for facilitating drug trafficking and other illicit activities. The marketplace generated millions of dollars in sales and more than $13 million dollars' worth of Bitcoin in commissions, according to a press release from the FBI.

The narcotics distributed on Silk Road have been linked to at least six overdose deaths across the world, according to a press release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

There is no more rule of law in America.

Um, presidential pardons are part of the rule of law. Here's the law, right here:

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

Since, as another poster noted, your article does not support your subject line, we should be more concerned about the rule of rules here on USMB.

But even at that, the rules give the mods discretion in addressing such rule-breaking, so whatever they do is in accordance with the rules.

"Rule of Law" does not mean whatever im2 wants. Where were you when Biden was taking duly convicted and sentenced murderers off of death row?

 

[IM2]

And Biden isn't narcissistic? There was no rule of law under Biden. Prisoners were being released and murders skyrocketed under Biden-Harris.

Did not happen.

If cops are murdering unarmed people with no punishment, you are going to see worse than 2020 since 93 percent of the protests were not violent and the evaluations show that Trump's interference just made things worse. Biondii isn't going to restore shit. She is part of the lawlessness. There will be no information coming out about the lawlessness of the past administration. You'll be led around by bullshit so that you will ignore the lawlessness you elected.

 

[IM2]

There was no open border. You are going to be shown that very soon.

 

[IM2]

Completely utterly false.

Ulbrict created the "silk road"...others sold the drugs on his site.

Ulbrict got sentenced to many more years than the people who actually sold the drugs.

BS.

 

[g5000]

And Biden isn't narcissistic? There was no rule of law under Biden. Prisoners were being released and murders skyrocketed under Biden-Harris.

In Trump's first full year in office, the murder rate was 5.24. In his last full year in office, the murder rate was 6.42.

In Biden's first full year in office, the murder rate was 6.81. We do not yet have the figures for 2024, but the figure for 2023 is 5.7.

Turn off your MAGA media, man. They lie to you every minute of every day.

Frme the OP.

Ross Ulbricht is the founder of Silk Road, an infamous dark web marketplace that facilitated the anonymous sale of illegal goods and services, including drugs, hacking tools and counterfeit documents like passports.
There is a reason Ulbricht was given the sentence he got.
Another source.
Ulbricht, known by the pseudonym "Dread Pirate Roberts," operated Silk Road between 2011 and 2013, facilitating more than $200 million in transactions for illegal drugs, hacking services, and counterfeit documents. He was arrested in 2013 and convicted in 2015 of multiple charges, including conspiracy to distribute narcotics and money laundering. His website relied on the anonymity of the Tor network and the burgeoning cryptocurrency market to allow massive drug deals.

[Seymour Flops]

But it does. Biden did not free sentenced murderers. They will stay in prison wth no parole. Understand the difference foolio.

But under THE RULE OF LAW they were sentenced to death.

If pardoning anyone violates the rule of law, pardoning everyone does. You can't say that it's the rule of law when Biden does it but not Trump. Well, you can say that, if you want to lose whatever tattered credibility you had left.

Ulrict did sell drugs. That is a fact. Just because one of you idiots wants to play the exact word game doesn't mean what I posted was untrue.

I know little about the case, so I won't comment on it. Trump is the president, no matter how much you cry about it, and it was perfectly legal under the RULE OF LAW for him to issue pardons.

Don't like mass pardons? You should have spoken up during the mass prosecutions.

Same principle as when you whine about mass deportations.
