    Ross Ulbricht

    For those that do not know, Ross Ulbricht is in jail forever. He was the architect of an online drug dealing operation called SilkRoad. It's very unlikely he will ever get out of jail. He writes notes to what we assume is his family and they are posted on twitter. He was recently released from solitary confinement because he would not participate in a prison beatdown. It's an interesting read, his twitter. I am willing to guess he probably thinks he should have made better life decisions.

    I thought it was somebody that worked for him. Anyway he thought he did have the guy killed, and was happy about it. The cops staged a fake photo of the guy's dead body and everything, and sent the photo to him.

    and then the cops seized his coins and gave themselves a little taste. Until they too got caught.

    It was a great story and it angers me Sonatine treats it irreverently as he too enjoyed it.

    How was a guy in solitary supposed to take part in a beatdown?

    It would have been a beatdown-for-hire kind of deal.

    honestly i didnt enjoy it. the whole thing was basically a libertarian fever dream.

    ross was basically micon plus a few bad decisions. he was probably a really cool, really nice guy before he decided he was smarter than the feds for exactly zero reasons.

    He had every opportunity to close the site many years prior. The FEDS basically asked him to. Maybe they would have caught him, maybe not. But he was his own worst enemy at the end. He is never getting out. It is pretty sad his mother is doing this campaign on his behalf. He is going to die in prison.

    what i find most shocking is that he has the balls to have hope.


    like my nigga no, you dont have hope. hope is for people who deserve it. you were a drug kingpin and a murderer and you werent real good at either. so no hope for you, ross.

    coffee is for closers.

    Must be amazing to have double life for something that didn’t even feel real to him. Like you know it was psychologically some video game to him just mashing buttons. I can’t imagine how rough prison is on a dude like that. After all these years the Internet still amazes me. The disconnect.

    like mashing buttons and waking up the next day and while you slept you earned like thousands of dollars in btc, tax free, in your fucking wallet.

    imagine the endorphins.

    really weird youtube 'series' trying to prove that Ross != DPR

    I feel for the guy. The whole paying an anonymous guy (who is an FBI agent) to kill another guy (also an FBI agent) seems likely to be bullshit. Both the FBI agents are also in prison and the courts have already thrown the whole murder thing out.

    Life in prison is just too much.

    But...his 'railroaded' series is obviously bullshit.

    first episode:

    Yeah i think its probably the same one i found on another site. Its about an hour and a half. Its full of ads though and for some reason restarts from the beginning when an ad is played, and it doesnt have subs. I havent been able to find a youtube link yet though.
