Just a terrible performance from Ulbricht's lawyer. They would have been better off pleading guilty and asking for leniance.
The government had their shit in order and the defense brought a knife to a gun fight.
Preet Bharara, the fun police, wins again

This guy is soooo fucked...
Just another extension of the failed war on drugs... they will make a massive example of him and will likely get 50+ years
So dude will die in prison the govt spent millions on this case and the end result..... nothing
Respectfully, Shadyj being no longer able to internetly trade bitcoins for meth nor kitty litter (in bulk) is hardly a nothing result.
IMO
It's funny how a guy who is smart enough to run an online drug marketplace is enough of a dumbass to still live in the USA while doing that and get caught redhanded with enough information on his pc to put him away for life. I doubt he got much of a plea bargain offer forcing him to go to trial, which the gov't was happy to do to make an example out of him. This guy will be lucky if he gets out in 20 years at this point.
I meant the end result being nothing based on the fact people will still buy and sell drugs and the exact same rate it has always beenRespectfully, Shadyj being no longer able to internetly trade bitcoins for meth nor kitty litter (in bulk) is hardly a nothing result.

Just pay for the trial with his btc
And the Karpeles ballyhoo Sonatine?
Snap fold
You'd have to be a fucking retard to believe the case the defense they tried to bring up.
He will still try to get it reduced I'm sure but gl with that.
Willie knows....
Bharara denies plotting a political career, but he isn't shy about the scope of his ambitions.

I (Preet Bharara) said, 'Are you familiar with Earth?'

Poker, Bitcoin, Security Fraud... "The fun police."
The defense couldnt even get their 'expert witnesses' to testify that it was even possible, the judge denied them based on a lack of experience.
Thats... incredible.
