Nah bruh. He's where he deserves to be. Just like the Sackler family, he aided and abetted the destruction of many families and actual death of many drug users.

Saying that he deserves a harsh penalty is one thing - but double life sentence and 40 years means he'll effectively never be able to have a life.

It's almost like a death penalty (some would think even worse). Ross did facilitate bad things unintentionally and/or turned a blind eye, but he was also young and reckless.

It's time to pardon this young man so he can actually contribute positively to society and make up in other ways.

So he deserves a strongly worded Nytimes article? Sounds pretty harsh.
If the world was just, the Sackler family would be buried under the jail cell in which Ross Ulbricht will rightfully spend the rest of his days.

But alas, Big Pharma can slang dope on every block worldwide with nary a peep.
