Leaving out ‘When did he pay to have someone killed’ from your question is disingenuous, because he directly did that.
He facilitated drug sales. If you setup ‘clucks brick and mortar Silk Road’ you’d be just as guilty.
I don’t think that was ever rosses ethical objective though, I’m pretty sure he felt that drugs should be less illegal and safe. I’m under the impression that Silk Road had rules on what could be sold, and that post SR markets do allow those things, but I could be wrong.
Allegedly. The charge that he paid to have someone killed was never brought into court and never ruled on. Federal agents had access to the site at that point and could have posed the chat. Not really provable one way or the other.
Not defending him, but clarifying that it's not proven "he directly did that"
