People who defend Ulbricht always claim that he shouldn't be in prison for starting a website, but even putting aside what was taking place on that website, didn't he also try to hire a hitman to kill someone who threatened to reveal what he was doing?
Here are the top political news stories for today.

That was a bust allegation. It was later dropped.
Some of the biggest drug sellers on his platform got 5-10y sentences, many are walking free, while Ross got 2x life sentences + 40 years. As Trump said, it was ridiculous.
@QuokkaRonnieUnity1yr1Y
Never convicted of the hitman stuff. It was found during his trial by a preponderance of the evidence that he did pay people to kill. I don’t really get the free ross movement. He was probably over sentenced. But he’s not some innocent victim.

That was alleged but never proven. He should have been sentenced based on the crimes he was convicted of & got like 15-20 years imo.
