Ross William Ulbricht stole hundreds of millions of dollars & ran a massive dark web narcotics enterprise as the drug epidemic destroyed our communities. He was duly convicted.

Trump just gave him a full & unconditional pardon.

Remember this when Trump blames immigrants for drugs & economic harm.

@QasimRashid

He also thought he was hiring a hitman to kill his competition.

Five of them.

@QasimRashid I don’t think he stole anything, and I don’t think the sentence of several life sentences without parole was just. So even though I despise the orange man - I applaud this.

@QasimRashid He also paid for hits on at least five people (though none were carried out because the people he hired were either con men or undercover police). Because in the Libertarian paradise with no state coercion, contract enforcement is like that.

@QasimRashid

➕ murder for hire (even if not materialized)

"The possibility that Ulbricht had commissioned murders was considered by the judge in sentencing Ulbricht to life and was a factor in the Second Circuit's decision to uphold the sentence."
