Discussing FreeRoss.org, with Lyn Ulbricht
Channel: Interchain Live
Date: 2018-10-01

This is the 5 year anniversary of an absurdly unjust sentence. Our prisons are full of life-serving, non-violent convicts, not mention the falsely convicted.

“This case is the birth of law as applied to our digital future. Watch it as a spectator at your peril.”
– Scott H. Greenfield, criminal defense attorney

Ross Ulbricht, a 34-year old with no criminal history, was given double life without parole + 40 years for all non-violent charges associated with creating the Silk Road website. No victim was named at trial.

Silk Road was an online marketplace with an emphasis on user privacy. Using the cryptocurrency Bitcoin on the Tor browser, people anonymously exchanged a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, including drugs (most commonly small amounts of cannabis). Prohibited was anything involuntary that created victims or used force, such as child porn, stolen goods or violent services.
