📣 Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht announced in his last post on social platform X that he has been in prison for 10 years. 😱
- Ulbricht has been serving two life sentences in prison since 2013.
- His supporters argue that his sentence is not proportionate to the crime he committed.
- More than 250 organizations and more than 500,000 people signed for Ulbricht's release.
- Crypto and Bitcoin communities consider him a "Bitcoin political prisoner".
But not everyone agrees. 🤔 Some users state that Ulbricht's accusations include more serious crimes such as hiring a hitman. It is also emphasized that Silk Road leads to illegal activities such as sexual exploitation and drug dealing.
Ulbricht's case becomes even more controversial when compared to the sentences imposed on other people associated with Silk Road. Supporters of Ulbricht's freedom point out that other criminals served an average of 6 years in prison, and that the top drug dealer was released after serving only 7 years. The creators of Silk Road 2.0 were released without serving time in prison.
