Nice find.

A full blown pardon is unreasonable to ask for - however, we could request he sentence commuted to something more reasonable, 10 years or ect... Something on par with serious financial/technological "white collar" crime rather than a sentence in line with a "violent" offender.

"the defense argued that Silk Road had actually reduced harm in the drug trade by ensuring the purity of the drugs sold on the site through reviews and ratings, hosting discussions on “safe” drug use, and giving both buyers and sellers an avenue to trade in narcotics while avoiding the violence of the streets. "

This is an excellent point!

yeah Backopy is the only stand up dude in all this mess. Not sure if he actually got away though as everyone seems to think.

oh and FRIM took down utopia by the way and sold all the mods and admin dox on evo along with the bit coin cold storage location for utopia. He was the target of the hit.

have this info first hand

can someone ELI5 how this drugs get delivered to the buyers and how the authorities can't stop a single package and trace it back to the seller? my thought process is this drugs are physical, hence someone needs to send it and the sender should be easily traceable, specially when you are shipping millions worth of illegal physical products.
