In a memo on Thursday, government prosecutors imposed a money judgement against the Ulbricht equal to $183,961,921. They came to that number based on the transactional records from Silk Road showing the amount of illegal drug sales as $182,960,285 combined with the transactions for fake identification equal to $1,001,636.

Can you imagine if the parasites and banks and corrupt government and corporation fucks were pursued and vilified like this?
"The government noted that the pending civil forfeiture against Ulbricht, which includes the bitcoins found on his laptop at the time of his arrest, can be credited to the judgement. That includes 700,000 bitcoins, which were worth $13.4 million at the time of transactions but are worth $166,124,000 at current conversion rates."
Shit man, I honestly don't know how he is going to cope with the regret. He didn't have to do a single thing other than walk away and he'd be sitting on 166 million dollars. At least. That knowledge and the regret is going to cripple and destroy him over the years: "Why didn't I just...", "If only I had walked..."
