"DeezleTime" USA vendor SR1 making $70k/month selling heroin got 2 1/2 years in prison....wtf?

Despite serving 21 months awaiting trial it seems like a rather light sentence for being in the USA.

I guess if you're making $70k/month you can afford a good lawyer...

Michael Duch, who earned $60,000 to $70,000 a month selling heroin on Silk Road using the alias “deezletime,” pleaded guilty in December 2014 to conspiring to sell drugs and testified against the site’s operator, Ross Ulbricht, at trial last year.

that's why
