  Killing someone and not getting caught is actually not equivalent to not killing anyone. What a bizarre line of argument that people make about this guy.

    Are you aware of how rule of law works? There was no conclusive proof that anyone were murdered in this whole case. The justice system does not work on baseless accusations and it's a good thing your bias isn't going to affect it.

      The justice system does not consider the murder-for-hire attempts "baseless accusations". From the sentencing document: > The Court must determine whether these allegations have been demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence and I find that there is ample and unambiguous evidence that Ulbricht commissioned five murders as part of his efforts to protect his criminal enterprise and that he paid for these murders. [...] The Court finds that the evidence is clear and unambiguous and it far exceeds the necessary preponderance findings

        > preponderance This is a criminal trial, not a civil one. Preponderance is not sufficient.
