Many of the comments here about the utility of punishment is very utilitarian, which is ironically fitting since we're talking of SBF.
What I never see acknowledged (or believed) by more lenient people is the fact that adequate punishment (sometimes harsh is adequate) serves to send a message not only to other offenders, but maybe most importantly to non-offenders, that the justice system is worth something.
"Crime doesn't pay" is to me a greater message to people who are not willing to commit crimes in the first place.

It seems there's a counter claim that he didn't. > Ross was smeared with unprosecuted, false allegations of planning murder-for-hire that never occurred, were never proven, never ruled on by a jury, and were ultimately dismissed with prejudice. https://freeross.org/case-overview/ https://freeross.org/case-overview/
- tim333 3y ago>The district court found by a preponderance of the evidence that Ulbricht did commission the murders. The evidence that Ulbricht had commissioned murders was considered by the judge in sentencing Ulbricht to life and was a factor in the Second Circuit's decision to uphold the sentence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ulbricht https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ulbricht
