The silent majority agrees with this sentence.
- mikeash 11y agoWhy would anyone disagree with this sentence, unless someone thinks having people killed is a normal part of business?

- valar_m 11y agoBecause that's not what he was charged with?
- mikeash 11y agoYes, it was.
- valar_m 11y agoNo, it was not.
- mikeash 11y agoYes, it was: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9627200 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9627200 Or if you want to go straight to the source, see item 10b on page 5 of: http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/usao-sdny/legacy/2015/03/25/US%20v.%20Ross%20Ulbricht%20Indictment.pdf http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/usao-sdny/legacy/... As far as I can tell, the only reason people are saying he wasn't convicted of murder for hire is because the top-level charge is "conspiracy" or somesuch, with "murder for hire" as one of the specific conspiracy items, and they haven't dug down.
- ygmelnikova 11y agoIts astounding that anybody here would defend this guy. Are Hacker News readers left leaning in general, or just is it just a handful of loud anarchists?
