What's more addicting: money, or the ability to ruin the lives of people you personally despise?
- tedunangst 11y agoIs that what happened to Ulbricht? How did the US Attorney even know who Ulbricht was to personally despise him?
- sarciszewski 11y agoNo, Ulbricht screwed himself when he decided to document, in excruciating detail, every event of his life (including all of his crimes). I'm talking more abstract: Police brutality against anyone poor or black, the FBI's war on hackers by exploiting the vagueness of the CFAA, etc. Sometimes the DOJ dogs (including federal prosecutors) direct this incredible destructive capability at people who, arguably, deserve it. But not always. My question wasn't about Ulbricht. It was simply, "Is anyone really surprised that Force (and other agents involved in this case) turned out to be corrupt?" I'm only surprised they're being prosecuted for it. :P
