Wasn’t he in jail for hiring a contract killer?

I’m all for the freeing him of his crimes when it comes to his crypto anarchic philosophy. But I find it hard to pardon someone for contract killing essentially. Also I’m not an apologist for the FBIs handling of this case either.

I haven't reviewed the info for a while but it was pretty clearly entrapment as I recall.

Didn't Ulbricht actually run the Silk Road? Did someone from the FBI persuade Ulbricht to do it?

I think they're talking about just the murder-for-hire. It may have just been undercover agents the whole time and no murders actually occurred.

Attempting to hire a hitman who turns out to be an FBI agent is still a crime, and likely not entrapment in the legal sense.
