I think his original sentence was absolutely deserved—even though the charge of hiring a contract killer to assassinate his business competition may have been dropped, I think it's clear he did many things in the same vein. Even if you support his original pursuit of a free and open online marketplace, I think most people would agree he took it a bridge too far in the end.

That said, I do think he absolutely deserved to be released, not because he didn't deserve to be locked up in the first place, but because he's clearly been rehabilitated and has done great work during his time in prison. All that considered, ten years seems like a not unreasonable prison sentence for what he did. I hope he'll continue to do good when he's released.

I don’t see why he deserves to be released.

So many people are in jail for crimes they didn’t commit, or for non-violent offenses that were committed out of hardship and a need to eat.

They gave evidence he tried to have someone killed, and that he saw confirmation it had been done.

Even if the accusation is somehow false and he didn’t order that killing, how many people did he actually kill just by running Silk Road?

I’m so sick of the narrative that aww shucks he’s a good kid from a good family and he just made a boo-boo and didn’t mean to build a multi-billion dollar illicit fortune from trafficking deadly drugs and outright poisons all over the world.

If this dude wasn’t a money-raised white kid from California no-one would care.
