Well, I think that justice has been served. The feds' prosecution of Ulbricht was the epitome of throwing the book at someone to make an example, when the government's case was pretty flawed, in my opinion. 10 years is enough time to pay the debt of running the silk road.

I am glad that Ulbricht has been pardoned and I feel like a small iota of justice has been returned to the world with this action.

wasn't there evidence of hiring a hitman to commit a murder in furtherance of the Silk Road? that's not part of "the debt of running the silk road"

The hitman was a conman for a murder on a fictitious person. While he fully believed he was committing a real assassination, you can't convict people for killing imaginary people.

This doesn’t sound like an imaginary person

But does it matter if he ordered a real murder?

The trial for the real one was scrapped because of his other convictions.
