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.

No, that charge was dropped. IIRC, it was on shaky ground and they were just trying to throw the book at him.

It had a lot to do with the fact that they already had him for more than long enough on other charges, such that it would have been a waste of time.
