What makes you think I support those people being locked up either? Also, afaik Ulbricht didn't sell drugs himself, he simply provided an unmoderated marketplace.

Because attempted murder is bad. I didn't think that would be contentious.

If the law is unethical then you may be pushed to do "bad" things. For example if you are a Jew living with family in a Nazi Germany and someone know your secret and he feels he need to disclose it to the authorities then you may consider... murdering him. Would you really be a bad guy?

The hypothetical is simply a bob and weave. Hiring a contract killer to execute a business rival is clear and unequivocal.

FWIW he kickstarted the marketplace by selling shrooms that he grew himself.

Hardly the worst he did. Note a certain Trumps position on the issue though:

"We're going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts,"
