    I have to say… even with the Elon influence, I didn’t see that one coming. Ulbricht stole capital from the rich and enabled stuff including human trafficking considered evil by the religious right. But I guess he also stuck it to The Man, for which he is being rewarded.

      Human trafficking was not allowed. Not even CCs were allowed. Silk road didn’t let you sell anything that harmed others.

      Also, how did Ulbricht steal from the rich?!?

      He’s also partially responsible for why cryptocurrency has any worth at all.

      Did he human traffic? From what I read years ago he didn’t allow CP, fake passports, or other things he deemed “unethical”, broad statement I know

        He did not. This is misinformation. He also didn’t sell drugs, other than maybe some mushrooms in the very first days
