Original Note:
Ross Ulbricht created the Silk Road as an online marketplace based on free-market principles and privacy, not as a platform to sell drugs. While illegal activities happened on the site, Ross never sold drugs himself or profited from their sale. https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/ross-ulbricht-aka-dread-pirate-roberts-sentenced-manhattan-federal-court-life-prison https://reason.com/2025/01/22/with-executive-order-avalanche-trump-continues-trend-toward-a-monarchical-presidency/
