@RealRossU

I was arrested at the age of 29 and today I turn 39. I’ve lost my 30s to prison.

During that time, I’ve done my best to learn from my mistakes, better myself, and help others do the same.

I hope someday I can make amends as a free man as well.

Although I do not the truth of the charges, but he was charged with facilitating thecdtug trade and child sex trafficking.

A bit left field from me but I know Freepers can research/look him up and learn.

A double life sentence without parole he got.

Absolutely absurd

Founded the dark web Silk Road marketplace where customers trafficked in drugs, people, found hit men, etc. Not a nice place and not a nice man to go that route. Let him stay where he is, out of trouble.

There’s a couple of pretty good documentaries about him on YT.

The American Greed episode on him is pretty good as well.
