I’m very puzzled as to why Trump pardoned this guy.
I mean, his sentence was grossly excessive in the grand scheme of things in my opinion but he was still selling illegal drugs that are illegal for good reason and he deserved to go to prison for a few years at least and his assets seized.
That bitcoin can go a long way towards treating fentanyl addicts and securing the border against further imports.
I do not think your assertion accurate. At all.
Did people sell drugs using his platform? Yes.
But did he sell drugs? I don’t think so.
People have sold drugs using Facebook and other platforms. Zuckerberg never went to prison.
This was a political prosecution.
He wasn’t selling them, as I understand the case. However, he was taking a slice of the action by charging a service fee for using his services.
He did not sell drugs.
He created a marketplace.
Iirc.
