Ross Ulbricht is:

- First-time offender
- All non-violent charges
- Two life sentences + 40 years without parole

Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating the Silk Road e-commerce website. Passionate about free markets and privacy, he was 26 when he made the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial.

Silk Road was an online marketplace where consenting people chose to anonymously exchange a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, including drugs (most commonly small amounts of cannabis). Prohibited was anything involuntary that could harm a third party.

Ross was not accused of selling drugs or illegal items himself, nor did he launder money or hack computers, but was held responsible for what others sold on the site.
