I'm not pro life sentence but the guy who was selling literally tons of narcotics online from which people overdosed and died and the guy who was ordering murders of his narco enemies gets to spend only 10 years in jail is indeed ridiculous. Imo he should've spent 10 years more because this way it seems like he "just" robbed a bank or something and got 10 years and now it's like nothing happened.

I'm stressing it out again, multiple people died from overdose because of him and multiple people were about to get executed because he hired hitman to kill them.

They wouldn't get their supply elsewhere? The junkies liked it because they didn't have to worry about getting robbed. You want to get rid of junkies? Enforce capital punishment of possession like Singapore.

Silk Road in how it worked removed almost all the criminal life exposure from the process. People undervalue that, as if it wasn't a thing.

Did he actually sell the drugs, or did he just create a communications platform? Should all communications platforms be liable for what people do on them?
